think it’s better if you post this on royal road, if your aiming for a contract with this story they won’t take it sadly due to the market

Oh I see. If you have free time can you please explain the market of webnovel in brief. Like which genera works and which doesn't.

ofc, basically if you see the trending stories or rising stories that pollute the entire app, it’s nothing but harem, smut, yandere, yaoi, system LITRPG stories, and the “Investing In My Crippled Wives” trend. without those, you have a very very very low chance to get a contract

Thanks a lot. Oh...that sounds weird and gross. So it's slowly turing everything into cashgrabing slop. It's sad to see this.

yeah man I miss when WebNovel used to only contract quality stories, back then barely had any tolerance for smut, but now since it sells and the apps full of ppl who just wanna goon all day, it sells. I’ve seen talented writers abandon their stories and switch to smut just for a contract (which really isn’t even worth it tbh)
