   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.

• Where do I get pdf books in russian?

  There are several internet platforms (e.g. wattpad.com) where you can find many Russian-speaking authors and read their work online (not pdf, sorry). A lot of amateur stuff, but decent, high-quality materials and classical prose & poetry are also published there. Source: 9 months ago

• Just venting...

  Same, except instead of "Twillight of gods" it's "marcy wu x male reader"(no I did not find wattpad.com in a sensible way), I feel like everyone who write's experience's this like some kind of spider-verse but instead of dead family and friends it's story's that are better than ours that we think of while we're trying to write.

• Ok, what is he really drinking?

  HEY, noisette café brand milk is acctuly kind of good tasting, take that back before I put you in my cringy fanfiction on wattpad.com. Source: 10 months ago

• VERY nervous about beta reader feedback...

  Wattpad.com is another that is more of a casual community where you can solicit for critique...many times in exchange for critiquing someone else's work. Source: 12 months ago

• I haven't been able to access Wattpad for hours.

  Try wattpad.com/home instead of wattpad.com. Source: about 1 year ago
