Language: English Prologue Leah had always believed that rejection was something people eventually got used to. She was wrong . . . There was some rejections that were small–a forgotten invitation, an unanswered message, a seat left empty beside her. And then there were the ones that stayed with you . . . Leah counted them . . . One . . . Two . . . Three . . . By the time she reached ninety-nine, she had stopped counting the tears. Nobody at school knew what happened behind the smile she wore every single day. Not her best friends. Not her teachers. Not even Leo. Especially not Leo. Leo was the most popular boy in school. Confident, Talented, and Annoyingly Proud. He also happened to be one person Leah wished would notice her. What she didn’t know was that Leo had already been noticing her all along.

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 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
