   Good Quality Web Novel site

   The site itself is of high quality run by caring webmasters. The quality if the books on here depends on the skill level of the author. It's mainly for fantasy and sci-fi works.

   You can find many amazing stories on here or writers just staring out and the book/s filled with mistakes. It really depends.

   Do know that web novel doesn't simply mean novels put up online, it means serial novels that never end! This is important if you're writing a traditional novel as this'll impact how many readers, reviews and general traction you get on here.

   While your story will still have more reads then on Wattpad it's still going to be way less than the more popular stories on there. Generally the litRPG and dungeon novels rain supreme on here.

   I've been on here three years with 40+ chapters edited snd revised like crazy and have only one review, no subscribers snd twenty followers.

   Just like on Wattpad don't fall gor the b.s about making any income on here with anything that's a traditional novel. However, you'll have a better chance if you learn about web novels what's expected abd such, so do give that a try. I'm going to try that soon.

   This isn't sour graps I adore this site snd sm doing well considering my story isn't a good fit and the readers here wouldn't be considered my audience.

   I do wish that when signing up there was a disclaimer about what a web novel is to those of use who're ignorant about it.

   I'm going to keep trying and write several different web novels and see what happens.

   I am annoyed at how hard it us to get feedback on this site, so don't come here if you want to grow as an author people won't help you. They just want to do review swaps.

   A dedication to Royal Road

   I've explored a ton of online literature, searching far and wide for the best stories out there. And guess what? I stumbled upon RoyalRoad.com, and it's been a total blast! They've got this huge collection of books from many genres, but they really excel with fantasy, the best fantasy platform out there.

   I Use Storyboard That Every Day

   As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

   🏁 Competitors: Pixton

   👍 Pros:    Allows commercial use of your designs using their elements|Has a free option that allows you to make three active storyboards|Affordable price|Good range of racially-diverse characters

   👎 Cons:    Interface needs improvement|The dragging and clicking is often cumbersome for me.|No canva integration (pixton integrates with canva directly but costs substantially more)
