    I'm writing a novel, and after browsing on this site for a while, it seems there is a general consensus to post on Royal Road and Scribble Hub. But from what I understand, the genres those sites consist of is mostly Isekai or LitRPG. I'm not sure if it'll get attention if I post it on Royal Road, and I've tried sites like Wattpad in the past, which I hated due to sheer number of teenage girl romance stories lol and I've heard web novel is bad so...do I have any other option?

    Btw, I'm not sure what genre my novel would fall under, but if I had to describe it I guess it would be a mix of Shounen and Seinen...(Seinen because mature themes). I know those aren't technically genres but thats the closest I can come up with.

    Just post on scribble hub. It isnt really just for isekai or something.

    It might even have a big feedback since your work might be different.

    here’s an whole debate(some nice drama ahem) I was reading a few weeks ago
    It’ll help you kinda differentiate between scribble and royal

    tho looking at the original poster from that thread you maybe also want to consider reading his 3rd point but at the same time all other posts after it. tho the final decision is up to you

    good luck :cookie::blobhero:

    If it's a good novel, it'll get attention whether or not it's isekai or lit rpg. There are some novels that I read there that aren't really either of the genre, yet still fun to read. Dunno any other writing sites cept for RRL and scribble hub. Royal road seems to have a more experienced audience, but its your choice:blobhighfive:

    Wow, goodluck! Wattpad, Royal Road, Scribblehub are the best options I think, and personally I think Web Novel is decent too. There are also some translation pages/ group that creates their own novels and post it in their websites. Also, Wattpad got the fastest accumulation of readers, I think.
