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.

                    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.

                                  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.

                                    Through Countless Reincarnations- 83:1

                                    My views is at 85k. Needless to say, I am quite happy. Gotten a ton of lovely reviews and some threats after I started posting the angsty chapters LOL.

                                    IEIWE- 115:1

                                    Haven't posted this in a while. Should be able to start posting again soon. I miss Wei Mudan.

                                    Veronica8 start a new thread about this. This is too crowded now, I guess... Skimming to the last post kinda takes forever lol

                                        Created a new thread. Same title suffix #2. Can't link to it, sorry. On mobile.

                                          Ever since I got out of the trending, I struggled a bit but still managed to remain above 1:500, doing 1:477 currently with Ergon V.

                                            I can't find the thread so am just informing you here that I have returned the favour.

                                            Sorry it took a bit longer to do it

                                                Hyowha From the future of 2019, its about 150 views below per 1 add, someone replied on another thread that theirs was 121 and 118, theirs was top 100, so if you can consistantly have below 150, yours is top quality. But note that if you are that high im rankings, you will have a lot of guest traffic too, meaning that the real ratio would be higher for those, probably below 100.

                                                    Um... at first I didn't really want to post here, it looks like a little bit of a contest from the one who will have the biggest, but well, I get caught up in the game î_î

                                                    For my first story, I saw 84k views for 700 collections all set. So it's 1:120, not too bad, it seems to me.
                                                    For the second, 100k view for 552 collections is 1:181.

                                                    After that, for now, my only two stories are stories that work what's in guys' pants, if you know what I mean...
                                                    To see when I post one of my more serious stories.

                                                      a month later

                                                      Man, I thought, my novel stats suck really hard, but I seem to be doing really good!
                                                      Only started writing one week ago, but I have a solid 97:1 Ratio, which seems quite decent, right? Sadly only 2.6k views as I have little exposure.
                                                      Pls check out "Kalar's Continent" it is statistically proven, that it is good! It deals with Magic in a Western Fantasy context, following a tryhard boy through his magical adventures, if that is something you enjoy. It has a rather light setting so far and is suitable for all genders.

                                                      Edit: The ratio just went up to a whopping 62:1 ! I know, that new novels typically start better off, because peeps don't expect much when they come, but I have to admit, that I am a bit hyped!

                                                        Just curious, how many views should it reach before the ratio is most accurate?

                                                        Understand that new stories tend to get more attention, thus having a better ratio.

                                                        Would waiting for 500k viewers before calculating ratio be more accurate?

                                                          Ratio is 1:168.8

                                                          It's been 1 week since i started my novel. I am at 13th chapter. I have no idea if this amount is good or bad. I am having self doubts weather what I write is good or not. 13,000 view but still I only received 6 reviews.

                                                          Am not trying to promote the novel so I will not write the link here but I genuinely need to know if these number good or bad.

                                                          Thank you for replying in advance.

                                                            It is good to be your first book, but depending on what theme you play here on Webnovel is how you will go.

                                                            Here in webnovel the most read topics are

                                                            - Harem

                                                            I understand that these are the most viewed topics.
