From what people have written here anything above 1000:1 is pretty poor performance as far as retention goes.

Yeah, that means I'm the king of piss poor performance :D

Given your numbers above, if the two stories with 4k+:1 have less than 100k views you're basically writing them only for yourself. Assuming you're actively writing more than one story (as in not yet finished), I'd personally axe those two in favour of the others. Possibly axe the 2000:1 as well.

The main reason I just laugh off 17000:1 (yep, seventeen thousand views per collection) is because I finished that story 2005, so it was only a matter of republishing it here.

    StenDuring That is, at 4371.43: 1

    4842.5: 1

    better to finish them, and focus on those with more collections and views?

    As previously mentioned here https://forum.webnovel.com/d/34886-how-long-does-it-take-to-reach-a-million-views-for-an-original-novel/34

    that the main productivity is 3500 words per day, every day, for 1-2 months and also according to that list. Views easily gain 50k per month!

    That is, the main thing is not even the story itself, but the ability to write a lot?

    Well, I get it, thanks, your advice helped me. Now I will try to finish these stories and pay more attention to those stories where they read more and more subscriptions. I needed this advice! Respect!

      Heh!

      What do you like these numbers? 32:1

      Obviously a one chapter short story with a low number of collections, but still :D

        Ratio to date = 538:1

        I think my contracted story has done its dash and died a slow death. The poor Sunflower has dried up with interest :laughing: Regardless, I'll have to finish by April to satisfy my own catalogue plans.

        Kind of was expecting Sunflower to have a modest run, so it's cool.

        It's had some cool readers who've supported its journey. That's my biggest win on this contract author stint. Sunflower readers have been awesome. Yep. You heard me. We have some excellent reader peeps here. Big up respect for all their comments and encouragement. I'd feel this contract experience would be a failure if I didn't receive the reader support it has received. Fingers crossed. I've never had reason to delete one review since everyone has been kind and constructive with feedback. Feeling blessed to be honest. And I hope I don't jinx myself. 😖

        Veronica8 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.

        Thank you fo sharing

        Update on my book Rekka's Last Stand from a month ago!

        It now has 39k views and 25 collections, so 1,560:1 compared to 150:1 from when I first started out.

        Currently, my novel for the 104 WC has a ratio of 10.7k:14, or 764:1.
        tbh, not sure if that's good or bad. I rarely check the ratios lol.

        Went from a 1:400 to an almost 1:2000 Did nuffing, just continued the story ;__;

        Update on OP Paladin and the new novel OP Dungeon:

        OP Paladin [193] (130k Views/672 Collections)
        OP Dungeon[140] (41.5k Views/296 Collections)

        They are both new so it should be interesting to see if they manage to stay below 1:200 or not.

        My Attack Stat is Negligible.... (219K Views/332 Collections) - 660:1

        I didn't contract it and never bothered to promote. Writing it for fun and for people that like weird JP light novels so ¯\(ツ)/¯ .

        I have just reached 1 million views on my main novel.

        shoots confetti cannon

        For some magical reason my slow AF slice of life has reached a million. Current stats are 1million/1686 soooo like 595:1

          To My Sunflower - 539:1

          Not expecting much more readership with my story. Happy to write it off.

          Although, this story is aligned to what we're experiencing with corov. I guess the hardships and having to be restricted on rations.

          Heh!

          Short story 31:1. Well, only one chapter, so basically no views. 2183 and 70 collections. But, hey, still looks good with that ratio :D

          Main story trudges on at 1031:1. That's pretty awful I guess. Still, it's the one with over 1M views.

          One finished story at an epic 19333:1. I have high hopes of seeing it break 20K views per collection ;)
