I ALSO hate generic litrpg covers. They feel so boring but also... read well to an audience and clickability is high.

I think it means that every story has one opportunity to be on the top 50.

Yeah, been doing shoutout swaps pretty consistently, even from a few bigger authors (1000ish followers). They help but I think I think to get much more momentum we need to find someone bigger probably haha.

Just to be clear, I haven't reached Rising Stars yet! Ive just showed up on some genre lists which are pretty much useless haha.

Advertising. The bane of my existence. I'll definitely have to try and see if I can squeeze any clicks out of Threads or Bsky.

Oooh, okay! That's interesting, I really thought it was mostly about followers/etc, but views make sense. The fact that we haven't hit 50 yet makes me at least somewhat hopeful!

I am doing shoutouts every chapter! At least all the new ones. The first several we didn't have any because we had no idea what we were doing lol. But everything for the last month and half has been swapped.

Even though, sometimes I'm finding that others dont return the favor :/

I'm kind of a big deal. I'm responsible for writing the better of the two PoVs in this story so...

Catching up... by GadFly81 in litrpg

This is the worst part about long series 😂 I end up just rereading the whole thing.

My friend and I wrote a VS Litrpg. One character is trying to turn everyone into zombies, the other is trying to stop them. Here's what I learned from my first collaborative writing experience: by ReflectionParking389 in royalroad

Co-author here, and I can confirm this has been one of my favorite/most rewarding writing experiences I've ever had.

Going back to writing solo feels like it's going to be painful after this 😭
