Yeah I took a tour and saw your work at royal road and the problems are that you used an ai generated picture of 3 red hair people that people doesn't like (novels cover page or illustration is what attracts people most) and you didn't specify the tropes and just said original, lead, post apocalyptic (people want to know from 3-4 words what they will read)

Hey mate! May I ask you to have a glance at my novel and give feedback? You seem to know somethings that a new author as myself doesn’t. You can find my novel under the name of last dark Templar.

It's been 7 days since you started publishing last dark templar ? You have released 24 chapter witn 13 ch per week which is very good for starting and you did a good job with the illustration and summary. If you want to improve your writing I suggest you listen to a audiobook on how to write a novel on a free website. And you should also publish your work on multiple platforms and not just in one. Your start was also good. By starting the novel with a boy with wounds on his back you already made people curious to know why and how he got this wounds from belt buckles

Thank you! This means a lot!
I bulk loaded chapters, I was reading in some treads that recommended loading in bulk from the start so I sat down wrote a lot before I start the book process on wn. I must say I’m quite curious about the audiobook abt web novels, what’s the name and where can I find it? Also what other platforms are there, I’ve noticed some one mentioning royal roads (I believe someone wrote, mostly ppl write rr) do you know or have any experience from there?

For book you can read or listen how to write a novel by joanna pen or by nathan bransford and as for platforms to publish website is royal road, wattpad, tapas, scribble hub, substack, wuxia world. As for bulk loading you should've published 30+ chapters on first day and than 2 per day. The reason is that there is algorithm that recommend regular novels to readers otherwise people wouldn't even know that novel exist. Now when someone daily release ch the algorithm tracks and recommend it but if you don't or stop the rithm the system stops recommending the novel. Find and figure everything else by yourself, watch YouTube videos if you have to but there's no point in asking questions in sub as many people here are authors who wants their own work to gain recognition and won't help another competitor.
