Did you just post it? It'll probably take some time to accumulate views. Just be consistent and don't lose hope.

Dude, the problem lies in your assumptions. You consider your fiction the best... for some readers, the obvious promise and cringe seem terrible.

This may be harsh, but a good (not the best) novel is one that can touch the reader's emotions—even without the author claiming it's a masterpiece.

With the habit of works being abandoned early on, a lot of folks don't start something until a large enough backlog is built up, sort of as a sign of "this won't be randomly deleted and the author ghosts the site.". It's not fun to start something only to see it was deleted a week later without a reason given.

Otherwise, patience. It's not a race. You can take your time.

I learned that writing smaller chunks of my large story helps. The engagement has definitely been longer now. Aiming to keep in the Latest Updates list on the homepage until a critical mass is reached.

I think your story is missing tags, specially Xianxia since I see Qi, immortality, and cultivation, I believe the tag could help you if your story does embrace the genre.

And you got, 200+ views, 4 favorites in 5 chapters already which is a good start I'd say!

But you might be missing out on discoverability by not adding tags.

Also it helps to number your chapters while also adding a title to each of them!

Good luck on your journey!

I think what you're looking for is reader interaction. ScribbleHub's audience is mostly silent, unless they wanna prove something wrong, or would spam "Thank you for the chapter" comments to boost novel popularity or simply thank the author. The second example is quite rare.

Not to mention, your work is only 5 chapters in. Readers are wary of authors writing exciting stuff only to leave it halfway, so they won't pick it up unless it accumulated a decent amount of chapters, the number of which depends on the person.

Three things.
1. As stated before, many readers don't start a novel till they think it's likely to be written to completion. Often 15+ chapters.

2. You wrote three chapters in October, then nothing till recently. Ain't many willing to give that a shot.

3. CN type cultivation novels are very often misses, so many get dropped rather quickly. I've been.

Looking at the statistics, there are only 6000 words. Don't get impatient and just keep writing. Readers will come as you accumulate more chapters.

No tags and no consistent uploads (went two whole months with no uploads). How were you expecting people to find it in the first place?

I’ll be honest. I won’t lie to you. Usually people on this site like smut, reverse world, ntr… all of those stuff. That’s why you aren’t getting readers or views. If you want to write a genuine novel, forget it or keep piling until it finally gets recognised here but that will take time and consistent effort. Other than that your novel is a xianxia genre… there are too many novels of that genre already. People associate xianxia with boring same tropes usually.

Your first chapters do not have names. Name them. Your work is also created by AI. I can easily recognize that because your single sentence here is quite flawed....

I really don't want to be a grammar ****, but you really need to work on improving your writing. Maybe download Grammarly?

Is your novel a translation? Did you use AI to translate it?

The message in your profile on SH is also extremely flawed. Anyone reading it will probably not be interested in your story:

Hello Everyone.I have been Reading Novels since i was a kid.I Love Novels becaue they help us think out of the Box.I also want to write novels and some out of the box thinking Novels but i want to start with a Typical Cultivation Novel.Wit this Novel you will experience alot.I need a little motivation from your side to write it down as it is just in my head.Thank you.

Youre using the word cultivation 9 times in your simmary.
Try to use synonyms.
Also, it always kinda pushes me away, when someone is labeled as Genius. Id like a more humble approach. Like, beimg a Genius is fine, but let the reader decide it and dont just be like - yeah, hes a downright Genius.
