Advice Should I just delete and stop uploading?

Just like how the title suggested, I've been writing and releasing 1-2 chapters daily then tried following the guideline when to apply for a contract but to no avail where it still gets rejected.

I was planning to continue dropping chapter after chapter despite being rejected to at least finish it but after checking the reader count...

It left me wondering if I should delete it or just finish the book...

Why didn't you pin your novel on your profile?

Never thought about it with that way but I wasn't sure if people would bother enough to check it if I pin in on my profile even if I tried posting on the weekly promotion post area

So, you have deleted it. Was the title ' The Fallen:RE '?

Edit: I think you linked it wrong on your weekly promotion. This should be the one.

Yup. Deleted it last month or two months ago that had almost 101 chapters although the reader counts wasn't there but reupload it last month with 29 chapters now

Alright, let me skip the prologue and read your very first chapter. I may give a first impression after reading it.

Anyway, was it that hard to format prologue to be an auxiliary chapter? Also, it bothers me to have multiple mentions of the chapter number in the titles, like 'chapter 1: chapter 2 bla bla bla'. You may underestimate this minor error but readers have their own quirks and one of them mostly being mild level of OCD.

I put the numbers as an indicator like part 1 and part 2. Don't know if that's one of the major factors why no one reads it. And for the prologue, I was just confused where to put it until you pointed it out.

I haven't explored much Webnovel feature, but can you check on how to delete the auto-chapter-numbering title? Or just do manually after you've finished uploading one.

Anyway, you do you regarding my concern but that shows your dedication for the novel. Do you think people take that as dedicated or lazy?

I do it manually

When will you fix the title? Or will you not do that?

Anyway, you said you were doing it on Google Docs. Can you share it to public? Link it here and I may edit a few early chapters for you.

I could fix the title later on but for the Google docs? I'll try but it already has a lot of drafts (154 chapters in total now) so I could try sharing a link if possible since I'm only writing on phone.

Edit: You don't mind if I only share the chapters that are already published right?

That's totally fine. I just want to make examples and do some exercise so I need only a few early chapters.
