I'm a new writer and I would like to know how I can make my story known to some people.
I currently have only 9 views in total, so if anyone could recommend me how to increase I would appreciate it.

Okay, here are some things to do:

• Put the link to your novel in your forum bio so whenever you post in any thread (not just promo ones), if you say interesting things, people might check it out.
• Make sure your novel has a nice, eyecatching cover and banner and a concise, interesting blurb so people feel interested to try it when you share it.
• Post regularly both on here, and interact with people on the Tapas discord (also make sure a link to your work is in your Discord bio too).
• Try advertising on social media like twitter, reddit, instagram, tiktok etc.
• Join writing communities to hang out with other people passionate about reading and writing novels and developing as writers and be interested in other people's work and be encouraging and constructive.

thank you for the tips

there's lots of promotional threads where you can share your works with other people. You can join discord communities for writers and talk to each other about your works and make writer friends!

An attractive novel cover always helps too

There are also other platforms you can put your writing in (tho how well it does will depend on the genre - e.g. wattpad is popular for romance, Royal Road likes LitRPG)

Ahh I see you have only been posting since last week right? That explains stuff a bit.
I'd say try to follow and use the advice given here if you can, and keep writing and posting. Some people like to binge read and having a larger backlog of content to go through is attractive to some. And getting readers is a slow process for most of us anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much about it

[Withe_Reaper]

ok i will try to do that

[redfish]

OK so I took a glance at your novel, I note that English isn't your first language. The story does feel very clunky and is less show and more tell. It'll be a little difficult to engage with immediately.
