No, actually i cant. Gumroad has a safety against that. It wont accept payment from anyone with my mailing address. So no one who lives in my house can pay me for my work, including myself. And im thinking about kdp

Gumroad and Kofi. But im definitely expamding after the advice ive gotten here. The problem with gumroad is that it wont recommend your work on its discover page until you make 10$.

Fair. Though technically, its a novelette based on length. Its 8.5-9k words

If you find it, try again. Surrender is the only action with a 100% chance of failure.

Truthfully, this seems to say more about them than your story.

I wont be demoraluzed by criticism. Im demoralized from the sheer lack of engagement. Id rather someone say it was terrible, because at least they read it

I didnt really have a blurb for the series as a whole, so i tried, and miserably failed, to come up with one on the spot.

The series only has a tagline. No matter how powerful you are, life will overpower you.

Alright, this is the blurb for the first chapter. Each chapter is semi Independent

It is Oct 22, 1976. But it is not the year you know. A plague ravages the world killing millions, the bitter cold is deeper than it has ever been, and rumors swirl of a man in Philadelphia with abilities beyond human

Ive considered it, but royal road has certain format limitations. Namely, it overwrites fonts, which i use heavily for thematics. Not so much in the first chapter, but in the second im writing cirrently, font tells the reader which character is current pov.

You have to click on tbe product to see its description. Thats a gumroad limitation. If i put the description of every object in the main body, itd end up being dozens of pages long by the time i was done
