What Services Do Original Web fiction Authors Need to Succeed

Not falling in the trap of frequent updates. 

You explained all the things an Editor does lol 

You need need to set an actual goal or main enemy or whatever, not something far away that everyone will forget about, but something that's constantly here, maybe something that the whole story is built around.
If I ask someone about your novel, he should be able to make a short summary of what it's about, don't make it so convoluted that no ones knows what you're doing anymore.
But more importantly, plan your story a bit before writing it down. Too many authors just start on a whim. Take your time, you don't have to publish the first chapter the second you're done writing it, maybe write a few chapters for yourself first.

Then again, maybe I'm wrong, I just think that's how I'd go about it.

Yes,  I intentionally made the above grammatically incorrect for humorous reasons!

Qidian Data, this is what other people can see, authors can view their own data in the "Author Backstage".
Generally speaking, the most important thing is the growth trend of the number of collection. Specifically, I am not very clear, different authors have different estimation methods.
It's not very accurate, a book I know has a high collection and fans number, and the trend is normal, but the subscription number of the first day failed to exceed 10K. Nobody knows why, he didn't hire any “Online Water Army”, otherwise, the data will show an "Exception", but that's what happened. 

If that would help.
In fact, authors can predict the number of subscriptions to a book by data, but they can't predict why a book will be successful.
Those closely involved cannot see clearly, maybe. 

Thank you very much. I would love to hear more from you since I am looking to provide services to help authors be successful eg proofreading and developmental editing.
If you don't mind me picking your brain a bit.
Cheers! 

Well, the goal of this thread is to find out what needs there are and what services I could offer to fulfill that need
I know they are different levels of editing eg line editing, copy editing and developmental editing https://blog.bookbaby.com/2016/04/type-book-editing-need/
A lighter editing job should work even if the cultures clash.
Having someone to ask tough questions is a must I believe eg where are you going with this character, is it necessary? 

Of course matching editors with authors would be a ton of work. Mostly because editing still requires a ton of effort and you don't get much out of it unless you are paid. So the ones generally who help edit are fans who want early access or the like.

That said, even basic proof readers would be a huge step up for many authors. 

I also think constantly marketing ones work, will build up an audience.

Or getting your book/story recognized by notable outlets.  

Success is dependent on what you believe. If you think that having 10 readers is a success, congratulations.

Not being cynical, just pointing out, that having direction on where your story goes is entirely up to you.

If you want to reach a wider audience, post your work, publish your work to as many platforms you feel comfortable with.  Have other people share your work and it will be like a trickle effect. 

Thanks a bunch.
From all the feedback I have gotten, it will be a monumental task since using volunteers for such a thing wont work
Instead I will simply offer a la carte book publishing service. Basically, your unedited web novel becomes a light novel or an edited published ebook or comic 

奈何笑忘川 is an online novelist I know, he started writing online novels at the beginning of 2018. At that time, he had been reading Internet novels for more than ten years and he was working on a very boring and poorly paid job. The novel 《我老婆是重生大BOSS》, average number of subscriptions was about 3K, made him feel that he could write full-time.
But his second novel 《姐姐有妖气》 was forced to end early because of some "inappropriate plots", .
After a period of rest, he began to write his third novel 《捡到个女帝》, this book almost completely reproduces the idea of his first book, in his own words, it was "making dirty money". Because he only wanted to copy the success of his first book, and he didn't have any passion when he wrote it.
But he failed, average number of subscriptions was about 1.5K, he didn't even have the money to pay Social Security.
With the help of a group of author friends, he began to try to create a new novel, 《我怎么就火了呢》. This is his last attempt, because he is an only child. His parents were only workers, and after two successive failures in supporting the family by writing books, he had difficulty bearing the strange eyes of relatives and friends.
This time he thought that his passion in writing was no less than that in writing his first novel, and like his first novel, this novel is full of new ideas.
His first day subscription was close to 15K, average number of subscriptions is about 13K. From all angles, he succeeded.
I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but he really succeeded: A young man, relying on his own efforts and passion, did not give up easily after setbacks, and finally succeeded.
But he's just an example, that's all.
Some people work harder than him, some people are more passionate than him, some people are more amazing than him… But none of them succeeded.
In fact, network novel creation, like any industry, you do not have a certain reason for success. But I know that if you don't make the most basic efforts, you will not succeed. (Unless your father is the CEO of Qidian)
Oh, by the way, the above is what you need to consider after choosing a good website. Websites that are rarely pirated(Faloo,  Hbooker, etc. ) are better suited for an author in some ways than Qidian, if you don't think about popularity and only care about income.
