I'm having a bit of a time trying to gain traction for my novel, much less any feedback on what I'm potentially doing wrong. I'm hoping someone here could offer some insight into ways I could improve, and possibly get some views flowing in.

Hi.
I'm no expert.
But here's my feedback.
I'll just say one.

When I read your Synopsis is one thing that cross my mind.
What's so interesting about Wolfgang's Insomnia?

Cos I don't catch anything interesting about it.
The 3 months period, Tanuki, and the program don't awake my interest that much.

It's like saying:
People is eating spaghetti with sauce and garlic.
There's nothing interesting about that.
But when
People is eating a live snake and the snake strikes back, causing commotion and blood everywhere.
That' could be more interesting.

Maybe if the insomnia were caused by him seeing the end of the world each night. And the signs get clearer, but people don't believe him and he determines to stop the apocalypse. Even though everyone thought he's crazy.
That could be more interesting.

I think the key to make things interesting is by breaking the normal pattern.
Like eating spaghetti with sauce and garlic, that's normal.
But eating a live snake and it fights back, and blood everywhere, that's not a normal event. We don't see that daily, and we don't get used to.

I agree with the poster above me. The synopsis doesn't grip me.

"a mysterious tanuki shows up to enroll him into the Chasmic Insomnia Remedy Program, a program specializing in curing his type of insomnia"

Maybe it's just not targeted to me but since I don't know or particularly care what a tanuki is it's not grabbing me.

"*This story has some spicy scenes peppered into it. Chapters featuring them will be marked with an asterisk." This is a good warning though, that's thoughtful

Quick feedback. I think extra spaces between the paragraphs makes the story hard to read.

Honestly, I don't know why that happens. The text is spaced correctly on the Google Doc I have it on, but when I copy/paste, it adds the extra space.

Update: Story has been deleted and am no longer accepting feedback. Idea wasn't interesting enough to warrant sharing.
