Hyowha Speaking of no daily updates, has anyone here confirmed that that's required to be featured on the front page? Or just for the "daily updates" category? (The rules for this are like easter eggs...)

WinterBud A base of 50k words written needed and an upload rate > 7 chapters/week. Meaning that past the 50k words, if you have a stable update, you will one day enter the "trending" category. As for daily updates, it is still 50k words and just you posting a chapter. Those numbers are the one given a while ago but should still be relevant.
Also, the higher you are in the original rank, the better it is I think. There is also a number of ??k words written between two apparitions in the "trending" category but those ?? I have no idea. Probably 25k words I would say, meaning that for two consecutive times, you would write at least a little more than 3.5k words each day.

Innovation thank you, very informative!

Innovation Hyowha
Thanks! Daily updates... (-_-)

I'm going to set a new record again! 3617:1

I used to be embarrassed by this but now I'm feeling like the naked guy that just doesn't care anymore lol.

Thanks! I have very little time to write between a full time job and University

Mine is 222:1
Yeah,life's tough. I'm dealing with it. Kudos to all authors and editors out there(~_~)

Overlord_Venus I have maybe 4 collection to my 1,384 views. It's kind of depressing. );

360 collections with 100k views
305 views per collection

So what is a healthy ratio? There is no comparison with authors who are featured or have very popular novels, but what is the average?
I was looking at the posts above and on an average it happened to be somewhere around 230:1
What do you all think...?

I think the collection will still depend on how often you publish a chapter. A lot of readers will check how often you publish a chapter before adding your book.

I published my novel 2 weeks ago. I post 1 chapter per day. 2 if I feel like it.

So far I have 112k views and 783 collections.

Though my novel is not that good. Hahaha

I just started publishing yesterday and I'm at 816 views with 2 collections.
Maybe it's because my first chapter is pretty long or maybe it's a garbage start, I'd really just love to hear some opinions honestly. Even one comment would make my day .

Even if they just say "you stink man, and story is doo doo bum bum."

The silence just makes me feel uncomfortable.

42 collections and 13.8k views= 1/309.5

I'm not sad, it's only been 15 days since I started writing, but I can do better! >3</

TheBlips Impressive numbers, well done :grin:

Couchroach You're not an online writer if you haven't experienced the "silence". This means your work must be good. XD

Stats now: 13.1k views across 16 chps with 7 collections.

I lost a couple of collections on Zaldizko, that's okay. I'm happy with my views since it's way more than I had originally expected. It's a different story to your typical YA Fantasy-Magical Realism.

Thanks, that honestly makes me feel a lot better.

I'm a lot more motivated now thanks to you :D

If the view is 6.4mil and collection is 67k what the ratio is?

my brain doesn't work when it comes to math.

AJZHEN ratio of 1:95 more or less. That's pretty impressive but at the same time, it is the romance genre, so that's more usual than other types I would say. Not to berate romance, but I think that those readers have more chance of following a good story than other types like fantasy and such.

I read a little bit of the story and I think it has great potential. It's undeniable that there are grammar errors, but I see that the more you advance in chapters, the less mistakes there are.

I think Fell is an interesting character with a well thought personnality and I think I want to know where this guy will end up

AJZHEN Equates to a lot XD Nice looking numbers. Good job :smile:

Veronica8 Today's closing figures are:
Zaldizko Ratio is 1900:1 :confounded:
To My Sunflower Ratio is 308:1

Today's closing figures are:
Zaldizko Ratio is 1957:1
To My Sunflower Ratio is 319:1

SALOUA_EL_HAMZAOUI Which story are you talking about...?

Couchroach
Now your collection increased by one more. Also inserted a tiny review. Keep up the good work and promote more! >3</

Sharing my experience of being featured.

Prior to being featured: 1:916

With 4 hours left to feature ending: 1:86

Collection ratio during feature: 1:69

All the best to my fellow writers and readers :)

Throwaway_account1 Super! Which book is this?

MishaK

Funnily enough, it's a book you've read before. LoL.

Anyway, am attempting to act mysterious here and too lazy to post the collection graph. Congrats on top 100 btw!

You all have fantastic numbers. I'm running with some 22k views and below 30 collections. 700:1 or something like that I guess.

300 views, 4 collections... is that good or bad

yuu_nii

Depends on the duration and chapters you have published.

I would say that the front page crowd and the crowd that sifts through all the novels are entirely different beasts. Until you are able to access both, you will not be able to get an accurate picture on how good your novel potentially is.

Veronica8 Opening figures are:
Zaldizko Ratio is 390:1
That's appx a 5% leap!
To My Sunflower Ratio is 336:1
This one is still blooming XD

Today's closing figures are:
Zaldizko Ratio is 315:1
To My Sunflower Ratio is 343:1

yuu_nii

I think it's good when you consider that out of 75 views, one person added your story to their collection. Either way, having people want to read your story is always a win regardless of quantity.

Well done. :grin:
