Chryiss I haven't been here long enough to be an expert. From my own observation, I think it comes down to the number of times a person actually views your book page and all the other activity done to that page. It's very simplistic in that sense. Example is Person A clicks on book link to open page, page loaded = 1 view. They go in and out of chapters = more views. The more people view the book page, the higher the view count.

I could be completely wrong, but so far from what I've read and observed this seems to be the closet assumption.

      Lady_Liah What do you don't understand in, this thread is not for that. You literally have half the diss spammed by random trash authors promoting their novels without even reading what was talked or discussed.
      You could be fuckin Tolkien that it wouldn't matter about the fact that, your comment doesn't belong here. So go to the numerous "Review Swaps" / "Reviews Swaps be shameless" (the best one so far) / "Review swaps, Please read my retarded novel and give me attention". You can choose.
      Great discussions fell down after dozens of posts only because one retard post a fuckin advertisement for his novel and soon the thread was flooded by more morons. As for whether or not you are actually a human being capable of reading and have feelings, I am not sorry for disregarding them.

      Current novel 116 collections for 59 k views, damn that's bad, only 1:508 after 46 chapters daily updated.

          Suddenly jumped from 700:1 to 260:1. Absolutely clueless why, but I'm running with very small numbers, so let's chalk it down to statistical variations. I guess I need to reach 100k views before any data starts to solidify.

            And the bots strike again lol
            Seems like that’s the case, counting every view regardless of time spent or unique id.

            That makes me realize that sometimes when new chapters are updated, and I scroll to the next, it takes me to the last chapter instead, so I have to navigate back to where I left off. This happened a lot in murder the dream guy. So the system probably counts all of the chapters being passed over.

                Innovation Okay first, did you read what MishaK asked me above? You are plain rude for jumping into conclusion without reading pass conversation when all you need to do is scroll up or do you want to insult amateur authors like me that wants to answer another person's question. I answered what she asked AFTER I replied to the thread's purpose correctly. IN FACT, she asked me because she was surprised about my 3M views answer. GET IT? SHE ASKED. Do I have to repeat it again, SHE ASKED.
                I didn't want to post nor emphasize my book, to begin with. SOMEONE ASKED or do you need glasses with a prescription for you to not be a bastard and look that I REPLIED to someone. GOD, help me from people like you who don't allow people to respond to questions.
                Are you having fun demoralizing people? Is that the best you can do with your life?
                Next time, PLEASE look at the little arrow that signifies that someone replied and not jump to conclusion.

                so that you can't accuse me of answering correctly
                My first novel is 3.04 M with a 19,959 collection now about 150 ratio (WHICH I ANSWERED BEFORE MishaK asked me what novel it is which I then replied Lady_Liah , and that was the only thing you saw before deciding to be an ass Innovation about it.)
                My second novel with one chapter is 4.5K with 1,907 collections

                Thank you for comparing me to Tolkien. I love his books. AND I WASN'T asking for reviews my GOD, SOMEONE FUCKING ASKED THE TITLE OF MY NOVEL. And I don't need to advertise my novel; you can see it on the top ranking for the originals, which I honestly don't know why I qualified because I KNOW I AM NOT THE BEST WRITER and I've read better books than mine. Fuck, you make me lose my calmness. The fact that this misunderstanding would not happen had you scrolled up to read past convo, just irritates me further.
                We are both idiots here. You for jumping into conclusion, and me for stooping to your level to reply this long but damn you need to learn how to read and understand conversations. If you see a little arrow that signifies I replied to someone, please look at why, where, how, what, and who, if need be.
                Love you and your precious attitude. You are the best kind of people that makes me what to bang my head in the wall. AGAIN, SOMEONE ASKED ME and I REPLIED. Can I not reply if the person who asked was in here then where should I respond? Here, hover your mouse at the arrow with MishaK's username so you'll see her question. THANK YOU.

                NEXT TIME CAN YOU READ ALL THE CONVERSATION SO YOU WILL NOT MISUNDERSTAND? PLEASE
                Have a good day!
                As for whether I am human or not, NO. I am a fucking robot that doesn't have feelings. Robots like me at least understand that a human like you would rather disregard people's feelings just so they can be right.
                Hugs and kisses to you so it may brighten your attitude. I need to sprinkle rainbows and butterflies, then hire unicorns to cheers your sour ass up. ANYBODY knows some unicorn for hire?

                          Lady_Liah I thought that you wrote in reply to the message that was 5 messages above yours, written by MishaK complaining about someone. As for if you look a bit, you saw that right above it, someone began to spam "review me review me review me please". You end up as an innocent bystander, on that point I agree. For that, I apologize for mistaking you for a spammer on this thread and didn't saw linked your reply with the message way above asking for your title.
                          Your immense ranting with many utilization of MAJ and bold font is an incredible message of happiness, forgiveness, and peace across the world. If my world hurt you even when you are visibly innocent, well, are you though? Seriously, you could have just taken it as a random message not targeted at you if you truly thought it didn't concern you but I understand the fact that it was a misunderstanding from my side.
                          As for the fact that you are top ranking, I don't care at all. You could be top 1 and still spamming forums, one doesn't prevent the other. Therefore, just consider that my ranting was not targeted at you because I have nothing against you but the legitimacy of my complaint is still true. While you, just lost your calm for a mere post on a forum. It's hard to imagine how you managed to not crumble against bad reviews without sense and hateful comments.
                          Well, maybe you have a bad day, so, I hope you get better. You can also keep your unicorns and butterflies, I am allergic to those things. They would be better used for yourself

                              Innovation The best part now is you are not just defending yourself but putting the blame on my rambling on me which I already specified that I am an idiot for doing? I already knew that if I rambled at you long and hard you would react like this just like all humans that thinks they said sorry but never really meant it.
                              I tend to repeat my words couple of times so idiot robots like me could understand... That some people should do.
                              Again, I already said I was an idiot for rumbling at you, but I also specified why I am rambling at you, so you could actually learn from it. Now that, I’ve rambled at you, wouldn't you now think twice about jumping to conclusion? You’ll probably think ’I better be careful because this chick might ramble like an idiot at me.’ And don't get me wrong, I am not a magnanimous person nor perfect, I’ve done my fair share of blowing up from bad reviews, but I’ve never blown my anger this much. It seems my special kind of rambling is only for you.
                              Thank you, I like my rainbows and butterflies, I need it to brighten my day.
                              P.S. What made me blow my top off was because you said something in the line of ”whether I am human capable of reading or feelings and that you were not one bit sad to disregard yours for me.” I don't know you, but that hurts deep man/woman.

                                  This thread just doesn’t die, does it? Had I known sooner, I’d have put a link of my novel in my first msg, as advertisement. Then again, I didn’t really start the thread with ads in mind.

                                  Back to reality :grin: Surreal seeing collections drop off like flies after chapter 2. XD Oh well, not much I can do about the story now.
                                  To My Sunflower Ratio is 343:1

                                      Nothing's ratio only sways between 300-400:1. I currently get an average of 1-2 collections and 500-800 views a day. It's pretty low...>3</

                                        I think you all should get more collections if the chapter cost wasn't so disproportionate to the returns. You might get less per reader but people will be able to read more titles so the wealth will be able to spread and I won't have to go to other sites to get my fill, i read 12 titles a day and only 2-3 from hear because that's all I can afford to spare

                                          90751052 Better than me. I'm getting that 1k:ish views a day now, but after the sudden burst I commented about I'm dropping one collection a day :D

                                          Guess people found it, slammed into their libraries and decided it wasn't for them after all.

                                              I expect collections to drop off more to a single digit since I increased my censorship rating to 17+ only.
