When the whole world is trying to kill you, you better start running.It's a regular day when Robert wakes up to find his face plastered all over the internet. It takes him a couple minutes to figure out what's going on: he's been chosen to be hunted by the entire world. And he has to find a girl he doesn't know to save himself.The only problem is she could be anywhere in the world.So Robert is in a precarious situation. He has to find someone while hiding his face from the public. If he shows he face? People he's never met before will try to kill him.How he plans to find her still hasn't been considered. For now he just needs to run.

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 5–9 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
