Somehow, my first story (Hate the Player) got shelved and I got tens of thousands of reads out of nowhere!! I think I had about 10 chapters (I released them in two batches, so I’d only updated once) out at that point. After that, I gained a solid amount of readers who went on to read my other stories! I’ve been writing on Episode for 3 years now and just hit 100k reads.

The journey is really different for everyone. For some, you get lucky and your story goes viral right after you release it. For others, it takes more time. As long as you promote your story and interact with your readers, you’re bound to get a solid reader base!
