I will roll them on steem-engine, for it offers great tools, and there's a team you can contact in case something goes out the window of predictable. As for the rest, it seems like you are differentiating everything, when in fact it's a whole.

What does the author need?

• See how popular his novel is, get comments & interact with readers,
• Sell copies of his books, freebies related to his books, and sell goodies related to his book,
• A cover artist, a proofreader, beta-readers, and an editor.

What do I provide? A webnovel platform, running on steem indeed, so the people on steem can upvote the chapters they like) which has build-in features necessary for all kind and type of authors,

This platform features:

• a reading space for readers, and a place for an author to receive comments,
• selling space for authors, where they can put their paper version of the book, but also goodies for sell, as to make more out of the books on the platform, also those items serves well for promotion,
• a cooperative space to get the necessary illustrations, translation, beta-reading, etc.

Basically, it's an all-comprising platform dedicated to people who read/write novels, webnovel, poetry, theater plays, etc. It's all centered around the authors, hence Future Writer Vision, as it allows to make a career out of writing.

People come to read, but when the book/author has a fan base, he needs to cater to this fanbase, and tend to their needs, organizes seances, and so on. So while the website will focus on the author/reader relationship, it will give tools so that this relationship can be kept, and the author can augment/create his fanbase better.

That also includes a tool to warn readers of new chapters, new freebies givens, new goodies put for sales, and so on.

The novels, comment, etc run on steem, thus are decentralized, the shop & other parts that would only bloat the blockchain will useless information, will be on our server. Of course, all of this will be either paid in steem or in tokens, but we'll open also some direct fiat canals for those who don't have easy access to steems or tokens.

My vision of the platform is global, it sees the job of an author as a whole and mutualizes the base readership/fanbase of each author so that every author will add value to the whole platform, benefitting each of his kins, as those who like a genre will likely like books of other authors in the same genre. As a result, on the website, you can read all kind of writings, even essays, posted by authors, and you can put in favorite a given author, allowing you to access a space where the author can have a privileged relationship with its readership.

Clustering the novel, sale space, and fan-caring space into different platforms isn't pertinent when all of this is clearly linked and should be accessed in a few clicks on the same place.
