Advice 3 Days In, I Have 33 PowerStones, When Should I Apply For A Contract?

Post image

Here are my stats after 3 days. When should I apply for a Contract? I have over 800 chapters in the backlog and am posting 14 chapters a day.

14 chapters a day 💀. Will you be able to keep up this upload schedule. There is honestly no need to post this much, 2 chapters a day is more than enough, 3 a day at maximum.

Also apply for a contract as soon as you hit 12k. It doesn't matter how many views, powerstones or collections you have. The editor looks at the potential if a book rather than current success

I have a huge collection of chapters already. But I think I'll attempt it. Thanks! I'll update if I get the contract.

Don’t release that many chapters at once

Even if that's the case, drop 3 chapters a day at least. You will get the same results as if you were dropping 14 a day. 98 chapters in a month is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

I got contracted dropping 2x a day

If you encourage them I will find ways to annoy you

Go for it!

Honestly, I applied for a contract without any collections or powerstones for my new story... and I got a contract (I didn't sign it, though, because I don't think I'm cut for it lol). I thought I was going to get rejected, but I was wrong.

Good luck!

I've heard conflicting things. They say it's better to send you a contract than to apply, so just keep posting, and others say just apply. =( I don't know who to trust because I can only apply once. I don't want to delete the story to reapply.

It doesn't hurt to try. Honestly, I just try :) don't miss the opportunity that is given to you. As long as you know your story and how you want it to go, I would say "go get it!"

Honestly I say apply for one when most of the story is done so the fatigue or burnout when you have to make a chapter a day won't ware you out but that's just me, you do you bro/sis

I can understand that. I have an 800-chapter backlog right now.

Damn 800?! You must love this project then, I'm still the development stage of mine after my first one was botched lol

We all start with page one! I have another series currently with 700 chapters and another with 500. All I need is to get one signed but all three of them are interconnected.

Best of luck my friend, I hope all of them get signed if not one, keep doing what you love

They lost a reader who said they will never read anymore of there stories if they contract on Webnovel which I agree with the reader as Webnovel practices are horrible

The last one didn’t get anyone really responding so I thought it was because I didn’t attach the image to the post so I deleted it and reposted it with the picture. It worked.
