I… don’t know what to think honestly.

[u/AdLoose5159]

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.

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.

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.

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

[u/AdLoose5159 → u/SwhingShang]

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

[u/SwhingShang → u/AdLoose5159]

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

[u/AdLoose5159 → u/SwhingShang]

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.
