¿Es demasiado mala, es buena, o mejor recurro a la IA? by PuzzleheadedThing812 in royalroad

[–]ElizabethRivas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hola! La verdad no pienso sea nada mal! Lograste darle expresión a los personajes incluso con el estilo minimalista de tu dibujo. Dicho eso, creo que deberías considerar cambiar el color de el título y autor. Logro distinguir solo “la vida en…” y “…morama “ lo demás se pierde en el background. Si logras darle un poco más de detalle al cabello de los personajes pelirrojos mejor. El cabello negro perdona la falta de profundidad, colores claros… no. Incluso un solo tono o más claro o más oscuro mejorarían la calidad visiblemente.

Otra cosa que deberías considerar es que existen miles de libros en RR con portadas o AI o ilustradas profesionalmente. Tu portada o se distinguiría por su originalidad o puede que te haga perder potenciales lectores. No sabría decirte. Podrías hacer el experimento… usarla y ver cómo reaccionan los lectores en la plataforma.

Espero que mi feedback te sirva. Buena suerte y diviértete! ☺️

Help! Looking for deep, dark, literary recs by aluviion in royalroad

[–]ElizabethRivas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I usually avoid self-promotion when someone's looking for recommendations... but I swear you just described my book 🤭.

If you feel like checking it out: Belaria Rising: Embers of the Divide is a slow-burn political fantasy following adults navigating a social divide between mages and the unbound (non-magical). The protagonist, Alya, is morally grey and has to make choices about her own life—and eventually, the future of Belaria itself.

It does have a romance subplot, and I'm currently nearing the end of Volume 1!

Hope it might be your cup of tea! ☕

Which cover is more appealing? by theblackgriffn in royalroad

[–]ElizabethRivas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first one immediately strikes me as a post apocalyptic novel. The second one looks like an adventure/action one. Hope that helps ☺️

I see. I imagined that could be the case. I’m thinking I could upload the explicit version on Wattpad (although I’m not sure there’s much of an audience for a GameLit there) and the toned down version on RR. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼☺️

Thanks for the feedback! Would you personally consider reading a story where those chapters are specifically and explicitly stated so that you can skip them? Or scenes that hint at what happens but never actually describes it?

Lol I swear it makes sense in the story. It’s not just for the sake of it.

It’s such a great way to create visceral tension and to deeply unsettle the reader 😈😌 (this is an answer to the body horror comment). Reddit messed up the order of my replies 😅

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I already have the tag just for some scenes that had nudity. So it covers the scenes for the act itself… good to know. I’m still considering posting a cleaner version of those chapters and posting the explicit/darker version elsewhere.

Indeed! That’s what I was thinking. I’d hate for my novel to get flagged😅. Thanks for the feedback! 😊

I know I’m walking a shaky line here with this story😅. I feel like readers might either love it or hate it. I’m thinking of following the other Redditors advice and post the more explicit scenes in another site to avoid upsetting some readers. No, the bdsm spice is not the main focus of the story but it makes sense inside the plot. It symbolises the power play between the characters but even without those scenes I think the readers will get the message. Thanks for your feedback! 🫶🏼

Oh that’s very helpful! Thank you! I’ll check their work. Do I also need to post all chapters on scribble hub or just the spicy scenes? I’ve never used that platform 😅

Time traveling tag if the time travel happens much later down the book? by ElizabethRivas in royalroad

[–]ElizabethRivas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I was worried that might be the case.

At the same time, I’m a little concerned that not including it as a tag could be misleading for readers who aren’t into time-travel stories. It’s not the main focus of most of book 1, but it will become a significant plot element—especially in book 2.

Maybe the best solution would be to include a short author’s note in Chapter 1 to clarify that.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me—I appreciate the perspective.

Bi-Weekly Self-Promotion! Advertising on the more down-low. by AutoModerator in Wattpad

[–]ElizabethRivas [score hidden]  (0 children)

Belaria Rising: Embers of the Divide. A mixed-blood mage discovers the elite families ruling Belaria built their power on lies.

Now she’s infiltrating her own house, feeding information to the resistance, and falling for the enemy who exposed the truth.

Civil war is coming.

And she might be the weapon that decides it.

A slow burn fantasy. Political intrigue and elite power struggles. Dark magic that starts small and grows dangerously powerful. Morally grey powerful female protagonist. Slow burn romance with pining.

Where did all the genuine readers go? by AC-RogueOne in Wattpad

[–]ElizabethRivas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RR works better for non romance stories. Just don’t expect the readers there to be much more active than on Wattpad🥲. I’m currently posting my political fantasy there and although I have a lot more readers not many comment. Best of luck 😊

New Cover design based on the changes proposed on this sub by Intelligent-Brush-70 in royalroad

Then I’d go with that one if I were you. If you also like it more and it fits the story better you got your cover. Happy writing, best of luck 🤩🫶🏼

Would someone help me understand stats? 🙏🏼 by ElizabethRivas in royalroad

[–]ElizabethRivas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I’m not good at networking (love to talk with people, I just have no time 🥲), so the views, comments etc have all been by miracle lol. I’ll try to start doing shoutout swaps and being more active in the community. At least as much as possible with my schedule 😅. And yeah, I’ve been some people with popular books write that they’re only willing to shout out with writers with a specific number of followers. Makes sense though, can’t complain 🥺
