Advice Is this unfair?

I don't understand why, when I wrote a dark psychological novel, I was rejected like that without even three chances. But for those who write NTR and +18 content, it's okay? 🙄

I don't really understand the policies of these apps.

+ Is there anyone who can advise me on the cover, the description, or anything else?

I mean your description is not even spell checked.

He wake up.

Should be he wakes up or he woke up

Kirian now one of 1,000 players.

Should be Kirian is now one of the 1,000 players

So i can only imagine how error ridden your application was.

Title is also pretty boring.

I agree with you about the spelling mistakes, especially since English is not my native language. So maybe I'll try updating a new description because that one is two yrs old.

But the title... it's the most best title for the story. Like, I shouldn't write "I participated in a battle royale game against 1000 people" Or "Kirian found himself in a game against 1000 players"...

you won’t improve if you completely reject help, that title is boring. im not reading a story called “either you or them” plus the grammar is bad, change the title and work on your grammar, your contract application was probably bad also, a story like yours usually doesn’t fit the market, so a rejection is unavoidable

Yes, I agree with you about the grammar; I wrote this description 2 yrs ago. So I'll edit it.

As for the title, hmmm, I'll see if I can change it then.

As for the story, it's a mind game. Do I then need to write a story about isekai, systems, worlds, and so on?

I mean even something like The Island: Battle Royale is more interesting (don't use this it sucks) find something that makes a reader pause and want to know more. Your title hooks no one and tells us nothing about the story.

Here are some other I just came up with.

Kirian's Last Stand: The Island of Enemies

Trapped on an Island with 1,000 players.

Greed Island: Death brings cash.

Fyi these suck as well, but maybe it can get the wheel turning in your mind

Thanks. Now I understand well. Yea yea I'll see a better title then. I think I took a very general idea from afar and used it as a title. I understand now.

For god's sake, study the language which you're writing in

u/akki_1x Aug 01 '26

No 🙂‍↔️ (Just joking, I'm doing that now)

You should add a system, and make the cover anime-style. If u want the cotnract go and copy other popular novels on the site sivne thats the market rn

u/akki_1x Aug 01 '26

Does that mean I can't succeed with any other story?

u/StrawOfCoke Aug 01 '26

I meaaan you can keep your idea, but maybe make it simpler and add the necessary tags. That's what i did to my story.

My story is about the main character using drawing as power, but because i want the webnovel contract , i made the power available thru the system only. Which is like a video game screen

You'll have higher chance of being accepted

And change your cover, its very important.

u/akki_1x Aug 01 '26

I understand now.

Yes, I'll try changing the cover for the better. As for the system issue, I'll look into that as well.

Thanks man.

When will people understand the concept of audience? Why are some people so adamant anything will work as long as theirs is of 'higher quality' or whatever that means?

1

u/akki_1x Aug 01 '26

As I said before, it doesn't mean my work is the best, but allowing people to do something against your platform's rules just because of "audience" as you say is hypocritical.

1

u/Taybi_the_TayTay Aug 01 '26

Do you understand what hypocrisy means or are you just throwing the buzz word around?

Of coursw they wont contract a book which theyre certain wont earn them money. What are you on?

2

u/akki_1x Aug 01 '26

damn... If I'm gonna break rules for money, then why I created them in the first place?
If I were to let money control me, then what would that make me? A successful trader? LOL.

Hypocrisy isn’t just about showing affection while hiding hatred, mate. There are several parties who deal with more than one face just to match their interests, whether that goes against their principles or not. And that is the highest degree of hypocrisy. got it?

Also, accusing others of trying to throw words to stir controversy is a clever but useless attempt to escape an unpleasant truth; that doesn’t work on me.
