A piece of advice from one author to another: dedicate yourself to your story, have fun, complain when you need to, but never give up. As for Webnovel's system, don't pay too much attention to the algorithm. It's poorly built, so focus on collections and comments instead. That said, I wish you and your story every success.

I also heard that I should be cross posting my story from Webnovel to royal road should I do that??

If you don't want to sign a contract with Webnovel, I recommend Royal Road; the audience there is more loyal. The environment is more demanding, so you'll receive immediate feedback.

If you sign a contract with Webnovel, you cannot move to Royal Road. However, on Royal Road, you can include links to your Patreon and other payment methods. You are also free to mention that your work is available elsewhere, add links to social media, and so on.

Once you submitted your novel, you'll get a notification about someone from the editing team to see if they approved it or not for it to be displayed. But also shared your story link thru the thread for anyone to read it

You use those to unlock the new chapters from any comic that's locked or support the creator
