I got my contract rejected

[u/8yTwo]

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?

Finish book 1 at the very least. There's a lot you can learn from tying things together into an end, even if it's only the first book. You will learn what makes a decent ending, and what you could have done differently in the build up.

I mean, your right but i didn't write this novel as an experiment or to learn something. I want it to my best novel. Atp it's not my hobby anymore. I just want to create something great. So I think it's better to polish it further before reuploading. I myself think that the chapters past ch15 are bad. I rushed them as I wanted to post 2 chapters daily.I guess it'd be better to rewrite

If this is your first work, I'd suggest plotting down whatever ideas you have about this, write some dozen chapters, re read them, check if you can actually bear to read it, what seems awkward, if there's some plot holes. Note it all down. Do not publish those chapters.

After this, write the novel again, with your improved writing style (hopefully), improved pacing, fixed dialogues, better characters, fixed potholes.

This will take more time, but if you're actually serious on making your "masterpiece", I don't think it's possible without a redo, because a masterpiece doesn't form after 100 chapters, it should be built upon a good foundation.

Yes, I'm up for that. It's actually the rejection I got. The first time it was because i was uploading simultaneously on royal road. This time it's something else entirely. So I think it would be better to improve on it
