    Hello to all,

    Sorry if this toppic was probably already discussed.

    I cannot publish novels on amazon KDP, they are blocked. I do not understand how to publish online. Can you please help me, is there another way ?

    Regards

    In February 2023, Amazon terminated the accounts of more than one hundred thousand erotica authors, including the biggest names and biggest sellers in the erotica industry. Before that they prohibited any products containing erotic images so forget about VNs.
    I was going to say we've returned to the Victorian era, but even the Victorians were less hung-up about sex than the US today.

    You could try the usual sites for this genre like Slushe, Rotica or Pixiv.
    Affect3d might also be an option but it's heavily futanari.

    What about steam and itch.io?

    If it's a graphic novel/comic, something like comixology or the duck comics are probably your best bet for hosting online. For an actual visual novel game, itch.io + steam are your best bets.

    Thank you so much. I ve been on thoses sites. It seems that comixology is part of Amazon ? In this case I assume there is no erotic novels ?

    With Repubs in power again in the US, you'll probably see a lot more cracking down on erotica stuff. It won't end here.

    @3dnoob, while Steam is a good option for most be aware that you'll have to bend over backwards to meet their requirements. If you're using music be especially dilligent.

    @peepshow45 i know, haha. But I wasn't asking, just giving a suggestion to the OP, since there's there are many adult VNs on steam. Maybe I should've said "How about" instead of "what about" but i don't know, "how about" also sounds like as if i'm asking a question. English isn't my first language.

    Downside to Steam is that it aint free, its 200$ per ''game'' you publish. Itch has a community where they dont like to download .EXE cuz you dont face consequence for uploading crap there and the community got burned. Be aware of those 2 thing. They can still be good options.
