What's The Best Time To Post Chapters?

[Arachis]

With readers around the world, there is no best time for all of them. For a while I was trying to release each chapter at a different time of day, in hopes of catching the eyes of folks in different time zones. Have no idea whether it actually worked.

It really depends on your audience. I find that the American West Coast, after dinner, or right after school, is when I get the most views, but in the mornings is when I get actual feedback.

Of course, no one ever bothers rating books anymore, so I am personally getting disillusioned with he lazy %%%%% that read online. I just post 'em here to hopefully get a modicum of feedback before I do my final re-write and put them on Amazon. At least there, the appreciation is obvious. Here? Few people bother to even expend the two seconds of effort to push a rating button after you have entertained them for a solid week.

Well I been publishing a chapter every time I get moved to the second page in "updates" for a week. (at least 7-10 chapters a day). Not much luck I am afraid, the tipe of story has a lot to do with the public interest... too bad I cant write, romance, smut and all that stuff.

You might also be on the other side of the scale, in the "too frequent releases" category. At least for me, ~10 releases a day are a huge red flag, especially when it's maintained over longer period. It usually marks the author purging their stockpile, which rarely lasts more than a couple of days, too short chapters to be enjoyable, and/or AI-written stories/MTL, both of which have low quality as their trademark.

Makes sense, is an already finished story, shorter chapter is 1800 words, longest is 9000 words, 76 chapters. and I never use AI for anything. I hate those things. But the reader does not knows that. I get your point.
Personally I never publish anything that is unfinished or at least the hard draft is fully finished, all flexed out, all i need is clean up mistakes, solve any plot holes and other few stuff, but 80% of the work must be already done before I publish.
Hummm... I will make that known on my profile. Thanks.
