Hyowha Speaking of no daily updates, has anyone here confirmed that that's required to be featured on the front page? Or just for the "daily updates" category? (The rules for this are like easter eggs...)

      WinterBud as far as I know, you need daily updates, as I talked with edgarry and he said to get on trending I need to do daily updates first, but that may have been only my case.

          WinterBud A base of 50k words written needed and an upload rate > 7 chapters/week. Meaning that past the 50k words, if you have a stable update, you will one day enter the "trending" category. As for daily updates, it is still 50k words and just you posting a chapter. Those numbers are the one given a while ago but should still be relevant.
          Also, the higher you are in the original rank, the better it is I think. There is also a number of ??k words written between two apparitions in the "trending" category but those ?? I have no idea. Probably 25k words I would say, meaning that for two consecutive times, you would write at least a little more than 3.5k words each day.

              Mine is 222:1
              Yeah,life's tough. I'm dealing with it. Kudos to all authors and editors out there(~_~)

                Love_XYZ I'm kinda new, though, so I guess I can't complain too much.

                    Cool thread. I'll give it a go, although my statistical maths is terrible.

                    Zaldizko has 12.1K views to 9 collections.
                    So ratio is 1344:1?
                    It's pretty small-time since it has only been live for a month. I'm open for some readers :smile:

                    To My Sunflower has 6919 views to 25 collections. Only been live since writing prompt #46 two weeks back. Again open for some readers :wink:
                    Ratio is 276:1?

                    I honestly don't know if these numbers are a good indication for this site or not. Probably not since it doesn't really generate too much activity. I can't complain since I've only been here a month. If Anything, the views are telling me my cover and blurb are drawing in the interest at least. I hope.

                      So what is a healthy ratio? There is no comparison with authors who are featured or have very popular novels, but what is the average?
                      I was looking at the posts above and on an average it happened to be somewhere around 230:1
                      What do you all think...?

                        I think the collection will still depend on how often you publish a chapter. A lot of readers will check how often you publish a chapter before adding your book.

                        I published my novel 2 weeks ago. I post 1 chapter per day. 2 if I feel like it.

                        So far I have 112k views and 783 collections.

                        Though my novel is not that good. Hahaha 😂

                          I just started publishing yesterday and I'm at 816 views with 2 collections.
                          Maybe it's because my first chapter is pretty long or maybe it's a garbage start, I'd really just love to hear some opinions honestly. Even one comment would make my day 😊.

                          Even if they just say "you stink man, and story is doo doo bum bum."

                          The silence just makes me feel uncomfortable.

                            42 collections and 13.8k views= 1/309.5

                            I'm not sad, it's only been 15 days since I started writing, but I can do better! >3</
