Author_Shizu I start reading reseantly. I read every chapter when I have a chance. All chapter has a stimulus to the reader to ask for more for the next chapter to release quickly. The author must be genius I thought cause they caught the attention of the reader.... Thank you for making a such wonderful story... Be a blessing to every one....
Do you really read the novel once adding it in your library?
Author_Shizu I'm the kind of reader who stockpiles chapters. I usually wait till there are at least 300-400 chapters, or even until the story is finished, but in the meantime I will keep unlocking chapters. This is especially true for originals because I don't want to start reading a story only to find out later that the author will drop it. So don't worry too much about the lack of interaction, perhaps some readers are just making sure you will finish your story first before they start reading.
Well, I do read them. Sometimes, I forget to read. so, it depends if the story is interesting enough to continue reading. frequent updates help. But i also check out some forgotten novels ...like jun jiuling that havent been updated for ages.
there is hope as long as its in the library, I think.
Another possibiity is that there may be some, who read what they can afford and that is it. I will occasionally look on the homepage for potential reads to start one day, but because I refuse to buy spirit stones, I can only read so much. And truly if I have to spend SS on even one story I can’t do any others.
Another reason would be having too many ongoing stories. I am currently reading about 7 consistently with a few others that release very irregularly but that is my limit.
But I also fall into that silent reader category that occasionally comments. Mostly because it’s a new idea to ‘talk’ to the translator or author as you read, at least for me.

MaTiu My novel is freeeeeeeeee
Lizabelle88 Lol I did once and the next time I updated, I lost the readers I already had because no one commented for a long time
Author_Shizu not really. i have the same case, too. i am even placing quarter of redeem codes per actual chapter to entice them to comment but there is none. (i have only updated the first chapter tho)
Author_Shizu i don't comment unless I have a lit AF comment to leave. So it's understandable that few users leave comments. It also depends on the chapter if there are twists and turns, or something to piss off the readers, then you'll get flooded by comments.
Author_Shizu if it's the number of comments that you want, then just advertise in the forums that people can collect exp from your novel. Then the entire exp sect will arrive and camp at your doorsteps. Hope this relieves your gloominess 
Overlord_Venus Hmm nice idea...
- Edited
Norah_Koch Saaaaame... But I forget to read even the most interesting ones 
I face the same problem and have wondered the same. I find I feel more joy when there are comment. I have loyal following in the comment 5-10 once in awhile on different chapter.So I feel your pain.
What is your novel?
Lord_of_sleep linked
Author_Shizu linked?
I add novels that I like to the library, but read only when I have time.
I have like 30 or so in my library.....
I just like them all...
When will I have enough time to read so much.??!!
So I will read them, Just donno when....
ace_cap I'm like this as well. I'm really sorry dear authors..
I have books in my library that I'm not (yet) reading, but they were too few and most are recently added. I'm the kind of a reader that seldom writes any comment. Why? Because I'm satisfied with the flow of events and the twists and turns. I always always always wanted to see the next chapter and bear my thoughts within my head.
If I am updated with the chapter, all I did is move to another novel to read or browse in the comments section of such novel.
I only write some comments if there was really a need to do so. I oftentimes reply to others though, specially when they're spouting nonsense. Lol.
For me, maybe silence was a good sign maybe the readers were like me who is satisfied with your work and cannot see any loopholes therein and that we're bound to wait for the next update holding well our thrilled hearts. 
ace_cap If this is true for many, it's making me laugh-cry because it makes for a vicious cycle. Reader interaction and/or support would motivate us to continue -- lack of it would discourage many of us. If readers are waiting to see if we'd continue before supporting us... see where this is going? Ahhh...
