Slight Revision of New Decade Plans

Based on the less than stellar reception of IKD at Tapread, I've made a snap decision and revision to my New Decade Plan.

I've decided to dedicate Original Music Makes (OMM) series to paperback releases via Amazon.

I've removed this series from all Read-as-Write story sharing sites (e.g. Webnovel, Tapread, Wattpad...).

This series will be revamped as a proper light novel, as originally intended.  I'll also eventually do the same for Seriphyn Knight.

As it's clear that the RaW readerbase isn't working for them. They fair better as traditional paperback where the story  is completed.

These books will be according to the raito noberu standard.

Revised Tapread covers with the new series logo.  I'll need to ensure all books are completed by the end of this year.

Hopefully these work as good click-bait.

I'm Kita Duran is Featured!

Thank you Tapread.com for featuring I'm Kita Duran.  It's a story that has been in the shadows for a long time.  I'm slowly correcting grammar issues as I go.

I'm so stoopid for posting up to chapter 30 without seeing the eyesores. I'm slowly fixing up. Then I'll continue to post the remaining chapters. Fixing the grammar as I go of course.

Happy author. So many good blessings to start the year.

New Decade Plans

Welcome to a new decade! 

Marvellous isn't it?  To be able to live and see a new age of books. 

Over the next few years, I'll continue to work through my brand plans and in progress catalogue as I've mentioned on post Brand Plans.

Adding to this brand plan is a change for the Original Music Makes series. 

Stepping away from traditional ebook distribution. I'll focus solely on paperback releases to Amazon and Rakuten Kobo channels.  

In place of ebook distribution. I've decided to use Tapread as the exclusive online hub for my digital catalogue of works.  This includes the Original Music Makes series. 

From today, I'm Kita Duran will be made available to read in full to Tapread over the coming weeks. 

The book will be removed from all distribution channels once the full Tapread book is live. All paperback versions remain.

When The Fourth Zaldizko is completed.  I'll remove Zaldizko from all ebook distributors and leave the paperback options in place.  This will be over the coming months.

Why did I decide to go with Tapread and not Wattpad or Webnovel for the digital catalogue?

• Wattpad is great for presentation, but niche stories have a hard time finding readers.
• Webnovel is great for readership, but their audience is a singular target. Niche and native English stories do terribly there. It's a hard market to crack as readers are fixated on trends.

Tapread held the best balance of the two.  I do run a risk of placing all my eggs in their basket. Since they are green-bloods to the user content market. So far, I love the presentation and vibe of their site. They continue to aim for professionalism. 

I did consider Royal Road. It doesn't cater for mobile reading. 

That's the plan for this year and the next three.
