Last time, I received a review like this in RoyalRoad.
Well, I'm just laughing and ignoring such reviews. But then, I noticed that lately, my stats in that site eventually dropped to nothing. Well, I kind of expected such development, since I've received that kind of treatment in that site before. The only difference this time is that I'm determined to stay.
Now, I'm aware of the saying 'sex sells' and how effective it is in luring readers to your work. However, aside from my goal to create a purely adventure work (I'm inspired by Tolkien, among others), I'm the kind of author that doesn't throw sex around freely. I mean, I'm not against smut in stories, but I prefer smut (should I decide to include it) to be meaningful to the story.
My only question is, am I--and similar authors out there--still have a place in online publishing nowadays?
Take note: I'm just asking a legit question, not fishing for sympathy. I'm planning to tell the feedback to my co-authors and students.
