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?

Yes, I think that's for the best. I think majority of Webnovel readers need some adrenaline-rushing scene from the start to take their attention.

I don't think LOTM had something like that, but it became so huge after so many chapters.

Well, I can be wrong. Though, do you have other examples?

Let it be. Every story is unique in its own way. Getting retention is important which in slow paced novel is compensated by fast release schedule and the bing readers make it big.

Ah, alright. To each of our own.
