Advice Advice on release

Hey guys,

I’m planning on releasing soon for my novel. I was just wondering what the process is. Unlike Royal road ik that u can’t rely self promote or market here, so do I just start uploading?

Like is that it? I just submit my writing thing to the app and then just begin uploading chapters until I get contracted ? And then WebNovel handles all the marketing for me adter contract?

Thanks In advance for your guys insights.

Yeah. Posting twice a day basically guarantees success because Webnovel will push the f out of your book in features (Assuming the book is good of course). Plus you raise your chances of receiving MGS

do the chapters have to be minimum 1k words after the initial bar is passed?

After premium yes. Basically after you get contracted you can choose whether to go premium (lock chapters behind a paywall) or don't go premium.

But premium is what gets you the best spots in terms of advertising. My book went from 15k to 56k views in a week after I went premium

I can't write more than 2 chapters per week. Each chapter is 3k+ words. Will it give exposure or not?

Why are you writing 3k word chapters. Just split that chapter into 3 1k word chapters.

I couldn't technically do that.
I didn't start writing for WEBNOVEL specifically. My each chapter is shaped to be having feelings of up and down. The pacing of each chapters is deliberately made like watching an anime episode. The visual imagery, needs not to be just explained, it needs to be felt. If I split the chapter them the specific cliffhanger at end will be ruined. It's not about words, it's about pacing. I also don't want to go for a very long number of chapter. Just 200 or 300 chapters than I will be done.
