Image description: The image shows a Kindle e-reader displaying a page of text, likely from a book, with a portion of the text visible in a non-English language. Overlaid on the image are two text boxes with stylized red backgrounds and white lettering. The top text box says, “To combat chatGPT generated books on the kindle store, Amazon only allows users to publish 3 books ~per day.” The second text box sarcastically says, “You know, a totally normal human output,” accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji. There is also a graphic of a skeletal hand with a pink hue pointing towards the text boxes, adding emphasis to the message being conveyed about the volume of publication and questioning its normalcy.

It’s not uncommon for people who got their start on Wattpad and Royal Road to have 3+ novels of material to publish by the time they feel it’s worth it. I suspect this is exactly why the limit was 3 per day tbh, so you can drop a trilogy all together.
That said, there should be daily, weekly, and monthly limits as well. Do something like 3/6/9 and 99% of people will be satisfied.
