Deep in the heart of the impenetrable rainforest lies the tropical kingdom of Junipitrois. Serene and beautiful, the kingdom has lived at peace and comfort for as long as any of its residents can remember. But Shire-Jynn Arisfyre, a young explorer from the outskirts of the nation, senses otherwise. After uncovering a potentially disastrous plot and having been met with nothing but disbelief, Shire-Jynn sets out on a perilous journey to save not only their kingdom but their entire empire from destruction, unaware of the deadly forces which lie in their path. extra tags: queernormative, quest-driven fantasy, no magic, semi-fantastical biology, they/them protagonist, mild violence and gore this fic will be rewritten at some point after I finish it, as it's been in the works for a number of years and I've outgrown the writing style of earlier chapters. that is to say, the prose improves as you read so don't take chapter one as it is!

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.
