Your novel may be well-written. I wouldn’t risk a guess. All I know is the worst writers I’ve ever met have also been the most convinced they were God’s gift to literature.

That said, I can sympathize. Selling a story is hard, and luck is a huge factor. If the next Hemingway is out there, they’re probably getting sick of hearing “sorry, this story didn’t work for us. We wish you the best in placing it elsewhere.”

So many great authors don't make it big. So many mediocre authors do make it big. Same with musicians...really all artists. It's depressing how many profound works and minds have been drowned and lost in the chaos of humanity and making a living.

I mean... easiest way to tackle this is to name the novel and let us judge.

In all seriousness though. Going viral has precious little to do with quality. It all boils down to luck. I do cosplay, I have a set of LED eyes that I have full control over, I can emote so well I put a vtuber to shame, and this is real life before your eyes. I'll run around as the black mage from ff1

Took 5 years to go viral on Twitter and get an article written on adafruit. Go to any con and you'll see comics and books trying to sell out of booths. Have you ever purchased one on a whim? Or do you just walk by?
