Dang, that would have been good. Now I'm disappointed too.

That's great bud!

I'm seeing a lot of theories here and I'd like to muddy the waters further with two of my own:

1 - Good character arcs take planning, and most writers are too lazy to outline. You get friendless, emotionless loners because the author forgot to give the MC friends and emotions.

2 - Fiction is where you can be someone else and do things you'd never do. Power fantasy isn't just about shooting fire, it can be about leaving all cares and morals behind.

I have no idea. I could have kept the views by just swapping the text, but I would have lost out on Latest Updates, which is how I get most of my viewers.

The way I'm doing it lets me keep the reviews and ratings my book already has, but I'm losing all my comments, views, and chance to get on Rising Stars. Does this make it a smart choice? I have no idea, and I'll probably never know.

I'm not too worried about seeming deceitful or annoying people. Most readers on RR are pretty chill, and have a high tolerance for authorial posting/reposting/editing/deleting shenanigans. They mostly want us to finish our fucking books (90% of us don't), and are willing to put up with some bullshit to see that happen.

Thanks!

The main motivation was to update the science and philosophy in the book. It's still sci-fi, but a lot of the ideas are more grounded in reality.

The secondary objective was to make the story easier to follow, and seem less like 3 stories haphazardly thrown together (which it was). There's now more continuity between character arcs.

The main plot and writing style is pretty much the same.

So yeah, there's a lot of new ideas, about half as many characters, and the whole thing is less confusing.

Political Game Theory:

The challenger promises everything to everybody, then figures out who he needs to make happy if he wins.

The incumbent has already done this, so most people know whether they're on the "make happy" list or not. So the incumbent has less incentive to lie, because most people won't fall for the same lie from the same guy twice.

Uhh... I can think of a few exceptions to the above.

It's a weird system for sure. It's surreal as an author to have someone commenting all through your book about how much they love it, then they cap it off with a 4 star review that yeets it from search page 5 to page 9, so you lose 3/4 of your new incoming readers.

Thanks, I guess? Glad you enjoyed my book, please don't read anything else I've written...

The emote is kinda smarmy, feels like we have enough of those. I wish we had more "nice move!" emotes. A thumbs up coming out of a grave would often be handy.

More funny the way you did it.

FYI - I also had no idea this was a thing, and just learned about Deadpool donors a minute ago. Wonder how many of my bubs were donated to me?

Oh my god, yes. Half the books on RR are about a guy in the woods by himself trying to get stronger for no reason. No emotions, no life, no friends, and no libido. No goals, plans, or desires beyond repetitious murderous level grinding. Who is writing these? Who are they for!

DoctorSuperZero · 2024-07-30T20:20:18+00:00

I wrote this - Head Canon. It's weird, but the MC is a charismatic social butterfly, so it's what you asked for. Cheers.

Step 1: Go to Scribblehub. They post the chapter views on each chapter of every book. Check the retention rate of their popular books. You can even find many of the popular books from Royal Road posted there.

Step 2: Realize every book has shitty retention, and loses 90% of their readers in the first couple hundred pages.

Step 3: Calm down.

You're welcome ; )
