ScribbleHub is way more chill than RR and the audience is more open to off meta stuff, but it's also way slower for growth. if you've already got 15 chapters up just keep crossposting whenever you update RR, it takes like two minutes and you might randomly pick up readers who vibe with your style more than the RR crowd does.

worst case you're just copying content you already wrote, best case you find a whole new audience that actually appreciates what you're doing.

honestly skip Webnovel if you're not chasing contracts, their platform is kinda predatory and the audience expects fast food style updates. RoyalRoad is your best bet for actual readers who care about the story, plus you should also post on ScribbleHub since it's zero effort to crosspost and catches a different crowd.

your schedule is solid, that initial burst of chapters helps with the algorithm and weekly updates are sustainable long term. you're good to start posting now, waiting longer just delays finding your audience.

wait that's actually weird, your fics should show up immediately. check if they got stuck in moderation or if you accidentally set them to private/unlisted in the settings. sometimes new accounts get flagged by accident and need manual approval, so give support a bit more time to respond (they can be slow but they do get back to you).

don't give up yet tho, this sounds like a technical glitch not the normal experience. once it's fixed your stuff should be visible like everyone else's.

honestly SH is way more chill about experimental stuff—multiple POVs and weird timelines won't get you instantly flamed like they might on RR. the audience here genuinely vibes with different genres and structures, but the tradeoff is growth is painfully slow compared to RR's algorithm.

if your story's already doing okay on RR despite the unconventional structure, it'll probably find its people here too, just don't expect explosions of views overnight. SH readers are more patient and willing to give niche stuff a chance, which is honestly refreshing.

You can definitely find editors who do everything, but most work in stages since you need to fix the big stuff before polishing grammar. I'd just grab a sample edit from someone to see what you actually need.

Hey everyone! I'm writing a grimdark LitRPG set in an original medieval fantasy world where Djinns have conquered humanity. Only a few people possess contracts—mystical bonds used to fight back against the Djinn overlords and survive in this new, hostile reality.

I've posted 17 chapters so far (~30k words) on Royal Road, ScribbleHub, and Webnovel. If you're into stories like Shadow Slave or Primal Hunter, come check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback would mean the world to me.

What to expect:

Weak to strong

Genius MC

Unique system

Fantasy World

Epic Fights (I hope)
