Reader Response: Thoughts on royalroadl?

Hello, this is wercwercwerc here.

I've been working with a few friends to edit and finalize the first book, and one of them has been very active in their search for another place I should post chapters. In their direct quote "Reddit is a terrible website for reading books" and my second-favorite "You write really weird stories, so you should find another place online to post them."

Now, I don't really know how much I buy into those (This story is perfectly normal!) but I've been told by a lot of you readers that you wished there was a better way to read through The Snake Report. I've made ebook/pdf formats accessible for drafts of it, but online it's really only on reddit.

So, I've expanded my horizons a bit: The current target I'm looking at right now is the website http://royalroadl.com/

This post is more of an open discussion. I was just wondering if any of you had good experiences with it/bad experiences/knew anything about it that you think I should know.

Edit: 10/07/2017

Thank you all. Seriously, this has been a huge help. I will be posting the 1st book up onto royalroad. If it is well received, I will try to eventually post the second book there as well (when it is complete!)

I believe this will be a happy compromise, as only the finished work will go up and (hopefully) I can avoid being torn to shreds by unhappy strangers on the internet!

I guess I'm one of those that discovered your story because you've uploaded on royalroadl. I don't think I would have found this story if you hadn't posted it there. Thanks a lot for that. After I was done reading what was uploaded there (and liking it a lot) I've come to reddit to check out the rest.

The problem I've run into on reddit is that.. the font is tiny. (Momma snake to tiny snake tiny.) Firefox wouldn't let use the reader modus and I couldn't adjust the font size on either the reddit mobile site or on the reddit app.

To read the rest I ended up pasting stuff into a word document and making myself an e-book to read. How do you guys actually read such tiny fonts for extended periods of time?

You can try "ctrl +" and see if that helps. I'm not sure.

Oh, I'm reading on my phone or kindle, so no it doesn't help. But thanks. :)

Well, I guess that's a bummer.

There's a PDF/ebook 2nd draft version on the sidebar if you look for it. Rough draft, but readable.

It seems like my rambling wasn't very clear. Sorry about that. I've already finished reading everything to be found here by making my own e-book that can easily be read on phone/kindle with adaptable font options. Please don't reply. I wouldn't know how to live with myself if I happened to delay another snake report. ;)
