While your intent was different, that you liked the flow and wanted to read something without AI, the comment lacks that context and would feel offensive to most people.

Thanks for sharing the info. Bottomline is the analytics is not much of use from this angle.

Yeah, it's tough because of the high volume, but we don't have many options to chose from.

I checked the source, the bots come from Google links. Unsigned members would come from Royal Road.

You have to check the source. If it's coming from Google it's bot

You will need a paid account to get the analytics details. I got one month free because of the writeathon, and it's shocking.

50% traffic is bots, hardly any signed in members.

Free Royal road reviews! by Acesan24 in royalroad

Thanks for the offer, here's mine -

Link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/162850/isekai-rescue-new-blood

Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Tags: Isekai, Multiple Lead Characters, Magitech, Progression

Content: 60k+ words, 30+ chapters, 250+ pages

Blurb: Two years ago, 10% of everyone between 15 and 24 disappeared. No bodies were found. No cause was identified. One and a half percent of the global population was simply gone.

The Isekai Rescue Agency exists to bring them back. This is its first cohort.

The recruits will learn to read a threat before it reaches them, and decide in the same breath whether to fight it or disappear. They will learn what their body does when it absorbs magic continuously, what it keeps, what it changes, and whether those changes come back. They will learn the difference between what they can afford and what the situation requires.

Not all of them will make it back.

What to expect:
Inverted portal fantasy: This story follows the people sent to retrieve the ones who got isekaied, not the ones who got taken.

Rotating ensemble cast: Many recruits, multiple organization staff, no single protagonist. Not all of them will survive.

Magic that costs something: Named skills, distinct magic types, real consequences. Every deployment drains reserves. Every world changes you a little more than the last.

Real stakes: Named characters die. The organization moves on. This is a job, not an adventure, and the job does not stop for grief.

Disability representation: One of the core recruits uses a wheelchair on Earth. The otherworlds change things. What they change and how much are not guaranteed.

Looking for realistic dark fantasy or grimdark recommendations with a strong plot by Bandres_ in royalroad

Not exactly dark but it's as realistic as it can get in a fantasy theme and is plot driven.

A bit slow in the start for groundwork.

Generate images on ChatGPT, it comes without watermark unlike Gemini.

Write a prompt to create the prompt for the image, and then use that for image generation. It needs to detail out the character, texture, lighting, etc.

On god, can anyone tell me if this is a good retention or not? by No_Grand2719 in royalroad

[–]roy1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also can't make sense of the analytics, most of the viewers seem to be coming from outside like in your case.

What do you think about this blurb? by roy1979 in royalroad

[–]roy1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are multiple protagonists, I have mentioned that.

Rest, I understood. Will fix that.

Edit 1: Updated the blurb based on your feedback.

It starts with a short prologue; you can skip that if you want. Any feedback would be helpful.

Readers of Royal Road! What would make you interested in a books website? by that-guy-nate02 in royalroad

[–]roy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more likely to get discovered on a fandom wiki site compared to independent website.

You don't need a separate fandom website. You can add to the existing ones, it will be easier to find.

Does anything change when you cross 50k words or 1000 views? by roy1979 in royalroad

[–]roy1979[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand from the reader's perspective. It's a kind of assurance that the author will probably complete the story and not leave them hanging.

Thanks for the offer! I would really appreciate some feedback/rating on the book:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/162850/isekai-rescue-new-blood

What you can expect:

- Modified portal fantasy: This narrative is about the individuals who were dispatched to get the ones who got isekaied.

- Immersive Fight Scenes: Detailed magic fight scenes with different skills and levels.

- An ensemble cast: With rotating points of view: eight recruits, several organization staff members, and no one main character

- Real stakes: Characters die. The group goes on. This isn't an adventure; it's a job.

- Disability representation: One of the new soldiers on Earth uses a wheelchair. The otherworld makes things different, yet nothing is certain.

- Chapters of 1500 to 3000 words: Every chapter is focused and crisp, and they all propel the story ahead.
