What I have to say is not only unhelpful, it's on the low-to-medium end of hostility. That's my intent here. Learn from it.

Three threads, same day, all seeking shameless attention.

You've attracted our attention.

Quite a few are good suggestions here and there on the other two threads. Kudos to them!

Although, I see others are calling you out for being a fraud. I'm not going that far, but I can see specifically in the structure of your novel why they'd say that.

Then there are those piping up to simply reject reading your novel. Um... okay. I ain't that hostile.

But I'm genuinely curious how you imagined drawing up three threads would've resulted before seeing the reality. Like, what did you expect differently from our responses?

Claiming your novel is the best, is a dead giveaway it's going to be mediocre at best.
Your concept is not new and innovative either, and neither is it fresh and unique.
You still have only five chapters. Common breakpoints are 10/20/50/100.
That said, disappearing for months after posting just three chapters does not inspire confidence in you finishing the story either.
You posted three threads on the same topic in a quick succession, just to get some attention. People don't take kindly to that.
Your grammar sucks in each of them, in stark contrast to your summary, which in combination to how the summary is written more or less confirms you used AI to write it. We hate AI slop here.

Which kind of NTR ??

Netorare is actually damn famous here, it gets a lot of readers and attention very quickly… doesn’t help when authors with talent that put out a mask of righteousness are closet cucks tryna explore their fetishises. They keep feeding the culture.

NTR is still niche, I think. What makes them look popular is that NTR authors seem to be having an agreement to post chapters at a certain time together. You get at least a day per week where one or even two pages of Latest Updates are hogged by them without a gap.

You’re an idiot. You’ve posted five chapters of ONE story you aren’t Tolkien. Especially since you posted three a few months ago and two within the last few days. You need consistent uploads to generate readers. Also a lot of longtime and consistent users of Scribblehub don’t start reading stories unless their at least 50 chapters long because that means the artist is sticking to the story and will most likely continue writing for a while. my suggestion if you want to get readers? Write a large number of chapters I’m thinking at least 25-30 to start then start posting one chapter a day until you reach Ch 50 then you can reduce it to one chapter every few days until you build up a stable reader base. However I would recommend keeping the uploads a little more consistent.

Then you can post once a week if you want but unless you have over 500 readers I don’t recommend that and unless you have over thousand I would keep to that once a week thing unless you want people to stop reading. One of my favorite authors writes three stories but posts each one at an interval of a month and does a mass release of several chapters for each story. He has over a thousand readers for each story.

If you want your story to get more notice get the readers you cultivate to heart the story and leave ratings and reviews. The higher the readers likes rating and views the higher the story rises on the tag listings and the more people see it if they look at the tag rankings for something new to read.

Basically this is a marathon not a sprint if you aren’t prepared for the long haul either stop writing or write a LOT more. Good luck.

You meant like you must upload the chapters within a week like me who upload the new chapters on Monday and Frieday

The problem is quite simple, your novel is one in a vast sea of other people's works, you gotta make your novel stand out more.

ScribbleHub's audience is mostly silent, unless they wanna prove something wrong, or would spam....

So story comments mostly a place to argue... that's a bummer but good to know

Well, if you manage to attract readers who think they are smarter than the author, then yes, it'll be a senseless argument-filled place. Otherwise, it's just a silent part of your chapter.

So true, what is there to say, really

It happens. The funny thing is that those readers sometimes can't read the story's synopsis and genres making the entire argument stupid.

Do comments and favorites help with the visibility of the story in any way?

I've done ok with ~ 21 average reads in the first week. Just trying to understand how certain books do well. Is it working with the tags and genre?

They don't. Latest updates will be where you get most of your visibility from and it only shows the title, cover page, genres, and the latest chapter. It don't show the number of comments, favorites, reviews, or ratings.

Certain books do well because they have a good packaging. Try not to have a generic title, cover page, and synopsis.

 

[Cookiez_N_Potionz]

It just might take time, especially, if it's not a popular genre like LitRPG or smut

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

I'd like to point out that most experienced authors already know what they are writing about that it's moot for these peeps to argue.

Like what I always say, "My world. My setting. My rules."

Hay dos excepciones al menos en mi opinión.
Caso 1. Encuesta o votación o la historia te vende de que puedes influir en este, uno de los obvios, es una historia de un "cancer" planetario, y los lectores somos voces en su cabeza xd

2 Caso. El autor explica porque hizo lo que hizo, algunas veces sale, otras no, pero una de las historias que mejor le hace (que al menos yo encontré), es Naruto: The Chosen Undead

This post was written in an unknown language, which I translated to English using my Google Translate extension. So I'm not sure if the meaning came across perfectly, but which story is this, Naruto: The Chosen Undead? There is no concept of Undead in the Naruto Verse; there is only the reanimation jutsu. I don't think anyone will call that Undead cuz Undead is primarily a European fantasy concept/setting.

Check Royal Roads. It's there.

Also, the fella mentioned a second story about planetary cancer. I'm curious what that one is about.

For those who don't want to use translators:

Encuesta o votación o la historia: Used voting in the past. Easy to see "Encuesta" sounds like "Enounce" and "o votación" looks like "on voting" and "o la historia" looks like "on/in the past". I don't speak Spanish, but Latin has infected many Western languages, and it is easy for me to figure out what they were saying just by skimming it. It's a nice, fun challenge. Try it out.

It's currently one of the best ongoing Naruto fanfiction on the internet by @Adamos_Amet where Naruto becomes a Chosen Undead and walks between Konoha and Lordran.

If you don't know what it is you either don't read fanfictions or the fanfictions you read are AI slops and stolen translations.

Also check everything crossposted from SpaceBattles, everything from there is top-tier. To be a good author, you need to read good books.

Sip acertaste, aunque se ingles, me gana el ancia???, pero ya ni modo, aunque la del cáncer al menos lo encontré aquí en scribble, se llama. "This fantasy world is infected with Cancer (interactive novel)", imagínate esa cosa del omastar dios pero en vez de juego, en novela

Thank you. I'll check it out.
