His words don't go unheard. He's suddenly ripped from his room and thrust into a shattered, dying world, granted powers. The gods offer him a bargain: succeed in saving this broken realm, and they will bestow upon him authority over countless worlds—enough to fulfill his impossible dream of ending all suffering.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
