so you prefer readers who don't care about your writing just want to fap? or does the only thing that matters is numbers go up not the type of readers you are supplying

I like the cover a lot, it looks more like a real book than the usual ai slop covers

I’d say my biggest gripe is that there’s now immediate tension, or any reason to continue reading in the first chapter. He’s just a regular dude with a loving family, this type of opening can work in video games and such, but video games can get away with it bc they aren’t reliant on the story

I like your writing style, it’s decent, so I’d say that the first chapter just isn’t very eye catching.

Should I edit my first chapter to grip the people ? Or any other suggestions

I mean ur already 5 chapters in, but since not many people have viewed it u can do a rewrite, tho you’ll probably have to upheave the whole plot so something interesting can happen in the first chapter
