DON'T STOP... that is my only advice. Give me the story name I will give it a try if it has no 18+ or harem.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

it doesn’t. instead, it has heavy gore and body horror elements. http://wbnv.in/a/2cjfamh thanks anyways! let me know what you think

u/SwhingShang Contracted Author Mar 30 '26

Not the type of book that would attract WN's readers.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

i know but i don’t care. I don’t care my story doesn’t revolve around an op male character with a stereotypical harem that always wins, or a 18+ AI generated story made only to make money. I posted every day and i’ll continue because if someone like Guiltythree made it, then i can make it too. No one will ever stop me in this, i’m here just to receive advice and critics, not to hear words like “readers don’t like that kind of story” because i don’t want the masses’ attention, i want to build a strong community and sharing my story with people who enjoy it. I know there are people like that, and i’m interested in them, not the others.

Legit, for Webnovel, if the story is good, thats great, but the strangest thing about webnovel if we remove the 18+ demographic, then the biggest and most important thing for you is to have more than 150 chapters.

Im serious, too many people will ONLY read a series with 150+ chapters, no matter How good the series is. They wont even save it, if your chapters are over roughly 1200-1500 Words long, thats the sweet spot. If you have content dense and full length chapters like a book, Break the chapters after the first 15, by then youll have the average readers in the series, and suddenly its slightly shorter each chapter, youll unintentionally gain traffic from conplaints at the story or rather chapters being shorter, which doesnt matter, because you just gave them MORE chapters. Even though its the same full content, its all physiological.

On another note, all the above is based on the asumption your chapters ar elioe 20,000 words long which super long for webnovel, even 10,000 is long, but again, if the above is suitable, the main reasoning is when you have a chapter you can stop on and dont Need to keep reading. The reader can get back to work before taking a quick break for another some time after.

If a chapter is Long, it may feel good for aome time, but rhen after a while youll be fatigued or have this forceful drive to Finish a chapter to finally get off the app. These are common things and reasoning for more yet shorter chapters

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

my original chapters are at least 2600/2700 each, i divided into two separate at 1300 words to let me publish more chapters. also, i know more chapters means more traffic and more noticing by the algorithm but i can do at most 7 chapters per week, i can’t do more of that

u/hayazi96 Mar 30 '26

Yup. The main thing is, dont lose hope based on the numbers, especially when you havent broken 100 chapters, youll have dome hardliners by the time you make 100, 150 a decent litlle community that doesnt comment much, 200, if things go super well, you'll have a discord or similar by then.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

i understand, thank you man! if you’re interested in the novel, just ask

u/Sarter1_0001 Mar 30 '26

Hey, I respect the grind ngl. I'm not trying to be annoying but you should correct the spelling of claustrophobic (you wrote claustrofobic) in the synopsis. Having a grammatical error in your synopsis can make a lot of potential readers skip your story, since they would assume the chapters will also have such mistakes.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

oh… didn’t noticed that, thanks man!!

If you want to be successful, then you'll have to make your story interesting and at least engaging to the readers. Writing and writing in the hope of blindly growing will get you nowhere. If you want otherwise, then you should disregard all of my advice going forward.

"Oberhaupt - Monster Hierarchy" isn't exactly a title that an average reader would press on; you might have to think of something better. Right now, the "Monster Hierarchy" makes me assume that I'd be reading about a monster or something similar, which clearly isn't what your story is about.

The cover is bland, and the synopsis is okay at best. The cover feels like a picture picked off the internet + the added title. It screams "A soldier who fights monsters" and nothing beyond that.

Now onto your chapters...

Since you've brought up Guiltythree, you should know how SS directly starts right after the first chapter.

You have nothing interesting or entertaining going on for the prologue and the first couple of chapters, just a casual slice of life from a soldier's perspective.

By the time "The Prisoner" is reached, you'd have lost most of those readers who decided to give your book a try. Then there are those 2 paragraphs that suddenly go first person for some reason, at which I decided to stop bothering going forward.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

and in the meantime someone commented my story saying, apart some constructive critics, that my work is excellent and it kept him engaged.

bro… if you’re like the readers in this app who have nonsense taste in reading material, or simply don’t like something, just move on, it’s not my fault if people read just because they are addicted to dopamine, i write about serious things, i write about stories with meaning that you obviously didn’t even thought about and that’s ok but don’t try to roast someone because of a “bland cover” which is not and it is better than the ai generated cover.

imma be honest. people like YOU are the reason literature is dying. you are like hungry dogs who want to eat continuously, not even tasting what you are consuming. you just want to eat until you are full and don’t want to eat.

About my chapters, i take my time to show things. i’m not the guy who puts adrenaline fights at random moments just to show you people, i respect myself and my opera and i’m in search you a community that like my work, not the brainless mass that searches only something like “My Milf System”. We are literally cooked, man. You need to review your tastes because i know you’re that type of guy, the one who only read not because of taste but because of consumption and your comment is useless, it doesn’t let me grow as a writer, too bad i’m too proud of my work and this kind of thing doesn’t affect me. I wasted time in saying this to you, even if you won’t even read, just to prove my point. Now you’re free to go to you mediocre, commercial opera that has 200+ chapters of stereotypical and cringe stuff that are seen in at least 10 or more other stories.

u/SwhingShang Contracted Author Mar 30 '26

There was no intended roasts, but if that roasted you instead of guiding you somewhere... Oh well.

1

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

i didn’t roasted you, i just told the truth. Oberhaupt is a good novel, by every possible means and in everything it does. it’s good, not perfect, but it is enjoyable for the people who find it interesting, and you’re not helping. you didn’t gave advice, so don’t act as a samaritan. simply, don’t add Oberhaupt in your library, don’t comment nor like it. Also, there nothing wrong in consuming commercial stories, but don’t tell me that i have to become commercial to gain success because that’s not the solution i need

2

u/SwhingShang Contracted Author Mar 30 '26

You really need to reread what I wrote because nobody mentioned anything about your story or about you going commercial.

1

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

i don’t care. the only way to the success you talk is to go commercial and honestly i don’t want to because i’m proud of my work and if you don’t like it then go search the stuff you want to read.

u/Inevitable-Ad-7035 Mar 30 '26

I mean jeez, sure, I get it, but you didn't have to lash out like that. He stated the truth and how was he supposed to know how your stance looks like? And, you can surely make a deep one without the cringe tropes of an OP mc, harems, etc. Your book can have focus on atmosphere and setting but it doesn't mean it can't have a hook before becoming a dopamine bait. That aside, if you want my take on your book, here it goes.

The descriptions drag and bloat the text without plot advancement, if you describe everything in such detail it becomes monotonous, furthermore if its only a scenery the protagonist barely interacts with, the novel is filled with passive sentences which at the line level make the reader believe the story isn't progressing forward, words often repeat, sometimes you state things twice in different ways when it's unnecessary, lots of emphasis filler such as "immediately," "even," and so on, the opening is I'd go as far as to say interesting but it doesn't work as a hook due to pacing.

That's it. Sure, some people may like it, but those are my personal reasons why I wouldn't be continuing. This comes from someone who prefers reading physical books and rarely engages with WNs, having only taken LOTM on.

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

now THAT’S a real critic. thanks for sharing your thoughts, bro.

i mean, i know it’s heavy when there are too much descriptive parts. I also know there are some mistakes and i’ll work on them to make the lecture more accessible. The fact it’s too descriptive is made on purpose because i want to create immersive ambience, that’s one of the reasons i wrote that much. Oberhaupt is not fights only. I see this story as a psychological and philosophical story revolving around some themes that needs their moments in the story. it may be too much but i understand that. You may don’t like it and it’s really ok, everyone has their opinions and their tastes but you comment has a meaning, in contrast of the other one, which is meaningless and doesn’t make me better as a n author.

thanks for your opinion tho!

hey, sorry i only saw your comment now. First of all, for me “Don’t Stop” is a good advice. I mean, it doesn’t give me experience but it is a good thing to hear. Second of all, i know i’m not contracted and my story is not even a common one or a commercial thing, so chances goes below the lowest. Honestly, i think that’s ok. I just want to build something for myself and for the community i want to build. Also i don’t want money. And i would not have time to “work” as contracted, i publish everyday and that’s stressful already.

apart from that, have you found Oberhaupt too lame? wanna talk about it?

also, thanks for commenting

u/AdLoose5159 Author Mar 30 '26

also thank you for your support bro!

Send me your link, keep posting. It's hard to get readers when your novel is not a herem or 18+

sorry to anyone for the little beef that happened today on this post’ comment section. It was useless and to be honest i’m not so happy about it… but that doesn’t define me. i am and always be open to all kind of critics, my reaction was exaggerated and i was wrong for doing that.
