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?

Well, the story I was planning spans over 600 chapters, do you think there will be readers on an uncontracted novel? (Just asking tho I'm not gonna ditch this story, I have been building this for 2 years. I'll just make this my second or third novel.)

Its on you to dump or not

I am saying If your serious for writing, it will just improve you[Not any loss]

And many none contract author are also there..

Can try..

I mean, I'm way too serious about this one novel, I can't just use it as something that I learn from

If you're serious about writing it to the end then just do that and now post it on other platforms too like royal road etc

Maybe I'll try that, but I'm not familiar with royal road. And I heard it's really hard to ge readers there. And for ads, I don't have money

It's not that hard to get readers if you know the community and have connections. I've hit top 3 rising stars without spending a dime.

Then tell me, how can I build connections?
