You have to upload the artwork for your paperback and go through the various wizards to prep it and make it available for sale. Amazon won't do this for you, but it's relatively painless.

That said, I've sold zero paperbacks on Amazon despite thousands of digital copies, so I don't suggest paying DTB too much attention

Welcome aboard!

It doesn't work the other way unfortunately. If you post 1000 words, then edits bring it down to 100 words, the story only pays for 100 words, not the original 1k

Dog

Can you make it more thriller-ish?

The Lesser King
Better suited to LOTR
The Lord's Shepherd
kind of screams 1940 salvation / lost sheep Baptist reprisal

Backing away from the choices for a moment, you might be handcuffing yourself on titles by trying to join up Connor. A more accessible foray treats a wider sample of characters.
Here are the premise questions in the version I read.
a) Search ( a-1) For Christ in Connor. (a-2) for abducted child
b) Choice. eg Antonio vs lover or Campagna vs alcohol. Both of these might traditionally be considered wrong, so choice= 7 deadly sins.
c) AC. This term is the elephant in the room that will be challenging to use in a unique title
If I do not err, the above three are the central themes.If so, may I offer:
Connor versus the AC
Of course this could be considered deceptive, but more so than anything else? Most laymen assume Return of the Jedi is about Luke.
Scion of the Endtimes
kinda bland. I'd initially thought of Child of the Endtimes, but I bet that's been done to death.
Seven deadly choices series
This one is a lot of work, but doable over three books.
Don't use any of these... I'm just brainstorm examples of detaching from the MC

Didn't rly notice it. As I recall, the cannon doesn't have a huge footprint going forward, so it may be a waste of energy to chase the terms around

I think I should switch tracks back to my "main" story. I'm a whopping 25 chapters ahead of TNBW in my revisions there.

It will take me about 80 chapters to bring this beast to heel, which will probably land at a monstrous footprint of 250k words. Word-count is irrelevant, however. I plan to drip this as a serial when going to Amazon, maybe 2 chapters per week? At that rate, I already have 15 weeks of posts. Once I hit 52 weeks, I should be safe to start posting.

I'd rather have the complete revisions done up so I don't have any deadline/guillotine swinging over my neck

which story are you working on these days? Seems like Connor edits?

I wish to present my original theorem that we all get kicked off, not just the one mod

I was kicked off too

If by this question you ask were they a specific race, then yes mine were the "Eldren". They were typically 4D beings, and kind of immortal galactic rulers, and somewhat hostile if not indifferent to the mains.

They could slip out of the 3D ("plane" if you will) and observe from outside. It was impossible to withhold secrets as they could necessarily see anything they choose to look at such as the inside of a safe. No walls could stop them should they choose to introduce themselves right into the heart of your fortress. They could also duplicate themselves, if you can picture a 3D person folding a 2D space so he intersects it twice, thus appearing in two different places to a 2D creature.

To counteract their power, I made gravity harmful to them and upped their energy requirements so they need hot stars and will gradually freeze in the deep orbits. This essentially keeps them off Earth-like worlds, giving my cast some breathing room
