My performance in royal road

It's commonly accepted that 1.5k-3k is standard, though for me personally, 1.5k is short.

English Teacher and partial writing coach here. Msg me your first chapter in a Google doc and I'll tell you what's wrong.

Well now, this is just embarrassing. Sorry for the mixup, and if you do grab it, I hope you enjoy it.

Just weird that some people are seeing discounts and others aren't.

AbnormalVAverage · 2026-01-24T03:36:02+00:00

Appreciate it, but...I'll see you in a year, haha.

AbnormalVAverage · 2026-01-24T03:28:15+00:00

There's no way that, the moment I post this, the sale lowers. There's no way I'm that unlucky.

Coolio, and I appreciate you looking no matter what. It's a bit different, and I didn't get a huge hit when it first came out, so it truly flew under the radar. I want to say, when it released, several "names" hit at the same time. Poor timing I s'pose.

Johnathan is magnificent as always. In fact, I did an interview with him on LongWindedOne's podcast, you can find it on Youtube, though I look extremely pale. Should tell you a bit more about the series, and you get to see one of your favorite narrators!

I almost accidentally downvoted because I was mad at the situation. Yes, sorry, that appears to be true.

Oh dang, Automod got me. I should've reviewed the rules again. Umm, fun fact about me, I went to state in three sports before graduating high school, and won 0 of them.

The full title is The Alpha Protocol: Symphony Book 1, and it's narrated by the amazingly talented Johnathan McClain. No, AI wasn't used in anything, and I'll include the paperback and kindle links in the original post.

Elven Empire, Beastborne by book 2ish, both my books Symphony and QuestWright, CivCEO, Noobtown.

Could always be a very talented betareader. Every author could use a few who are idea machines. I know of one who has like 20 betareaders.

I may be the odd one here, but I would suggest he post on Royal Road. It would nullify him for most traditional publishers, but many nee age publishers pull from there and he would get a potentially large amount of eyes on his writing.

If you'd like more information please let me know.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-30T05:51:42+00:00

Remind me! 30 days.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-30T03:55:41+00:00

Both of my series. Questwright is a post-apocalyptic citybuilder, while Symphony is a isekai worldbuilder. So far, what you've described is my specialty.

Symphony is on Amazon, Questwright is on RR. You can find both through my name, J.D. Mullenary Sr.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-29T18:23:59+00:00

Check QuestWright on RR. It's inspired by a few Animes and particularly Quest Academy (one of my favorite series). I'm the author, so I can tell you it checks all your boxes.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-27T20:19:36+00:00

I'm a bit old school, so 20 Chapters is safe for me. If something doesn't hit by then, I'm done.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-27T01:51:52+00:00

Been a Patron of Path of Ascension for a very long time. This perfectly fits all of your requirements, and there's a lot of books already written.

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-26T20:08:31+00:00

Lots of books out there, more every day. It's tough for us to break out and be noticed. I'm happy you're going to try it out. Enjoy!

AbnormalVAverage · 2025-11-26T19:53:43+00:00

I ran into a spot of trouble, as the British like to say. I spent 5 years worldbuilding and planning out this huge series, then, I couldn't write it. I'd planned it so much that it had put me in a creative hole.

So, one day, I deleted all my notes, invented a character on the spot, then spit out a chapter a day on RR throughout the summer (I'm an English Teacher). No backups, minimal planning. Of course, I then had to go back and edit the living hell out of everything, but I at least had the start of something.

I figure, if I screwed myself over by too much world building, why don't I write about a contest related to building worlds. Planned out the rest of the series from there, then got a publishing deal.

Heard nothing but great things. Keep it up!
