_Transcendent Hmm... Things that usually attracts readers the most are:
Amount of chapters you post a week
The cover, and how appealing it is
A synopsis that hooks the reader in, and a first chapter that also does that.

      194k/271 - > 715 . Not really growing but not losing any more. At least, I escaped the hole that could have been the 1k ratio.

      Veronica8 Check out Z book summary. It's towards the bottom beneath the --- ★ --- line. I figured this is the easiest thing to gain from reader commitment.

      Veronica8 What is Quest-a-views?

            scarlett1414 It's a past promotion, I canned it because it wasn't doing anything. Basically, I was asking for readers or anyone/thing to help reach a view count milestone. My short term one, initially, was 200K since I'm up at 137K. I wasn't seeing any takers, so canned the promotion.

            I explain it in detail here

                Another pick me up. I’ve hit 5x my original number of collections before the AB voting. This more than my two other novels combined. 😅😆 Now in total views too, BGNGG:IAK?! (what a beautiful acronym) blew by RELAAT. Big Hit and BTS making leaps where I couldn’t. X’D

                My World To Live - 619:1 --> ↑22
                RE: Life as a Tree - 379:1 --> ↓9
                Big Hit's New Girl Group - 155:1 --> ↑55

                Still not sure if I’m using the arrows right. I have up as meaning the ratio is better, but my math brains yells noooo! 😂

                  Woah it's been a while since I updated so:

                  IEIWE- 114:1
                  Not surprised, considering how I haven't been updating for the past 4-5 days. Too busy revising for exams and working on promotions/chapters for TCR
                  Through Countless Reincarnations- 63:1
                  A massive jump from when I first published it with a measy number of 28 collections. Now, it's dozens of times larger. Considering I'm currently second, this makes perfect sense. I've gotten so many lovely comments and reviews(i'm also rank 148 on power stones :joy: ), I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with how many people are supporting me.

                  Today's batch. Damn. The day I break into the 100, I'll buy pony. Sigh. The life of an Undiscovered Author. I think this term is going to be on my tombstone. I actually saw my collections bleed out. It was weird.

                  New Life: A Second Chance - 709:1

                  Other than the very bad ratio, everything else is fine for me. Readers comment regularly, PStone votes are good (597), Power ranking is 151, Collections steadily rising and is at 1,131.

                  That's why I don't look at the ratio anymore - unless I'm really bored like right now. ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)

                    Hi guys, I know this is for authors to share their view ratio numbers, but could you take a little bit of time to check out 'Letters that make up you' by JamaisXVu please?

                    https://dynamic.webnovel.com/book/13814860306485205

                    This is an original novel that was written by a new author and I just wanted to try to get as many people to notice it because it is such an amazing story! It's the author's first ever novel and they are putting in so much effort to make it an incredible story so please give it love and support, I really want the author to see how much love they're getting for their touching work 🙇 thank you so much and please spread the word. FIGHTING! ❤

                      Different tactic. Since I can't be bothered doing a full list. Going to highlight my Best and Worst of my catalog. Seriously, I thought WP was bad. Getting reads here is like squeezing lemons. Made me lose my motivation for others except the Fourth.

                      Biggest Bomb That Scrappers Love
                      I'm Kita Duran 3.18K:1 ↓625
                      Doesn't get read at all despite daily updates. I figure Realistic Fiction is a low category. This has to be my worst bomb. I'm going to reach 20K words before deciding to pull the pin. If I don't get a reader other than a scrapper. I'm dumping the story.

                      Best of My Grenades
                      Zaldizko 330:1 ↓6 (5) PStones
                      Continues to surprise me with reads. This was my debut here, so it has tenure and still far from being considered popular or successful, but is consistent. Because of this consistency, made me keep my motivation for the sequel. Just.

                      T-The power of BTS.
                      I can’t believe how fast Big Hit's New Girl Group has continued to grow even halfway through the competition. Ratio is 145:1 now, and the views are 1k away from my oldest novel on here of five months.

                      Or rather, is this the power of fanfiction? I find that fanfics get readers almost immediately regardless of the author tenure of Webnovel. Quraduple collections than either of my other two novels....man. I feel overwhelmed and at the same time, did I fail with my other two stories? 😂

                        Chryiss A mixture of an existing fanbase (ARMYs), plus good plot and good writing will make fanfics rocket up to stardom
                        This doesn't mean you've failed with your other novels. Hopefully some readers from your fanfic will love your writing and give your other novels a try too.

                        Even though I haven't updated my main novel in a while, I still gained about 70-90 collections just from those from the BTS fic.

                        Fighting!

                            noctiferu Well I was mostly kidding on the fail part. 😂 As for good writing, I’m not too sure. I don’t consider either of my contest stories as my best. MWTL is technically one I entered into a contest too, but it was with only a few days left, and I didn’t know the rules, so it doesn’t count lol. Fan fics do have advantages where even if the writing is basic, the story can still be popular. I’m not sure how much I’ve gained with my other books from the BTS one, but I don’t think I got that much crossover. They’ve been increasing at their usual rates, so BTS didn’t seem to affect them.

                                PinkCotton Uh, I wouldn’t mind having that many collections any day. 😂 Great job I’d say! The ratio is good too~

                                    JiaLi I used to think the collections were everything too, but don't obsess over it :) I've met people who would rather search for novel titles than add it to their library. lol.

                                    Sometimes, I do that.

                                        Veronica8

                                        Thanks for the kind words.

                                        My stories have, quite frankly, boring covers. Add that they're titled more in line with books made out of paper.

                                        Also, while I like slice-of-life, it's not for everyone.

                                        The story heading for an epic ratio probably has a few more readers than collection. By now it's turning into a gimmick :D

                                        Btw, 9.1k:1. Just 9k view more ;)

                                          Chryiss I haven't updated at all for my other novel lol and i've gotten about a 70-80 increase. The power of ARMYs is scary....love them thoooo we are like a family at times

                                          Whispers I think your writing is lovely. I'm a silent reader of all your novels. Too shy to comment, but I know that your writing is nothing to be sneezed at.

                                            Ahhhhhhhhhh~~~~!!!!!! *Runs around like a chicken

                                            I can’t believe I hit the 500 collections mark. Views surged past my second highest novel too. I feel like a proper Webnovel author now. 😂 But to think that the story would be a fan fic! Lol, I’ll take whatever I get haha!

                                            At the end of this competition, I’m going to screenshot and frame my stats. X’D Thank you BTS! lmfao 😂

                                              Chryiss Congrats! Well, it's not just BTS. Your skills got you in the golden zone. :grin:

                                                Veronica8 Gotta clap for you and your clear vision. :clap: I’m not sure how I would be on dropping stories, but I think it would probably be difficult for me. XD Even with my crappy stories I still like keeping them. But for a portfolio, yeah what you’re doing sounds about right.

                                                Your website reminds me of the one we had to making in a digital marketing class two semesters ago. I chose a writing portfolio website that then turned into an artistic and academic one too. When I say reminds, I don’t mean design-wise. Yours looks more professional for a writing portfolio.

                                                    Chryiss Yay. Thank you. I was hoping that it met the writing vibe. :smile_cat: I'm sad about dropping stories. Especially for TLAM. I realized I couldn't be random with my portfolio, since it's harder to market my books. Keeping to a vision makes it easier to fit them into a likely market.

                                                    I don't actually get rid of the story. Look at Zaldizko, I left that one in an "in progress draft" state back in the early 2000s. So, I know I'll republish TLAM and most likely when it's completed. I'm going to keep updating to it in the background when I have free moments between the others.

                                                      Today's Fixed Batch.

                                                      Dragonieth is my dark horse. Guess, I better dedicate more on this one. I have to sort through my draft junk first. I didn't realize the messy manuscript I left behind when I originally dropped the story years back. Kind of went rock star all over it when I copped a very (cough slightly homophobic) honest opinion from a big wig editor. I don't blame them I guess. I was naive. Looking back at my naive self, I should've seen it as an accomplishment of receiving a non cut/paste rejection letter from the big wig editor.
