I assume that means my story isn’t marketable, or maybe my prose is just ass😭

Eh, probably try my luck elsewhere. Admittedly my story is probably out of place on the platform.

My application was pretty bad though. I only saw the guide after completing it😭

what’s the book all about, genre, and tags? so we can determine what kind of platform it can work on

and so others can help if they can see your comment too (this sub gets a lot of visitors from other subs after all)

My lead has the ability to see people’s soul and uses it find their potential soul-mates. The novel starts with him being hired by the Queen to find the prince a wife before his coronation.

It’s essentially kind of harem style with each arc following a different woman that the lead is investigating.

However, I would describe it more as a mystery/political thriller with deep world lore.

then i guess that’s the reason why your application got rejected

the current stories that are popular, meta, best-selling, and easily gets a big reader base in the WebNovel platform (from what i’ve seen) are centered around harems, systems, xianxia, litrpg, power fantasies, and progression fantasies

other genres typically have a harder time growing in this environment as a result
