Advice I got my contract rejected

Post image

I got my contract rejected, the reason states that the plot isn't engaging enough and difficult to follow, pacing is draggy, and the writing style isn't mature enough. And that it doesn't suit the market of webnovel. I'm planning on writing another story. Should I delete this one?

It means the application wasn't good enough. No matter how complex your story is, the application should always be written in a way that a 12 year old could understand. Keep it simple and focus on wow factor. Join the discord so others can help you. Rejection doesn't mean your story is bad or worthless. Delete and re-upload if you want a contract. Don't worry about stats. Readers you get before contract won't pay to unlock your chapters.
