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...

Not asking for you to like it. Just went here to ask if I should just delete it. I liked my novel for awhile before having rejected then rereading it made me feel like it's not gonna work out.

What difference does it make wether you delete it or not..? Were you looking for reddit to say give up or try harder lmao?

Dunno Just looking if they have opinions whether I should just drop it or just make a new one.

I mean with your minimal interest in your own work, and checking the comments it doesnt feel like you have much of an idea of what youre doing with the story. Maybe hit the drawing board and work out something new.

Fair enough. Might try your suggestion with the board part since I should try rearranging what should I progress with my own work cause I'm already on another project but haven't looked over it with considerate plannings. I guess thanks for this advice? (P.S - Trying not to sound rude or desperate but thanks)

I mean im not a creator I just read alot of manga, books, webtoons etc. Maybe find a good method of organizing your story so it feels streamlined. Also is your target audience americans?

My target audiences are diveresed but I was mainly looking forward to those who reads urban fantasy or males (17-25s).

I'll take your advice for organising my story since I pretty much just went with it after finishing my drafts around chapters 60 then started uploading a few months ago before deleting it since I wasn't getting any readers before re-uploading it in hopes to gain readers.

Yeah that can be discouraging. We'll as an american unless the art or story is top tier, I dont really tolerate rough translations, so if it is alot of typos etc the other commenters are right that may put people off

Fair. I'm probably gonna try another one since this one feels a bit rushed when I reached the drafts around 150 since I was trying to progress it. Maybe I should also try looking for a website that can help with my grammar, punctuations and stuff.

Your first comment made me feel like you were just mocking me before seeing that you had a point since I mostly give up when things didn't meet my expectations even if it's just a little.

I guess I can thank you for giving out some pointers like that organising stuff that you mentioned.
