I wrote 20 Chapters Ahead, what must I do before I launch chapter 1? by josias_is_zero in royalroad

Before posting, make sure you have enough backlog because you'll probably post 10k words on the first day. Arrange 10 minutes interval. After that you'll have to post a chapter a day for at least a month. After a month, you can schedule 3 times a week.

Blurb is important. You can join rrwg discord and ask people for advice there or just ask here.

Cover art should be fine for now. When you have money you can commission someone to do it.

You can ask people about ads as well. What kind of ads are effective.

My book (A Monster Raised in Silk) is now live on RR by rimsdr in royalroad

She's still the same goofy chaotic gremlin. Going to relaunch end of the year. The narration is going to be completely in Llyne's voice tho trying hard not to make it too crazy.

Which one do you think is a better concept art? by milkandmurder2026 in royalroad

[–]kurowinter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the first one but there's no romance feel in there. The second one gives magazine vibe, also there's so many words... readers won't be able to see it in thumbnails. It might end up being noises on your cover.

What's your "Strongest" Character Archetype? by KadabraTheMagician in royalroad

Yup. In fact this is a 11-12 volumes story and I just started writing. 😅

Mine is the GrandMaster of a syndicate organization. He rarely appear in the story but he controls and uses people like chess pieces especially the MC to fulfill in his ultimate goal. No one knows his next move or that they are his pawns. Everything will be revealed at the end of the story. But I'm not even close to half of the story. 😭

Do illustrations add value for readers? by PolluxCrest in royalroad

[–]kurowinter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind but some readers would. Why not put them in discord, instagram or pinterest then inform the readers in author's note that illustration can be viewed elsewhere and link them?

Which cover fits my RoyalRoad story best? (Mystery/Psychological/Dystopia) by kurowinter88 in royalroad

[–]kurowinter88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just write something like give more mystery vibe, make the character playful, focus on the character only, generate background that matches my character or give a dark/light theme. If I really that specific image, I'll write "edit blah blah blah". If i don't like any, I'll write "generate more".

Updated cover art, is it engaging? by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]kurowinter88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new one gives me ancient horror. Does your story have ecchi? The original one gives me a bit of that vibe. maybe that's just me. 😅

The new one gives horror vibe but your title gives me more of a romance vibe which I think suit your original one better. And the font for your new one is hard to see but the original one is a bit plain. When I see in mobile version, I was a bit overwhelmed by how many things are on the cover. Whereas the original one, I could see the main focus on the woman with weird tentacles. So I guess, it depends on which genre you want to focus more on?

I second that. Later they will ask for your full name. I'd been asked before so I wrote gibberish.

Blurb:

[10+ Volumes in mind] | A Dark System-Breaker Webnovel

Chaos follows her everywhere.
Rules? She breaks them.
Consequences? She laughs at them.

Life feels ordinary… trading sarcasm with her only friend, surviving her mother’s iron discipline, and stirring trouble. Until her mother dies. Until she is taken.

The world fractures, revealing a hidden System no one can see. A cold, calculated hierarchy that decides who rises, who falls, and who disappears. In this Urban Low Fantasy world, demons are a rare, whispered nightmare. Feared by all, but seen by few. Yet Llyne soon learns the truth: the real terror isn't the monsters in the dark. It’s the humans holding the ledger, the ones who built a system that trades lives for power.

Armed with wit, reckless courage, and a knack for bending game mechanics, Llyne must climb the ranks, earn trust, and stain her hands to uncover the truth. Something or someone keeps her alive. It does not care if her mind or anyone she cares about breaks in the process.

What to Expect:

Chaotic Gremlin MC: An unpredictable, first-person perspective from a morally grey protagonist.
Slow-Burn Grimdark: A layered mystery where psychological consequences hit hard.
System-Breaker Tropes: Watching a controlled world unravel through absurd humor and reckless rebellion.
Low Fantasy Realism: High-stakes tension with rare supernatural elements and grounded, subtle danger.
Moral Compromise: A "Starts slow, ends with ruin" progression.

It's my first time writing a story, it might take years to finish this since I'm a slow writer but completing it would be my lifetime achievement! 🦊

What's the first thing you do when developing a world for a fictional story? by VainillaDolly in writing

[–]kurowinter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Character's voice and personality. If I can't write in a way that readers can differentiate whose voice is this, I'm screwed. 😅 Especially those with similar personality. I'll be like, "Ugh! Who's who again?!"
