Veronica8 true 😁😁 there are too many reasons for collection drop. Sometimes I also added first before reading. If it's not my cup of tea, I will remove it from my library. I reckon other people would also be like that.

    missoline87 Me too. Everyone has their own preferences. It's all good. I'm also thrilled that my outer package (cover + blurb) was enough to entice interest. That's a big win for me too :grin:

      Does anyone here have idea how the novels get featured? I am writing regularly. My word count is also > 1k per chapter. Do they randomly select people or how? I see many novels with hardly 5-10 chapters, no cover, no rating also getting featured. My ratings are also ok, thanks to the support of many of you. Why can't my novel be featured?

      P.S. Mine was featured just once and never after that .... 😞😞😞

        niharikabhol Many a time people just add it to their library and keep it there to read it in future. They forget about it and all of a sudden pick it up one day and binge read it:) So don't worry that might also happen.

        Sometimes people drop it after reading a few chapters. It's a phase every author faces.

            MishaK Yeah I get that now. Actually I have just recently started with my novel. And I don't have much idea how webnovel works. So when I was worried I thought I could ask you guys. Thanks for helping me out.

                honestly speaking, i rarely experience collection dropping cause:

                1. it's prolly stuck in their library and there's a probability that 60% aren't reading the novel at all
                2. it can easily be mistalen as a translated novel they're not in the mood to read
                3. it's not yet time for library cleanung
                4. the number collections i have is too low

                niharikabhol Trending is by PM a mod in the Discord Server and asking for it. Daily Updates is Random.
                But sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not. For the Daily Updates, past the 10k? 20k? 25k? words necessary, it is a free-for-all. Trending is for not contracted (at least was a few months ago) and asking a mod in the Discord Server (found here https://discordapp.com/invite/AeYDMQw ).
                Rest like Lady Pick, New to Webnovel and such (everything above Trending) is for contracted novels only. That's why you will see "Flowers Bloom from Battlefield" like, every day.
                As for ratio don't worry too much. It can go up and it can go down. But if you keep writing, in the end, all the readers that would have liked your novel will find it, today or maybe in a month.

                  Zaldizko {BL} Ratio 383:1↓6 from last post.

                  I've gained some awesome reviews that made some shiny stars to appear next to the title. A happy cat :grin:

                    Been a while since I last posted, but nothing much as changed. How does one get collections? I’ve only had two people drop after I didn’t update for a while, but besides that, I’m basically stuck under 20 collections even though I’m almost at 18k views.

                    Ratio is at 1193:1. I don’t think my story is bad or weird lol, but why am I consistently getting 4-500 some views a day but not a single collection? Literally getting only 1 collection every several days. I don’t really promote it anywhere, but even during the short period I did, nothing much changed. (Very grateful for the review swaps though.)

                    Anyone have any idea why?

                      Chryiss I'm not sure myself why views can be higher. Dodgy algorithm? It sounds like people are reading, but not adding to collection. I recall some post mentioning views tally when a reader scrolls down at least 3/4 of the page for a click to count. I could be wrong.

                          Veronica8
                          Yes, either that or I’m a failure at hooking people since it looks like I have the lowest ratio even after over a month. :’)

                          It’s ok though, I still love writing the story.

                              niharikabhol I think you just post them like normal but within a few minutes of each other, but make sure you release each chapter in order. Webnovel doesnt let you reorder the chapters, so it’ll be a pain to have to delete the chapters then repost them.
