Can't hurt right?

Nice! :D

However, you spent the entire tiktok saying nearly nothing about your book! xD
Especially on TikTok, you've gotta come out of the gate strong.

Are you saying reading a passage isn't enough???

No, especially not one that describes the start of our own universe as well as most others. You have loads of unique and interesting aspects that could serve as hooks to draw interest. Don't be afraid to spoil a few things from early in the story. They aren't spoilers, but teasers! You could touch on Azonne as the last chosen getting her planet destroyed and fleeing to earth to find help. Or Roxanne living through the walking dead only to be thrust into a billion-year conflict. Maybe the power of the ring and how it kept the universe secure for so long but now the stakes are raised and it has to guide a completely new person. I'm even being pretty vague here but the more specific the better probably. xD

Great points, thank you!

I'll also add a trick I read about re: TikTok. Apparently, some clever clogs use songs that are trending on TikTok already so the algo will push the ad with the song to the front. 

Not sure how well it works (I won't touch TikTok), but I hear it's a thing. 

Good luck!

It’s a cool video! Where can I read your comic books in full? Do you have a special webpage for that?

TikTok and youtube are filled with tons of illiterate people. why do you even assume people are going to read it?

No comics right now, just novels. Just click the link in my sig :) Related artwork I post to twitter and my patreon.

I think that, given that this is TikTok, a place where users need more stimulation and have less attention spans, you may want to add more visuals, especially at the start. You have 1 second to make them interested or else they'll swipe away 

For your video in TikTok to get a lot of views, you should interest the viewer in all sorts of ways: music, event, intriguing news, popular topics, etc. Look at the videos that get millions of views and likes. They're mostly short and meaningless videos, aren't they? So either make short trending videos or use a service to buy subscribers to TikTok, like https://enforcesocial.com/buy-tiktok-folllowers . Engage your viewer within one second, and your video will get more views if you can do that.
