What happened to all the chapters 

Tsuru · Oct 24, 2022

1) Westerners rarely know about webnovels AND culture of reading webnovels =not mainstream. Lot people probably still think "novels = books in library". Meanwhile earlier 2012, jp had webnovels starting and known to otakus AND china had no manga companies yet so they focused webnovels heavily

2) Different group users, biggest = anime watchers (millions or billions?) then manga readers, and last, low number "novel readers"

3) Authenticity
Same reason humans prefer a JP chef for sushi restaurant

This new series, is the perfect example on how nowadays authors try getting popularity with cover/summary : https://www.scribblehub.com/series/604914/other-world-emotions/

meanwhile compare to them : https://www.scribblehub.com/series/604917/ghost-hunt-panic-in-the-country/

Wow, you’re right. That first one already has 100 readers, VS the others that only has a few. 

What are your thoughts on me trying an image like this: https://menilikdyer.com/assets/images/image03.jpg?v=71ae0399

Or maybe it needs to be an image of one of the MC’s faces.

Too old school (painting style)

ALSO same like previous one, there is nothing eye-catching to it

I mean, it is nice quality but are ton of red hair characters and clouds out there. AND you only see the back

-

Simply go danbooru or pixiv and pick a good one (also not forgetting to ask AND/OR writing in summary that "it doesn't belong to me" + "will remove if the creator ever request it"

+ Your image can't portray the content

"Shipcore" novel's cover at least you see the cool military uniform

This one ? A person looking at clouds ? = could be a building glass elevator / a sick patient / a poor person at bottom like Jinx looking at painting, etc

Another proof that "anime" is popular

Go check the VERY (ex)popular "HADES" indie game

Probably you heard long ago "Binding of Isaac" indie game about it's huge success despite being small right ? Welp, watching "Hades" on youtube (the early beginning) will allow you to see how this game succeeded to dethrone it as number1 indie game

Conclusion of all : internet is now full of teens full of hormones

Also i recommend the masterpiece "Coeus?" from the very popular royalroad author "Andur"

It will allow you to see in more details what crave nowadays readers
