It also my first try to create a series here, and I’d love to hear your feedback.
I didn't realised that it took so long to get published. I posted ch 3/4 in rush and got some errors. The fix updates were submitted but haven't been published yet. So, mercy please.

Lessons learned:
proofreading... proofreading... proofreading... submit the story like it's going to be printed.

Ch 1 got about about 7k views so far since 10th Sept.
Ch 2 got 1/3, may because there's no any sex in it.
Ch 3 got 1/2 views and fewer stars for my errors.
Ch 4 got 1/3 views and a sudden drop of the stars in the first week. I guess because the mother and her son got a child at the end and that triggered someone. So...
Trigger Warnings: Birth Scene

I would like to hear about the literotica meta from other authors.

Welsh readers may find that the song in the story was based on a traditional Welsh song “Ei Di'r Deryn Du?” (Will You Go, Black Bird?). You can find it on YouTube. Highly recommend listening to it while reading this book.

Here's a tip from a professional editor: use the Read Aloud feature (or the equivalent text-to-speech option in the word processor of your choice). It's mind-numbingly boring, but if you do it properly - focus, watch the highlight jump from word to word from start to finish - you'll catch 99% of your typos. As an added bonus you'll also see where you've repeated words and phrases too often, and you'll even get a sense of the rhythm of your language.

The accepted wisdom is that the second chapter in a series will receive about 1/4 to 1/2 of the views of the first chapter. Readers who haven't read the first instalment simply aren't as likely to click on anything that says "Ch. 2". The good news is that the readers who return to the second chapter after reading the first are more likely to score you higher. The process repeats for every single chapter: fewer views, better ratings.

These things are regular topics of discussion over in the Authors' Hangout, so maybe head over there occasionally.

Good luck!

Great storytelling. The third chapter depicting the mating between the mother and son is the most arousing part. Just a small thing is that for a boy to be with his mother for the first time isn't going to last till eternity.

That's a good point. Thanks!

Most of the stories tell that the boy is too excited about his first time and can't process the feeling that finally his dream is coming true

There was neither sex education nor internet in the first century, so the boy didn't have any expectation.
Considering the sex was after a hand job and got many distractions, I will give the duration a pass.

That's a great tip! My problem is that I feel so embarrassing to listen to my own writings.
