What is your collection to views ratio?
- Edited
For my oldest novella, 17,000 reads to 3 collection. Compared to newest book (BIANCA: The ChatBot That Never Was), 26,000 reads to 1 collection.
My own guess is because my newest is a lot more ... libertine ... in its approach. It's a dystopia still, just of a much nearer future.
The interesting bit to me is more the demographics.
Ah that's why! I was imagining something way darker about why my demographics are what they are.
SarahWeaver6 Yeah I wonder about demographics too. At first my tree and world story had different demographics, but now they’re sorta similar, possibly from reader crossover.
Speaking of which, the collections have been fluctuating and sometimes they tie. Still waiting for the day that the tree overtakes the world one, but I guess the latter is trying to stay on top. Just when I think that the tree will jump ahead in the tie, it doesn’t. Poor baby world is struggling haha! XD

Sorry, I used your book as an example poorly.
However, because you asked, the novel listed two men in the introduction of a [BL] novel.
So, because you added [BL] in the title and as your first tag, it gave me that impression.
From what you're describing, BL is a side plot rather than the main plot, but that is not how it came off when {I} saw it.
I did not add that I only read the Synopsis. However, my post was more about why LGBT is not mainstream rather than your book itself.

Chryiss Yea in my case, because I write about Neo-Colonialism, I was worried people were drawn to my work because of their shared French / Spanish colonial heritage.
Turns out it was something totally innocuous: Apparently Philippines really like Manga actually.
Without going into specifics, even though I consider myself a Francophile, in this context of colonialism I have more of an emotional connection to the colonized.
I'm a bit of a paradox that way.
SarahWeaver6 Filipinos seem to be everywhere on the internet. I encounter them a lot. XD They’re quite aware and into various things around the world.
Today's ratings are:
Condemning the Heavens - 38k views, 208 collections: 183:1 (55 chapters)
Blue Phoenix - 34k views, 108 collections: 315:1 (78 chapters)
Overthrowing Fate - 15k views, 74 collections: 203:1 (43 chapters)
Chryiss Maybe some of them will run a Genre awards page more sensibly.:P
SarahWeaver6 Genre awards page?
Chryiss Wattpad used to have shady genre awards pages that would just die without explanation. One of my books was once listed on a Literary group before the group died.
I'm still not sure if the Literary pick was just a fluke, or if there is something to it.
But going to pursue Cyborgs And Paladins regardless.

My worst is going strong. While I'm unclear where the semi decent increase in views comes from it's rock solid at 10 collections. So, at 10 collection and 68k views it clocks in at a brutal 6800:1.
My set goal at 10K:1 is within reach :D

Wow. I was gone for too long that I have forgotten to update my ratio here.
Minecraft: A New Beginning Ratio 380:1
Totally forgot my last ratio so I'm not really sure if my ratio got worse or improve but I'm still happy with having 1500+ collections.
I was going to follow you, but I feel like I should not at this point.
But, from what I have read, your novel is not that bad. Why don't you edit the start a bit?
