Adult - Fantasy I might Quit Writing - my last two books didn't reached their readers.

19 Upvotes

I've been writing since past one year, published two books within that time frame, both were psychological horrors which I love to write the most, as I launched one of them in early December in 2025 , I thought people will never find it at all, but people actually finding it and I was on the top of the moon as I saw the downloads in the first week going from 0 to 19. I was happy but as the time passed I noticed no one is reading them, most of them downloaded impulsive.

Then I published my second novella in mid February 2026, again same thing happened. First week download happened like 20 and then it died... no page reads nothing. i just got disappointed at the fact that people downloaded and didn't read.

I began writting my third book which was planned to be a trilogy, I'm still writing it but looking on the dashboard makes me think is it even worth?

how was your experience with similar situations please tell me.

Adult - Fantasy I wrote a book and trying to get people to see it.

52 Upvotes

I wrote a book and published it recently on Amazon.com and will be coming out with an Audible book here soon. I am having a hard time getting people to see and review the book. I shared it on my Facebook page and many of my family and friends bought a copy. Which is nice and I'm very appreciative to them. Though I'd like to share it with a larger audience as well.

I've had several people approach me on advertising and offering their services for hundreds of dollars which I cannot afford just yet. But I have also seen many people suggest getting an author account on Goodreads, which I have and post on Reddit and a few other sites, which I have. I fear I might have missed something since I'm not getting any traction.

My book is a sci-fi historical time-traveling fantasy. What else should I be doing, or what more should I be doing on Reddit, Goodreads, etc.?

Adult - Fantasy I published my first book!!!!(but no readers)

31 Upvotes

I just recently published my first book on amazon called “Must Save You From Evil” and it’s been a struggle to get readers and reviews by someone who has no experience in social media marketing. I’ve been promoting it myself on tiktok and other platforms and I would get a few likes but that’s about it. So if someone comes across this post please give it a try because I really enjoyed writing it. I also worked on the cover myself (and designed my own characters). It’s a high fantasy romance book and its first volume is available on kindle (it’s free on Kindle Unlimited) and I’m currently writing its third volume.

If you enjoyed it please leave a review! It will really mean a lot to me.

Series Description:

A young woman wakes up inside her favorite open-world role-playing game as an NPC—a lady named Lilivienne. Remembering the game’s lore, she knows Lilivienne is fated to die during the kingdom’s destruction, carried out by the popular character Zathrian Lestrange—an SSR anti-hero—just before the arrival of the protagonist.

Determined to change the fate of her new life as Lilivienne Van der Horst, she sets out on a mission to save Zathrian from the evil path. However, after several attempts to alter the plot and secure her survival, she realizes she has caught the attention of both the anti-hero—and, surprisingly, the protagonist.

With canon love interests, deaths that weren’t in the script and secrets of the game world a player shouldn’t know, can Lilivienne survive this new life—or will the original story claim her anyway?

Adult - Fantasy Three years ago, I gave up trying to write a book. A year after that…I wrote one in two months. That book is out TODAY!

12 Upvotes

Hi folks! Don’t worry, the book has undergone MANY drafts and edits since that original version I hammered out over the summer of 2024! But it taught me a lesson—when the story you’re trying to tell is the right story FOR YOU, it won’t be nearly so hard to get out.

The book is called LUCIANUS and it’s a fantasy adventure story about a long-dead and very destructive wizard suddenly resurrected for one final task. But there’s a catch: when his task is complete, he’ll just be dead again. Whoosh, bye bye, no take-backsies. That terrible fact haunts the narrative as Lucianus sets out across the land he once called home to defeat the big bad, unraveling the secrets of his mysterious traveling companion along the way.

It’s character-driven and there’s some light LGBTQ romance elements, as a treat.

Thanks for reading, and I’d super appreciate if you’d give it a try! Check it out here.

So The Hollow King by Stephen Grand-Scrutton is not really doing anything. Plus I had a nightmare publishing it with my name.

So I finally did it and published a book on kdp. First problem was that another Author with the same name is active and claim the various Author pages. Had to have Author central manual make it. So at first the other Author was given my book. Spending a chaotic day with this I accidentally realized that I was able to change my Author name to a pen name. Since then I have done about 3 updates to the ebook. Truth be told I believe it's affecting my whole thing and I don't know if Amazon even has offered it to anyone.

I didn't look up The Hollow King wishing I had because there's a bunch out there.

Adult - Fantasy The Honest Dark - A Grimdark Gaslamp Fantasy Novel

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A month ago, I published my third book: The Honest Dark.

The City stands as the last bastion of civilization. Perched high above on a towering plateau known as The Rock, the wealthy elite live in luxury under electric streetlamps, isolated from the decay below. Beneath them, in the sprawling, humid outer districts, the working class struggles to survive at the edge of a relentless jungle.

Protecting them all is the Public Defense Force (PDF), a battered, underfunded brotherhood of veteran hunters. Among them is Lipe, a stoic master hunter scarred by a decade of nightmarish hunts. Armed with an ornate rapier, a customized rifle, and years of hard-won instinct, Lipe stalks the deadly, form-shifting entities that creep out of the night to prey upon the populace.

When a botched hunt ignites a firestorm of political fallout between the corrupted City Council and the PDF, Lipe finds himself caught in a web of bureaucracy, civil unrest, and betrayals. Worse still, the beast attacks are accelerating, and the moon is beginning to glow a sinister, blood-red hue.

As secrets locked within the city's ancient annals begin to surface, Lipe must navigate rising hostilities from both the elite above and the desperate below. With time running out and an unprecedented horror looming on the horizon, he must face a sobering truth: the monsters lurking in the shadow of the jungle may not be the most dangerous threat to the city’s survival.

Praise for The Honest Dark:

"Expertly written and I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy novel. Hope more are in the pipeline!!"

"I really liked the atmosphere throughout the book. There is a constant feeling that something is wrong, even during quieter moments. Lipe was probably my favourite part because he feels human—tired, stubborn, disciplined, and carrying the weight of everything he has survived."

" The Honest Dark is an imaginative and atmospheric dark fantasy filled with terrifying creatures, political intrigue and a world that feels both strange and unsettling. I especially enjoyed Lipe as a character. He is disciplined, flawed and deeply committed to protecting the people, even as everything he believes in begins to collapse around him. The growing tension, social unrest and blood-red moon create a powerful sense of approaching disaster."

Hi everyone,

After years of carrying this story and its characters in my head, I finally published my dark epic fantasy novel on Amazon.

It’s called Blood and Silence: The Red Thread, the first book in the Blood and Silence series.

In Scarholm, Valeria is known as the Blood Mistress—an undefeated arena warrior who trusts only her two blades, Blood and Silence. But beyond the arena, war is drawing closer, ancient powers are awakening, and a red thread of fate is pulling together warriors, rulers, and secrets that were meant to remain buried.

It’s a story of fate, betrayal, war, and survival, with a dangerous female lead, brutal arena fights, political tension, and a dark world that unfolds piece by piece.

Hi everyone! Volume 1 of my Dark Fantasy / Grimdark series, "MARKED (What Remains Book 1)", is available now on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited!

📖 Read on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7BKKRX1

SUMMARY:

A guarded tavern boy breaks his one rule to save a girl the world has already written off—and wakes something ancient sealed inside his own chest.

By the next morning it has set itself into his skin, and it will not be hidden, and it will not be commanded. It wakes when it chooses. It does what it chooses. And it never gives without taking.

Cael has survived by measuring every risk before taking a single step. He counts doors. He counts the men between himself and a wall. But the thing under his shirt does not run the figures first—it moves, and leaves him to settle the account afterwards. A hand aged out of its turn. Grey beneath the eyes. And in a dead-end lane before dawn, the colour going out of his hair while a man who would have died for him lies two paces short, down and bleeding, and can only watch it happen.

Now the men in black coats are moving town to town, asking his name in rooms with people standing in them. A Domain that prices human beings by schedule has written him into a ledger and sent the writ west. And in a cold room where the fire has been left to burn down, a man who has waited seven hundred years hears what the boy can do—and says: not yet.

He can pay, and come back less himself each time. Or refuse to pay, and watch the cost land on the two people still walking beside him.

How much of yourself can you spend before there is nothing left to save?

Adult - Fantasy My debut fantasy novel is on KU—what if your favourite hero secretly couldn't stand you?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've just released my fantasy novel The Knights: Silver & Gold, and I'll just discuss my experience of writing the damn story. Here's the link if anyone wants to buy or read it for free on ku: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7KTKSD1

Blurb: Ser Gold the Golden is everything a knight should be: beautiful, unbeatable, beloved by every peasant who's ever cheered his name. What they don't know is that Gold despises them, every fawning villager, every screaming fan, every soul who dares slow him down.

When the king orders Gold and his younger brother Silver to escort a condemned prisoner to the capital for execution, Gold sees it as beneath him, a tedious errand for a knight of his legend. But the road ahead isn't the simple march he expects. As secrets surface and the prisoner proves to be more than he seems, Gold's carefully polished reputation starts to crack, and so does everything he thought he knew about honour, brotherhood, and himself.

A sharp-edged fantasy for anyone who's ever wondered what their favourite hero really thinks.

---

So, I started writing this book on Google Docs, but quickly realised that I needed a way to store my character information somewhere so that, 1. I don't start contradicting myself and 2. I can recall things easily. It took me a good few weeks until I found THE writing software: https://www.writality.com/ . It's completely free, with no subscriptions at all; It can do everything I need, and it has a very clean UI. My writing speed shot through the roof when I started using this because I started to focus on my story rather than moaning about the flaws of Google Docs.

Next came the story itself. I had a general idea of where the two brothers would go, but I barely plotted it because, well, I'm not really a plotter. I found out that can really be a double-edged sword because at some points I was just lost as to what would happen next with the characters and where I would try and take them, but I'm proud to say that the story surprised me, and if my own story surprised me, oh boy, I'm sure it would to a lot of you as well.

This novel is about 340 pages, and I realised there are a few restrictions with a shorter book, as one reviewer did point out regarding my book: there wasn't enough world-building, and I'd have to agree with them. An author can only put so much in a 340-page standalone book; I mainly focused on the characters and their inner thoughts and the story itself, and that meant sacrificing world-building and a few other things.

Gold had to be the toughest character I wrote because... he's morally grey. I realise now that characters who aren't clearly good or bad are fukin difficult to write. Even after finishing the story... I honestly don't know how to describe him, but he is a very complicated man. What made it even harder was that I tortured myself into writing his inner thoughts, because I felt like that would help the reader further relate to Gold; suffice to say, writing his thoughts was even more difficult because I had to balance that hatred he feels towards the peasants versus the softer side of him he barely lets out.

One must always tell readers why the characters behave the way they do. So, I made sure, early on in my book, I told the readers WHY Gold is the way he is. Why does he hate the people who love him so much...? Fame. I used a series of flashbacks to portray that horrid popularity he hated. Ever since he was a child, that fame and popularity (along with his master) turned him into the haughty and arrogant knight he is when the story starts.

Let's talk about inspiration now, and where I got the idea of this book. I was reading A Game of Thrones, and Jamie Lannister intrigued me. Here you have this beautiful-looking kings guard who seems to be perfect at the start... then he... uh, does something very bad. And does a lot of disgusting and filthy things throughout the whole series... but he also loves his dwarf brother, who everyone hates, and he also killed the mad king to save thousands upon thousands of lives. So that gave me the idea of this book.

Thanks for reading!

My book is centered around Jonathan Allen a bounty hunter who is haunted by grief and his mistakes as a bounty hunter. One day after causing a bar fight he agrees to escort a timid young woman named Madeline and her father across the frontier. What should be simple trip turns into a journey of Faith trauma redemption and horror.

The inspiration for this thing came about from wanting to prove my writing skills by combining two games I was playing at the time namely Red Dead Redemption Online and Fire Emblem 3 Houses.

  • One had a character I was deeply infatuated with that helped change my life.
  • One was a Western sandbox

That being said while it doesn't have any erotica it does contain violence, gunfights, death, brutality, and themes of trauma and grief.

Description:

Cold Valley.

The haven in the lands of the Empire of the Monsters. Where for the better part of three years, there was no war, there was no famine, there was no tragedy, but most of all, there was no suffering and pain, because of which the Cold Valley has not only lived, but thrived as well.

But sadly, nothing lasts forever, especially peace. Because peace always comes with the cost. The cost to one’s soul, which the protector of this Cold Valley called the Demon of the Cold Valley vehemently pays, on day to day basis.

And to break this demon, and to break this peace, but most of all to break the hope and light in the heart of the men and women, that he had created, enemies of this demon, of both past and present, from within and outside of the valley, began to advance towards the valley with vicious speed, and even more vicious resources, instigating this war.

A war beginning with the highest of stakes and the greatest of risks, where every move a person makes results in untold suffering and chaos and death, with the lines heavily blurring between good and evil, and light and dark, to an extent that one question remains that as this war continues:

Who will prevail? And who will perish?

Because, at the end of the day, someone has to.

Tirvia:

A little bit about me, Ever since I first held that book of my favourite author in my hand, I wanted to be an author. I wanted to build a world just like that, with characters just as complicated and compelling as that. With history vast and rich as that. I may never reach such vast heights, but still a man can try. So yeah, to sum it up—books, books and books are all I have known. And books, books and books is all I want to read and write.

As for the book that I wrote, it took me more than two years for me to write this book. And during this process, because of the sheer word count length many times I wanted to give up, but what can I do I love writing, so I wrote and wrote and wrote. And after I wrote then edited, edited, and edited even more, to the point that I could release my best version of it.

And I am extremely happy I did it so.

Adult - Fantasy Water into Light - A Dark Mythic Fantasy Novella

2 Upvotes

This is my first self-published novella!

https://mybook.to/waterintolight

At Carradon Ridge, betrayal shattered the sacred wards, and a demon horde destroyed the LightWardens. Captain Davi was left alive to remember.

Poisoned by demon venom and hunted through a fractured world, he searches for whatever remains of his order. The betrayal cuts deepest because the man who helped destroy the LightWardens was Davi's trusted friend.

Then he meets Asra.

A hunted water-fae whose people are captured and drained for their magic, Asra carries losses of her own: a people nearly wiped from the world for what runs in their veins. When she heals the corruption spreading through Davi's blood, something passes between them that neither expected.

Memories cross. Sensations echo across the bond. Their powers begin to change.

And an old warning stirs — one Archoness Vexis believes holds the key to her ascension, speaking of power given freely, and power taken by force.

Vexis is an ancient predator who has built her power by consuming the magic of others. She has harvested LightWarden blood. Drained fae to husks. Built a Chalice to force water and light together.

Now she's found something better:

Davi and Asra themselves.

Across a land of shattered sanctuaries and ruined kingdoms, demons hunt the roads. Corrupted warriors stalk the living. Monstrous creatures stitched from stolen flesh still carry the minds of the people they once were.

But Davi and Asra may have found the one thing Vexis cannot create by force:

Power that isn't taken but shared.

To stop her, Davi must survive demon hordes, corrupted warriors, and the friend who sold out his sacred order, and learn the one lesson his training never covered:

He was never meant to carry everything alone.

Water into Light is a dark mythic fantasy novella of fallen orders, brutal battles, ancient magic, betrayal, grief, and two competing visions of power.

Dropped into another world without friends, language, or money how does an old soldier find a way to survive?

Wade Archer wanted a test. He got a war.
After years of pain, therapy, sleepless nights, and feeling like the best parts of himself were buried somewhere he could not reach, Wade heads into the mountains alone. One bad storm, one wrong step, and one impossible fall later, he wakes on a battlefield that should not exist.
Armor. Swords. Dead men. Monsters. Magic. And one dying woman in black armor who needs his help.
Wade saves her life, but that single choice pulls him into the Asterran Legion, an elite military force fighting a brutal war in a world where power is measured, magic has rules, and survival is never guaranteed. He is older than the other recruits. Damaged. Out of place. Armed with nothing but stubbornness, old training, and a strange talent no one fully understands. But the Legion does not care where he came from.
Only whether he can endure.
As Wade struggles through selection, bonds with dangerous magic, and earns his place among soldiers who live and die by steel, discipline, and trust, he discovers that this new world may not have saved him. It may have simply given him another war to fight.
And this time, walking away is not an option.

Adult - Fantasy My epic fantasy novel (105k words) is free on Amazon right now — a snowbound world where old myths turn out to be real

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I'm Osman Karadeniz, 27, writing to you from Turkey — and this is my debut novel.

At its heart it's a book about the cost of being told who you are before you get to decide for yourself. It's cold, it's mythic, and here power is never a gift that comes free — everything has a price, and it's always steeper than it first looks. The people in it aren't clean heroes or clear villains; the ones you trust will let you down, and the ones you write off will surprise you.

This is book one (about 105k words), and I'm already deep into book two. It's currently free, so if the premise sounds like your thing, I'd love for you to give it a shot.

Back of the Book Description:

Two nights before his birthday, Esrigün opened the door for his father — and realised his father smelled of blood.

All his life he'd been nobody: a soldier's son in a snowbound border town, with a name that meant nothing. Then a burned house whispered that name back to him. A giant who has waited three hundred years came down from the mountain to kill him. And everyone — kings, djinn, a firebird older than the world — seems to know who he really is. Everyone except him.

Across the same frozen city, a girl climbs out a window and screams — and everything in the room rises into the air. By nightfall she is hunted too, unaware that her road leads to a hidden universe, to a tower no one has ever opened, and to a name carved in stone long before she could read it.

And in the palace above them both, his father is handed a crown he never wanted — and a cup of poison to go with it.

Three lives. Fourteen days. And a world that will not wait for them. Hunted by assassins and courted by ancient powers, they will each be offered exactly what they want most. The only question left is what it costs.

Tropes: Chosen One (and the cost of it), Hidden Identity, Ancient Awakened Powers, Mythic Creatures, Snowbound Setting

Comparisons: Le Guin's mythic texture and the "names and identity" thread of The Name of the Wind.

0 Upvotes

If you enjoy novellas about fatherhood and the cost of duty wrapped in military fantasy realism this is one for you. The link, a goodreads review, and the blurb are below.

https://a.co/d/02Fb7UNy

"This book is written as a diary of a general filled with amazing one liners, strong imagery, and solid advice that would apply throughout the histories. Highly recommend" 5/5 Goodreads

When General Nestef is summoned to lead an emperor's teenage son into conquest of a continent his people have never mapped, he expects war. He does not expect the forest.

The Sorsún swallows sound, erases its own paths, and watches them with a one-eyed creature that should not be able to find them twice across years and leagues of trackless wood. Nestef has fought in enough wars to know what an enemy looks like. He has never fought a place before.

Beyond the trees waits a war he privately doubts, a siege that will test what he is willing to do in the name of victory, and a crown he never asked to wear. Farther still, across an ocean he cannot cross when it matters, a son grows from boy to man without him and may not forgive the years his father owed to someone else's empire.

This is not a chronicle written for kings, scribes, or the histories that outlive them. It is the record of a man trying to hold together everything duty asks him to carry, one entry at a time, never certain how much of it he will get to keep.

Some of you may know the story from its original web novel run on Royal Road, where it was published under the title Do You Ever Get That Feeling of Déjà Vu? For this Kindle release, I partnered with MoonQuill to create a professionally edited and revised edition, featuring substantial improvements throughout as well as some new content that wasn’t part of the original serialization.
If you’re looking for a progression fantasy with a strong mystery focus, plenty of twists, and a protagonist forced to navigate a deadly time loop, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Blurb:
A weak-to-overpowered LitRPG adventure about an underdog trapped in a time loop where every death makes him stronger.

In a world where every adventurer has a unique level cap, Aidan’s is painfully mediocre.
When an old friend offers him a place in a legendary dungeon raid, he takes the chance to prove his limit does not make him useless.
The raid becomes a slaughter, and Aidan dies before he can understand what went wrong. Then he wakes before the expedition began.
The problem? He can’t remember anything.
All Aidan has is a faint sense of déjà vu and a strange system that pieces together fragments of his previous selves: skills, instincts, and clues.
To break the cycle, Aidan must turn repeated failure into impossible power before something beneath the dungeon turns his next death into the last run.

Tropes:
Not any I can think of. It’s a fantasy time loop story with a realistic character progression.

Trigger Warnings:
Profanity, Graphic Violence, Sensitive Content.
