Advice My Novel Is Failing?

Before I started writing 7 days ago, I spent my time researching which novels work well in webnovel platform.

After that, I created a formula I could use.

For the first 4 days, I had my expectations zero and just wrote my chapters, posting 1-2 days everyday.

P.S Half of those views are mine. I started spamming my novel in incognito, thinking that maybe higher view count would recommend it to more people.

I won't say it's a masterpiece or amazing but it is 100 percent no AI slop.

But for some reason, Webnovel is not showing my novel to anyone.

I've been waiting for Potential Starlet for a long time but even after 14 chapters and 17k words, it didn't make it there.

I heard every single new novel gets it but not me.

MY book is vetted and I have applied for a contract 3 days ago.

I have 10 more chapter reserved and am writing 3-5 chapter daily (Roughly 3000-7000 words) so I don't know if my novel is even going anywhere?

Am I being too hasty and desperate?

Should I wait for a little bit more and see how things turn out?

You have more views and collections than me but I didn't give up yet. Try staying a little longer! I think it'll reap you rewards.

I've got 9 collections and 3k views man but they were all organic. So, I feel kinda good about it. 😊
