Not for prose or tight editing or deep themes, frankly. As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be. >Why write web novels? Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings. Many successful authors gain an audience on their website of choice and funnel their readers into a Patreon. See graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/writing for an idea of what some are earning.

𓀐 @2cp2s~yk: >https://www.royalroad.com/pages/advertising-faq >$55 is the minimum to publish an ad with about 1% of chances of bringing about new patrons. I only publish 3 chapters per week, so I'm merely seconds on Latest Updates every couple days. I only have 2 paying patrons, (not even close to covering those $55 anyte soon), and my general discoverability on RR has been very low, but there's no way I'm paying for ads. I doubt Primal Hunter and New Life as an Archmage ever spent money on ads. I'm sure they're proof that when your story is good, word-of-mouth is more than enough to get discovered by the masses... or what do you think?

I have 2000 followers and I've never bought a single ad, done any shoutouts, review swaps, and am not on discord. Just write something that's fun
