What is your collection to views ratio?
Chryiss Really? I usually start of with 4 digits XD. I agree if you're already an established author with a solid following, it's natural for people to instantly check out the new stuff.
I'm happy with my numbers of late. They're not big time, but the consistent read interest is very reassuring. BL itself is a hard sell, so to have people continue to be interested is promising.
My contest ones are still 4 digits, lol! All good, not like I'm really doing anything with them. Just adding to the numbers.
Veronica8
Heh.
I have one that it 4200:1 ;)
My short stories have far nicer ratios, but it kind of doesn't count when collections are counted in single digits.
StenDuring That's the type of numbers my short stories are attracting XD
Shorts: Hmm lemme see.
Exceptional 686 / 5 = 343:1
Those left Behind 1285 / 8 = 161:1
Alarm Clock and Mirror 6813 / 2 = 3406:1 (this one is clearly labelled as a one off joke, so people aren't really supposed to add it to a collection)
Today's batch.
Dragoneth {BL} 385:1↓20
Friday post release here & TapReads.
To My Sunflower {BL} 368:1 ↑9
Saturday post release here & Wattpad.
To Like A Man {BL} 270:1 -
Sunday post release here & TapReads
The Fourth Zaldizko {BL} 440:1↑174
Thursday post release.
Reborn Legacy 2.8K ↓125
Tuesday post release.
Zaldizko {BL} Ratio 316:1↑9
Done & dusted :grin:
Note: Interesting that my only non-BL long-running story isn't attracting reader interest. I guess it's only 11 chapters in, so still early days.

Guys try this out if you want. Genre - comedy and it's short so it'll take 5 minutes. Leave a review with suggestions. Thanks!

eternalotaku Inkstone (computer/online) will tell you how many collections you have; the number is in the same area as where the views and word counts are. On mobile, collections are the number next to the star icon.
Nidalee Pretty good I must say :)
niharikabhol haha thx(:
IEIWE is going at a steady pace~
Surprisingly, after about a week, it's still quite steady. Views are increasing nicely too, about 200-300 per day--which is good considering it's a single chapter
IEIWE: 29-1
7,835 views and 30 collections
Today's batch.
Dragoneth {BL} 407:1↓22

To My Sunflower {BL} 364:1 ↑8
Saturday post release here & Wattpad. Submitting early warning: Hinata's POV is about 4-5 posts away from finishing. I be leaving it half-baked for a long time until Eiji POV catches up. Muwahahaha. :imp:
To Like A Man {BL} 264:1 ↑6
Sunday post release here & TapReads
The Fourth Zaldizko {BL} 518:1↓78
Thursday post release.
Reborn Legacy 2.8K ↓125
Tuesday post release.
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.
now it is 9 collections and 1862 views means 1: 207.

Angelyay Ok. I will review it shortly. I am in my office at present. Kindly see mine too and review.
https://www.webnovel.com/book/13479473305955405/Trapped-In-Time
Angelyay Just reviewed your novel and saved it to my library to read. Kindly review mine also.
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.
Views: 545K
Parts: 26 Chapters,1 Aux
Collections: 1,947+

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.
It’s my first time doing a review swap 
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

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.
