Mine please? 🙂B*stard of Abaddon. It is a dark fantasy story about a father embarking on a journey to find his abducted wife and son. You can except child abuse, psychological corruption for now. And it is 4 chapters long including prologue.

Most SH readers cannot read. They will not click on the see more part of your synopsis and see your content warning announcement. Replace your cover art with something that communicates your genre better.

I will, but right now I am stuck with this due to few circumstances.

The cover approval bot is bugged. It will reject anything and everything. You will have to wait for a human to manually approve the change.

That's not the problem, my tablet is not with me right now to fix things.

I already expected this.

This is to let readers know if there is enough chapters to binge or not when they see your story in latest updates.

More chapters attract more readers.

I am a hapless shill

Hopefully I dodge the cover bit
Update speed too slow for a story with 1800 average words per chapter. Post at least two chapters a week. Or be patient and wait until 20 chapters for readers to notice your story.

A story can only appear in latest updates two times per a day. Limit your chapter release to two chapters only, not four. Also add a few hours delays between each updates.
I see! I'll keep the pace for uploading then.
Any other suggestion beside that?

Hello,

I saw your offer in the forum and I'd like to submit my series if you're still accepting.

Title: Magical Exploration in a Fantasy World
Chapters: 3 (numbered)
Tags: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Isekai, Psychological, School Life

No "what to expect" section — just the synopsis and tags as you asked.

The story follows Ciel, a boy reincarnated into a noble family of fire mages. When his magic fails in a spectacular way, he's cast out and must find his own path. It's a slow-burn character study with a focus on internal development and world-building.

I'm aware the pacing is deliberate — that's a choice. But I'm open to hearing if it works or not for a reader like you.

Thanks for offering your time, whether you end up reading or not.

In a noble house where elemental mastery defines both honor and destiny, a young boy named Ciel begins his training in the art of fire.

From an early age, his talent draws attention. Calm, observant, and unusually perceptive, he approaches magic with a discipline that sets him apart from other children of his generation. While others chase brilliance, Ciel seeks understanding. While others celebrate instinct, he refines control.

But in a world where tradition shapes power and reputation is as fragile as flame, excellence can be as dangerous as failure.

As expectations rise and scrutiny intensifies, Ciel finds himself standing at the crossroads between admiration and suspicion. What begins as promise gradually becomes trial, and the warmth of praise gives way to colder realities.

The first arc tells the story of ambition, pressure, and the quiet forging of identity. It is the journey of a child discovering not only the weight of talent, but the cost of standing apart.

In a realm where fire symbolizes both creation and destruction, Ciel must learn what it truly means to endure the heat.
Your synopsis read as if it was written by a politician from East Europe, Latin America, and South-East Asia. It is long, but the only important information it give reader is what you just told me in your post. Too many filler words. For a synopsis, the shorter the better. Most authors limit theirs to 150 words.

The story follows Ciel, a boy reincarnated into a noble family of fire mages. When his magic fails in a spectacular way, he's cast out and must find his own path. It's a slow-burn character study with a focus on internal development and world-building.

That one is much better than than your current synopsis. When writing a synopsis, make sure your already readers know what they are reading on the first paragraph.

Replace your current synopsis with a variation of that like this.
