I do it constantly, editing is a lifestyle lol

What was the good watt pad group?

That’s an amazing accomplishment! Due to some reason I can’t seem to get past 4.5 or 4.6. Every time I do and can creep past 2k I get bombed again. Cest le vie

I think what you may be experiencing is also genre fatigue. I think there is truth in that authors are usually pretty bad at explaining what’s good about their book. Hell, sometimes they aren’t even good at telling you what the book is actually ABOUT. They start with one premise but you read the book and it’s obviously a completely different gimmick and vibe within ten chapters. This is NOT a RR exclusive or even web fiction exclusive problem either I don’t think. This is about setting expectations and meeting them I think mostly.

That’s wonderful!! Congratulations!!

It’s stupid easy to publish on Royal Road, just make sure you get your cover to be the right dimensions.

Yeah I agree, getting slammed with a .5 just feels bad. People want to know they aren’t as bad as they feel. I think that’s normal. Disallowing these to be secret marketing is fine if we think that’s an issue. I mostly don’t think that’s what’s going on. I think people are sad they got bad reviews and want to talk about it.

You’re doing the lord’s work

It is. I would be lying if I said I didn’t wonder what my ranking would be without trolls trolling. However, on the flip side, I’ve still managed to inspire way, way, more positive feedback. Getting hung up on the dude that hates your stuff is just a waste of time I’ve come to find. They are lashing out for whatever reason, it really isn’t a reflection on you, I don’t think.

Basically happens to me every time I’m ranked above 2k. I think there is just a segment of the population that won’t vibe with your story and feel the need to be salty for whatever reason.

“I’m tired”

“Me too bro”

That’s fascinating, and that makes total sense. Forty chapters would roughly be the length of one novel. 120 a trilogy and so on. So stories falling apart when they get past those marks makes a lot of sense. I added a section in my what to expect based on this, to reassure my readers that this series has an ending and will be four books, no more, no less.

That’s so interesting!! Is that common in your experience?

Yeah, this review is garbage. They don’t give you any specific issues, this can just be ignored to the best of your ability!

Honestly take a walk or go get some food, shift your focus. You aren’t weak, you’re just very passionate about your story.

I think you missed the point of the movie
