Zaldizko {BL} Ratio 315:1↑1
Done & dusted :grin:

    Only 4 chapters. Collection is 9 and views 1652. I wonder what that indicates? I can't post a chapter a day but a chapter in 2 days.

      RenuKakkar 183:1 Loosely, it means that from 183 views, 1 person added the book to their library collection. Of course, this calculation isn't an exact science, but it's the best thing we have so far.

        Veronica8 Kind of unrelated. By I'm toying with the idea of submitting Zaldizko for featuring again. More for the fact I want to test the system and see if BL Action/Adventure can hack the Fangirling of the Romance genre.

        Actually... :eyes: had a scary thought of being mobbed by anti-fans. On second thoughts, I'll hold on to my obscure innocence.

          Um, not to take away from the thrills of swap reviews. This is a special thread for talking about book stats, how book is ranking or even marketing of book.

          If you're after swap reviews, I have this nice big list one could work through Swap Review Thread List

          One off swapping and shameless promotion is probably okay. Maybe if we can stay on topic about ratios and book trending in this thread would be nice.

          Thanks all.

          I just checked ranking of original novels. Ranking is up till 999. Others coming after 999 are without ranking. I saw my novel way down (rank 1486).

          Collection is still 10 and views 2271 ratio would be 1:227.1 Nothing much to write home about.

          Alliosis Just as said that, here’s another with a lot of collections. XD

          How does one even get that many? Or rather, the exposure to get there? For me, I’m pretty 80% of my collections came from review swaps and a handful of random people in forums getting curious because I’ve been more active/people also picking it up from my newer contest novel.

              Chryiss I don’t really know🤷‍♀️😅 and I’ve been wondering how review swaps work, I think that u may know a lot since I literally see you on every thread so you may be more familiar with this?🙇‍♀️ It’s my first time doing a review swap 😭😓 Please could you help me out 🙇‍♀️

                  RenuKakkar Okay sure, but it’s my first time doing a review swap and I don’t write reviews that often so please bear that in mind😅😓, I’ll check out ur novel as soon as possible, I’ve been rather busy lately😅

                    Chryiss dunno. I'm on a small number too. Ironically, gaining more collections than views these days. Seem scrappers are done with me. Readers are waiting for more, maybe an ending to start reading. I aim to have 90% Sunflower done over break. Getting into it now.

                      Angelyay Terms (like how many chapters you’re going to read and the depth of the review) varies between the two people involved, but basically you give a review on someone’s story and that person in turn reviews your story.

                      Reviews talk about the story in general, sometimes split into plot, characters, and writing. Say what you thought was good, needs to be improved, and maybe suggestions how to improve it. Usually people just talk about the story in general and what they like/dislike.

                      Most people don’t read all the chapters posted when they review. The norm is around 5-10 I suppose. Personally, I think anything less than 20 is pointless but eh, my opinion. Ofc, new stories usually have few chapters.

                          It's time to start keeping track of my stuff since I've been stressing about this. My fetus self would love to get contracted one day. How on earth do I get more collections and views help.

                          Peerless Doctor: The Rise of a Phoenix 137:1
                          47.7k/348
                          21 Chapters

                          Lightning Descends by Her Will 72:1
                          8189/113
                          5 Chapters

                          Crowns are for the Heroines 72:1
                          1880/30
                          2 Chapters

                            Hyowha

                            359k view / 669 collections = 537:1

                            Is that good or bad or normal? The higher the ratio, the better? Or the lower it is the better?

                            I don't know how the view thing works in relation to the collections, and I've basically just been keeping track of collections and votes. Views are beyond my understanding. I mean, I know it relates to people viewing a chapter but other than that?

                            ¯_(ツ)_/¯

                                PsyberRose Lower numbers of views is what you'd be wanting. 10:1 would be God numbers, meaning that for every 10 views, one person added the story to their collection. That's roughly every single person who looks at the book. Of course, don't know any story that has reached 10:1. So, 100: 1 is better than 200:1.
