hey ! i appreciate you reading ilysm!! honestly my biggest advice is just persevere and celebrate the little wins - when lover hit 100 reads i bought myself a little something to say well done. even if you feel like your going nowhere get those chapters out someone will read them and enjoy them. ive found my social media fics did better than my other kind of fics so maybe that can help, honestly tho girl just keep trying i know it can be tough but if you want it you should strive and work to get there - i promise the work will be worth it. good luck i hope ur reader rates pick up soon <3
