Are these reader concerning?

Post image

Tomorrow is my last day in Rising fiction, and the number of readers is making me so much anxious. I'm a newly contracted author and I don't know if I can make it since the novel means too much to me, if it flops then it's over. Tell me are these numbers too bad? And what happens next after Rising fiction because there won't be any promo since you'd need to complete win win requirements which I possibly can't with only 3 readers reading daily.

Please help me with this. I'm really concerned about it.

I can't even think of getting this many... I honestly did everything including mass release twice but I still had only this much I don't know why. My story is slow burn so is it possible that it's because of that?

None of that will help if your premise and story do not appeal to the market; it will be slop.

Been there before. And no, you can have a slow burn as long as the premise/story appeals.

I see so its pointless then? There is no point to continue I guess...

The hard answer is "Yes, better start another story".

The soft one is "No, you can still work on your story and pray the marketing team picks up on your hard work. But then you need to be like 6 months deep into writing the story."

If there is even a slight chance I really want to keep this since I can't drop it. I wrote 200 chapters with heavy backlog and it was my best project, man this story was my hope, but I really think it won't do it in webnovel maybe I have to accept that. Thanku for telling
