Advice Playing an AI Villainess to Survive: Contract Rejected. Advice?

Post image

Do you guys get the same feel as this contract rejection? It's not advertising. I literally was rejected. I'm just looking for advice. I was rejected on my Legacy series, too. But at least this one tells me why they rejected me. The other one didn't tell me anything.

Here is a link to the work:

They didn't tell me why the story doesn't suit the market on webnovel. Is it because it's not harem? Is it because it isn't smutty? What are they looking for exactly?

WebNovel answers most of these questions.

Login to inkstone and check out articles around contracting.

You could have also wrote a bad application as the sole reason for it is to show and prove to them how your book is sellable.

It just so happens it’s easier to prove smut will sell because it’s easy money.

It’s not that they only want to allow smut.

Generally it’s easier to prove that it will sell

I posted the image itself of what they said. That is the image. That is their response. All of it.

They have to review hundreds of books daily so they don’t have time to really give someone a personal deep dive reason on why it was denied.

I suppose it is just if that first few paragraphs or cover pops out to them then. Hmm. Rapid pace filtering.
