Dunno what you're smoking. If you want to be a successful webnovel author, step 1 is to write a halfway decent story. Step 2 is to post that shit on every platform available - including the "most popular platform", whichever that is - and begin the most glorious and terrible campaign of viral self-marketing the world has ever seen.
With services like Patreon allowing for unified monetization, the platform(s) you choose to post on are more another form of advertisement than anything else. Unless you sign on to something like Qidian's more restrictive platform, ofc.
Since the OP is asking about JJWXC... I suppose they might end up stuck in a contract with someone. In that case, let's wish them luck and hope their story is good enough to stand out.

If we're talking about Chinese platforms, I don't have much to say. Apart from the obvious repetition of "campaign of viral self-marketing", which I'm sure would be equally effective anywhere in the world, I really don't know how those websites are structured or how an author would go about trying to make their story stand out there. I suspect it involves less "writing a really good story" and more "catering to the current fad and audience" -- which might work well enough on this side of the world, too. Maybe even a bit of "hiring that 50 cent army to spam positive reviews" or something, who knows.

This is sad.
Being an web novel author is not easy.
Using the most popular platform is more detrimental than helpful.
You need to do your research. You are asking at the wrong place.
Contact successful web novel authors directly eg the ones on RoyalRoad or use tapas.io forum.
Maybe I will adapt your novel into a comic in the future
Best of luck to you!
