Hey guys, I’m new to the platform as a whole but I’m starting to write my very first spicy romantasy Webnovel this week and I’m just wondering what the expectations are for pacing of the romance?

Will my readers get bored if it takes a while for steamy scenes to come? How often do they typically happen in a story on Webnovel?

I know Webnovel is becoming notorious for platforming smut, but I still would like to know what readers of my genre truly prefer. Is it really all smut all the time? I don’t mind that, I just want to know what people might expect from me so that I can think about pacing :)

My novel isn’t going to be a slowburn by any means, but I just thought I’d ask for any introspection on this from readers or fellow writers since I haven’t read very many webnovels yet (I’m going to tho!)

hi im releasing my first webnovel in a few weeks and noticed on the pinned post in the sub that OP mentioned an author discord?? is that still a thing?? can someone send me the link 👀

like the title says.

im just getting out of a lengthly writing slump and posted my first new chapters the other day. was originally planning to upload 3 chapters every friday, but should i aim for more? or maybe spread them out to multiple days?? what do readers prefer??

any insight from fellow writers or even readers on their preferences would be much appreciated :)

Heyyyyyy I’m just returning to Wattpad after a few months’ worth of writer’s block and new chapters of my story Waiting In The Sky will be up tomorrow, so I figured I’d ask if anyone wants to do R4R??

If your story sounds interesting to me, I’ll give it a try and maybe comment and engage a bit if you do the same!!

I write dark fantasy with sapphic romance and my user is duckywritez !! Would love to find new similar authors to support and who are active readers :)

My link is commented below, I’ll be reading your stories over the next couple days !!

hey guys im looking for some advice from experienced medium writers.

i used to use medium when i first started freelancing back in 2022, and have returned a few times but never really stuck with it. because i didnt ever post very consistently, i never earned more than 50 cents.

but im hoping to come back to the platform and post consistently because i miss blogging and want to grow my audience and reach as a writer.

any advice for how to come up with ideas for posts, how to stay consistent, earning expectations, etc would me much appreciated!! i usually write mostly lifestyle content and about music, freelancing, and my experience fiction writing. not sure if i should niche down for wider reach or stay in multiple?

this is my formal request for your very best litrpg/progressive fantasy recs B)

im exploring the app for the first time having never read any litrpg and i would love to read people’s favourites or just what you might deem a “classic” in your eyes

for context im big into fantasy in the trad pub sense and love epic/high fantasy stories but i really am open to anything :)

EDIT: feel free to plug ur own stories !!!!!!!! im an author so i get the urge to shove your WIP in everyone’s faces lolol and i am honestly just here to support the community :)

(this post may be a bit rambly and incoherent; its late at night, please forgive me)

hey guys im an aspiring author who predominantly writes fantasy with horror and romantic elements on Wattpad.

looking for some advice!!

im currently re-envisioning my plans for my work and what projects i want to focus on, and Royal Road seems like a really intriguing platform with an active userbase that i could benefit from, but im not sure what genres are generally accepted aside from the obvious litRPG (which i have very little knowledge of and have never read, though it sounds genuinely interesting)

i have tons of outlines for various fantasy projects, but most feature queer leads and have a subplot of romance. lots of horror elements woven in too.

im not sure if thats what readers are looking for on RR. so i always just stuck with Wattpad.

i guess my question is: should i continue writing what i want and see if it does well on RR? or do i give litRPG a try?? or maybe RR is just not for me …?

either way i would love any good recs to read on RR as im new to the platform as a reader too!!

hi guys im currently writing a story and am considering publishing to webnovel and doing a contract, but i have a few concerns about the contract that i cant find answers to.

i already have a work in progress book that i post on wattpad, but its unrelated to the book i want to sign. so would continuing to post separate works on wattpad be considered a breach of contract?

moreover, if i supposedly *have* to pitch everything i write to webnovel within the first year because of priority rights, am i allowed to decline their offers if i want and publish the new stories elsewhere??

sorry if this has all been asked before im new here, would appreciate anyone able to clarify

hey guys im a new writer planning my first web novel and i need some advice.

im planning on uploading 1-2 chapters daily and most likely want to try for a contract but im just wondering how many chapters i should drop the day my book goes live??

ive seen some people say no one will read if there isnt enough content upfront, so how many chapters should i stock up on before i start posting??

any advice would be highly appreciated :)
