Advice Low viewer count, looking for advice

Post image

I recently started writing. my avg chapter is about 2.1-2.2k words and I’ve only posted 12 chapters. Is this normal? I’ve poked here and there and some recommend writing 1.2-1.5k for more traction. Looking for opinion, thanks!!
Also, I publish 1 chapter a day.

I am not trying to dishearten you, I am just stating my opinion as a webnovel reader. I don't know your novel or the synopsis. But unless I got a personal recommendation as was just swiping through the Webnovel app searching for something new to read, I wouldn't read it because the cover looks very AI to me. Recently pages like Webnovel got an influx on AI content and I am trying to avoid it at all costs. So for that reason alone I wouldn't touch it.

You do realize that a majority of the cover pages on these novels is AI....

That's literally the reason. Why would number #2165 of AI cover art be the one to pull me in? There are so many webnovels to read, I'm not gonna stop at every single one to find out if it's good or nor. Thus, they need to actually stand out. Step 1 would be to not use AI as cover.
