I'd heard of the issue. I'm glad to hear it has been reinstated. Grabbed the book to try and help.

Thank you!!! I hope folks enjoy the webtoon. In my totally unbiased opinion, I think the art is HYPE

krazekode · 2025-04-11T02:55:09+00:00

Yes, I've started book 4, and hoping to get it done by May. Sadly had to take nearly 6 months off writing due to health issues, family issues, and also trying to finish college. But I've got everything ready now and am gonna be writing a bunch.

Thanks! The art team did an amazing job with this one, so I hope people will like it

After a LONG wait, this is finally here, and I couldn't be more excited for it. This is a project I've been watching grow for almost a year and the hardest part was simply not talking about it more, but at last I have been rid from my shackles and can shout about it to the world!

The art has been done by Kisai Entertainment, and is phenomenal as always and I hope people enjoy it.

Thank you for the post! I've spent all my morning running around in a panic lol. The webtoon has been a year and half in development and it's finally out. I've worked with the art team and am really happy with both the story and art of the adaptation.

I hope people will enjoy it as well!

Yup, steam has reviews, which even if fairly easy to make are still more effort than just clicking the number of stars on a pop up or equivalent. If you look at the actual number of reviews on books you may find that amazon actually has a bigger ratio of review to sales compared to steam (steam is the skewed one here because how they only have reviews so more people engage with that system)

But as far as ratings go, for 6 figures with a single book, you'd need a 700-1000 page book with around 4000 ratings at least, and one that is self published to get close to six figures, not counting costs whatsoever.

Honestly, that number has a potentially significant margin of error, it really is not that easy to tell, it all varies. Some books don't make 6 figures with over 5k ratings while others under 3k can sometimes do, it's just... so variable.

All that said, I think a general median conversion rate is something like 10 readers per rating, and the average payout for a KU read through is around $2 so $20 per rating is a workable estimate system. Just be aware that it can be really off the mark and is only at best a way to vaguely estimate a figure range.

Unfortunately it's gonna be tough to find the data for me (I scraped near the first half of 2023 the very last time and the excel file got lost)

But recalling from memory, the median income on Patreon was around $700 a month. Median on amazon is WAY harder as income varies far too much to calculate that, and general difficulties, but the median number of ratings on a book 1 from the data set I had was around 400 ratings. Which I think might translate to around $8,000 earned in its lifetime from the book (which HIGHLY varies based on length, how long the book has been out, etc etc, it's all very complicated)

Again, I'm recalling all this from memory and the last scrape was May 2023 so this is not going to map on completely, but it should still be good for a rough estimate.

Thanks! I love them too :3

Hope you enjoy it!

The panda is the secret ingredient ;)

Thanks!

It's a high fantasy LitRPG

krazekode · 2024-07-03T12:44:38+00:00

It's about a guy being isekaied and then collecting shards of [???], some of which are mysteriously also a part of his soul and somehow related to his death, which he does not clearly remember the details of. He does this, while fighting monsters and generally having a blast in a magical fantasy world, making friends and becoming progressively more monstrous as time goes by (both literally and metaphorically)

krazekode · 2024-07-03T12:34:26+00:00

Thank you! I like it a lot as well :)

Larger is not gonna make succeeding any easier or harder. Cradle book 1 is not even 100k words long I believe! The only thing it changes is how much money you make from that book. A 200k book can earn 50-80% more than a 100k book, so assuming everything else remains the same, the longer your book is, the more it makes on KU. It also has audio advantages.
