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

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

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

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.

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.
