It's LDAR'ing on Amazon at the moment. People I show it to say it's good, but it's not getting sales, and the book reviewers I contacted who said they were interested and would get around to it aren't getting around to it.

One of the main characters is a kind-hearted incel who gets a oneitis and tries to seduce her, but ends up creeping her out instead and getting friendzoned. I think a lot of you guys would relate.

EDIT: People seem to be interested, so anyone can PM me for the Amazon link or ask for a PM from me. I won't post it publicly for fear of getting doxxed. It's only $0.99 and is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

Is it 3rd or 1st person?
 
Tbh I'd buy it if I had a credit card. I'm also an unsuccessful writercel :feelsrope::feelsrope::feelsrope:

Third person limited. Standard for the genre.

It takes place in a militaristic feudal empire that got fragmented after its ruling dynasty got wiped out during a civil war. The three main characters are royals from the leftover kingdoms (the incel is the king's bastard).

send link
I'll PM the link to anyone who asks for it. I don't want to post it publicly as I don't want to get doxxed by Inceltears.
 
If you want raw truth, nobody markets talent anymore.. It’s all about popularity contests
 
Keep bumping this thread so people on .is buy it up.

You could enoll in Kindle Unlimited and read it for free. I still get money for pages read through Kindle Unlimited.
 
good way to earning money tbh. I would give it try
 
How long was the book? How long did it take you to write it? Do you plan to write more?
 
Get pewdiepie to read your book, I heard he is into books nowadays. If he mentions your book in one of his book reviews you will be set for life.

The "starving artist" stereotype is real, brah.

How long was the book? How long did it take you to write it? Do you plan to write more?
It's just above 151,000 words; 644 print pages. It took over a year and a half with ample free time per day, but it would've taken longer if I had less. It's the first book of a series I had planned.

I'll look into it, though I don't know if we share a target audience.
 
I bought it btw bro

The writing is good. Other incels should buy it even if you're not gonna read it to help a fellow incel LDAR
 
Meh, might check it out

Thanks.

I always appreciate positive feedback. Negative is fine, too.
 
its over for writercels
 
Give me a link
 
I want to write a book but I think it would be better as a manga. But I'd need two more people for the manga, one to draw and edit the shit and one to translate everything to Japanese so I can pretend it's actually a manga from Japan (no one would care about a manga written by a Brazilian).
 
Bump so people can see this

There are two ways you can go about this.

You can write your book/novel, then do promotion and marketing, hoping it gets popular enough to get a manga adaptation.

Or you can write a screenplay and pay an artist to turn it into a manga.

In either case, you will need years of practice before you write anything even remotely publishable. And even then, if your premise isn't marketable, at least to a specific niche if not the general audience for your genre, you're shit out of luck even if the execution is entirely on point.

Going to buy it when I find my Amazon card.
Was the preview good? (For anyone who doesn't know, there's a "look inside" feature on every Amazon ebook page that lets you read the first few chapters of an ebook when you click on the cover image.)
 
pm it pls, sounds interesting
 
PM me. I don't agree with your politics but I do think your writing is exceptional.

I didn't know how to access it, but I'll check it out later. You should get your book out there, as it will definitely be a success when people know about it. Have you thought about sponsoring it on Amazon?

Paid marketing and sponsorship is a waste of money for books that don't have any reviews. Readers base whether they'll buy a book on reviews, leaving new authors in a catch-22 scenario where they don't get sales because they don't get reviews, and they don't get reviews because they don't get sales. The only way out is to query book reviewers in hopes they'll accept and review your book, but pretty much all of them are wishy-washy femoids and nu-males who value their Soylent more than their word.
