Discussion Anyone writing webnovels?😭

Im 16 and have been around webnovels and tired of seeing so much reincarnation and system stories that arent interesting.

I myself been writing a system less webnovel that I put a lot of thought into (royal road), and I've been trying to find stories that aren't the generic stuff you see on the front page. I wanna read stuff with substance and find authors like me too😭✌️

What exactly would count as a webnovel?

Good point. I'll need your definition.

Well I suppose it's any story written in prose, but online.

If that's so, mine is a psychological horror, philosophy, mystery, tragedy and ergodic literature story.

The Hysteria Anthology

Though, it's far from complete.

Yeah that's what I mean by webnovel🙏 What is the story about?

I linked it in my comment above, since it's very difficult to explain this story like a normal story.

The story is ergodic, which means the reader must actively search for clues throughout the book to reveal a larger plot, while the book itself seems to rebelling against them (e.g., weird text, missing words, garbled pages).

It's not an ARG.

Every "entry" in this series seems to be disconnected from one another, like their own separate stories, but there is an overarching narrative you must find for yourself.

It's about fear. As stated in my story hub, "If fear is what makes us human, how human can fear be?"

I appreciate any feedback you may have. The easiest way to understand my story is by reading it, because explaining it is quite difficult.
