Is it possible for an author's first book to be popular?
If I were to publish a book, is there any chance for it to become very popular? let's assume is a good book, would it go unnoticed for being an author's first book or does it entirely depend on the book?

of course debuts can do well if they're good. Some of it will also depend on marketing and genre, but there's nothing stopping a first novel from being a smash.

J.K. Rowling's debut novel was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It was pretty successful.
