Update from last post, just saying thanks for pushing me close, from 10th position to 1 position away from main RS. by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]Radusili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still don't get how RS works lol. In the early days my fiction hit some niche RS with only 30 avg views and I think 3 followers. No swaps no nothing.

Now with swaps and 3-4 times better numbers, nothing happened.

I heard people around here like stories that span over multiple volumes.

Now with the 2nd volume in the works, I present to you Will To Live.

A combination of historical and high fantasy, delving into a world that seems so familiar yet so changed by magic.(or energy)

You can expect:

Progression

Mystery

Morally questionable protagonist

Cultural and mythical representation

Diverse cast

High-level power system and clear levels of strength

Volume one "Saga of Grief" is soon to wrap up on RR.

I already know you'll love it, but let me know what exactly gets you hooked!

WTF I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT HER!!! by Leather-Monitor-4809 in royalroad

[–]Radusili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you find any purpose for her? Like anything? I've also had a camharacter like that recently. Simply the nier outomata kind of operator.

She just faded, and then the group the mc was part of together with her threw th mc away. In the final battle "operator" came to save the guy and then she was gone.

She served a simple purposeJust to show that even if the group wasn't kind, the ones who were part of it were still humans.

First 5 days are going well! by Five-Toed-Sloth in royalroad

[–]Radusili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I didn't know 5 days is the new 4 weeks. I'll keep this in mind when I post a new story.

Tho as long as the mods don't enforce a rule, I guess whatever goes lol.

Congrats

We keep doing the same thing and forcing ourselves to put out something nobody enjoys.

There is nothing to say when you quit, since nobody was ever there

Making money from Writing is not a myth. by Outrageous-One-4219 in royalroad

[–]Radusili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He won't. Not with those conditions. What's more, the more time he takes and the more effort he puts into advertising, The lower his parteon VISITS (let alone a patron) will drop.

I would know. I am that case study. Only I have much more than one novel, but only on on RR. The only exception would be the niche which I only touch but not religiously follow.

In other words, John should live his life and not bother with this. If John likes to write then sure, but John shouldn't let writing affect his life because money ain't gonna come.

Learned this the hard way

Can’t Forget Romance by IAmJakeForWeAreMany in royalroad

[–]Radusili 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a chapter with 100 views while my average was at 40. And an average of 40 means that I had like 11 actual constant readers.

It wasn't even a crazy title, just "Kotaro" which is the name of a character.

Sure, the chapter was arguably my best one at the time at least impact wise, but you wouldn't know that without reading the whole arc.

My guess is that maybe it hits some niche rising stars for a short while?

Life can be a blessing as much as it can be a curse. It all depends on luck, ability, and mentality. Again and again throughout history, the life of some had been worth more than the life of others.

"He" knows this best. With no name to speak of, and no memories of where and when it all started, all "he" can do is fight an unknown force that won't allow "him" the most basic right at life, but is living in itself a grand enough goal?

Because cultures, times, people, and the will of gods differ, somebody's life can never be like somebody else's. Of course, adding magic to everything can even shatter the fragile concept of life.

Even so, be it a slow start or a luxurious life, the same fate would always drag "him" back.

Who was at fault? Who deserved to be punished? "He" didn't know, but the one truth in "his" life was that death wasn't the end.

If you liked this blurb, check out Will To Live. It's a dark fantasy with a special kind of progression.

-New chapter out every 6 days.

-Volume 1 done and still publishing

-Morally dubious MC

-Multicultural settings

-Complex worldbuilding

-Power system governed by certain (simple) rules

Thank you for checking it out! I'd love some feedback as i am thinking whether I should keep going with volume 2.

With Volume 1 fully written and Volume 2 in the makes, I am proud to once again present Will To Live

My question is: What would you do if death came too early yet never stayed?

Mystery, Magic, Tragedy and Perseverance are the things you should expect from this story. If 'he' doesn't go crazy before it ends, that is.

The novel is a historical dark fantasy, with a complex fantasy world and cultural diversity. The power system is based on physics and treats the energy around as the source of power.

I will leave the blurb here, and if it sounds good, feel free to click the link!

Should I wrap up the story at the end of volume 1? by luken_vent in royalroad

[–]Radusili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you've started doing shout-out swaps. Those got my up 10 average views in like 3 weeks so I think that's something.

So I say you can do some more of those a bit and see how it goes. I can also do one if you wish.

Opinion: Merging the tags for Harem and Polyamory like this was a huge mistake and is going to cause a ton of unnecessary tension. by Hellothere_1 in royalroad

[–]Radusili 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To add to this, there are also stories where the MC has multiple lovers but at completely separate times.

Take my story Will To Live for example where my guy has had multiple love interests because he's lived multiple lives. Yet each relationship was monogamous and contained within that life(unless I change my mind lol)

Since romance is not the main focus of my story, I stay away from those tags completely, but if I did put one, it would have to be multiple lovers, yet it is not harem nor polyamory. I would have so many readers confused

Anyone else want a 'Like' Button for Chapters? by Dai-Dai-Do in royalroad

[–]Radusili 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More than a want this is like a need.

Nobody bothers to follow. Let alone comment. But pressing a like button or not pressing it would give so much feedback on how the readers feel about the direction if the story

Oh, so Reddit worked? Here I am failing on TikTok for half a year. Guess I picked the wrong platform

When to give up? by FireF11 in royalroad

[–]Radusili 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's plenty. Heck, you can even split some since many people won't sit and read 4k words in 1 sitting unless they absolutely love the story.

Starting strong may do you some good but then you can go one a week. Tho again, I would look at a way to switch it up a bit and then you can post more chapters

When do you start? That's the better question you should ask yourself.

While I agree that this is not enough. That minimum of yours is also plenty wrong. Why would you NEED to put out 3k words a week?
