I'm familiar with Wattpad and have heard of something called Radish for sharing and reading serialized fiction, but it seems apps and sites like this are flooded with Romance/Erotica or Vampires/Werewolves. Or Vampire/Werewolf Romance/Erotica. I'm uninterested in anything of that sort and wondering if there is a place for serial fiction that fits into other genres. (I'm aware that Wattpad is open to all genres, but it seems too convoluted with romance/erotica. Perhaps it seems this way due to my lack of use of the platform? If I spent more time in it, would I find that to be untrue?)

I'd ideally like to find a platform that is easy to share your work on, build followers and follow other authors, with potential to make a little money off of your writing. I don't expect to make much from my writing but would like the possibility to be there.

So, What platforms are there to post serial fiction? Does anything but romance/erotica survive in this digital self-publishing setting of serial fiction and mobile reads?

If you mind being stuck with just a website (and not a website and app), there is Scribblehub, however the quality of content may not be up to the same standards as something like RoyalRoad. If you absolutely need a mobile app, there is Webnovel.

There are a few nuances though. Scribblehub seems at the time more skewed towards Isekai and other 'light-hearted' genres. Webnovel has a similar skew towards (translated) works written in Asian languages or Asian-inspired works. I can't say much about RoyalRoad, as I do not frequent the site often.

However, if you intend to publish traditionally sometime in the future, publishing on any of theses sites first makes getting a publishing deal difficult, and publishers will likely ask for the online version(s) to be taken down first.
