Am I incapable of writing a best-selling novel?

I once published one or two original articles on Tieba, but the popularity was very low. I always thought that my biggest criticism was my writing style, but later I realized that this should not be the main point. Below are a few reasons that should be related, hoping to get answers.
1. I like to read novels, but I don't know how to read deeply. Moreover, I only read translated novels. I rarely read domestic novels. I wonder if this is the reason?
2. I don't have much life experience. For example, I write romance novels, but because I don't have any love experience, I can't write sincere feelings. Is that possible? But on the other hand, one didn't have to kill a criminal to understand the psychology of a criminal in a mystery novel, right?
3. When I visited Qidian earlier, I found that the most popular novels had around a few hundred thousand words. However, my completed novels only had around fifty thousand words, and my unfinished novels probably wouldn't exceed a hundred thousand words. Could web novels really not accommodate novellas? Should I write the story in more detail next?
4. It is said that the idea is the most important, but the problem I often encounter is that I have a good idea, but I can't write a good story because the idea is only a general idea, but there are many details when I actually write it. Moreover, my story style is a little like a daily life. I just write out the important plot in my mind. Isn't that not coherent enough?

Answer 1

As a fan of online novels, I can't directly judge whether you have the ability to write a best-selling novel. However, from what you have learned about online literature, if you want to write a best-selling novel, you need to have the following abilities:

1 Storyline: A good story needs to have a fascinating plot, conflict, and climax.

Character Creation: You need to consider your character's personality, background, goals, etc. and give them depth and complexity.

Writing Skills: You need to master writing skills including language, rhythm, etc. to ensure that your novel is easy to read and understand.

4. Originality: A good novel needs some unique creativity to attract the reader's attention.

If you were able to have the abilities in the above aspects and could turn your creativity and storyline into specific novel content, then you might be able to write a best-selling novel. Of course, this also required continuous practice and improvement.
