I really love this thread. There are people arguing, people posting their daily update of their ratio and people advertising their novel.

I want to get into these.

I go by the name of Nayamorac. Novice writer bored out his of mind and decided to write a novel.

Here's the ratio of my novel.
Minecraft: A New Beginning 401:1

    Nayamorac As long as you stick to the primary purpose of sharing your ratios, it's all good :grin: It's nice to watch the journey of a story's ups and downs.

      Oh, I was wondering if you meant "Beginning" for your title in the hyperlink, since it's spelled that way for your novel. >3</

          90751052 Oooh. Thanks for pointing that out. It is just a mistake. It is 'Beginning'.

              I'm back after few days to comment my ratio.
              185:1
              Sure is an improvement

              So_mi hahahaha I'm a fan of yours I really the first novel

                  Don't know. Don't care. I write for my own amusement. People are so weird trying to flex this shit.

                    Today 74.2k to 117 ratio is 634:1

                    Slowly getting better.

                    Hello, I'm just stopping by with a question on the views/collection ratio.

                    In my thread, someone asked a question relating to whether there is anything that would make a novel more popular in terms of views and collections over another. To my knowledge, I haven't come across anything yet. So, I wondered if anyone in this thread has any insight?

                      Book_Keeper I'm still trying to figure it out. There is a novel in my category that hasn't released in several months and only has three chapters, but has like 30,000 views. This novel is a mystery to me as sometimes my novel is more popular and sometimes this 3 chapter one is.

                      The algorithm is weird.

                        Specific to WN, using romance as an example, this genre tend to garner more views easily. A simple exercise to determine this would be to look at the number of views a romance novel tend to garner on its days of features versus a fantasy/system novel. This is specifically to views ONLY. With regards to powerstones, it is a different matter.

                        With regards to collection, I can only use examples gained purely from hearsay. Before being featured a certain novel was sitting close to 1:1000 ratio. For every 1000 views, it was getting 1 person to put it into their collection. During it's front page feature, it was 1: >3 digits with 43k views. This leads me to conclude it is about the crowd and the front page crowd are far more receptive to putting a new book into their collections (yeah, love that crowd man).

                        It was featured alongside a novel that ended in the top 80s in the week prior. That novel had a SYSTEM in it's title and a high volume of updates/ views/ reviews by the time it was featured. In the following week , I believe it was closing in on 1m(from 500k or so) views and ended in the top 30s. New originals are not allowed to be featured once it is above 3000 collections currently with the exception of daily updates.

                        I realize my above examples are reductive in terms of your question. To cover the final angle, I believe that until a novel has proceeded to the front page and spent some time in the back end of WN, gaining an accurate representation of views:collections is not possible.

                        I believe this is where your reviews create a dissonance and I do not admire your position. Should a novel you review to have a score of lets say 5 and it breaks into the top 100 in the next week, how does said review stand?
                        With the cooperation of the author, you could weigh out your review with the views:collection ratio I suppose but wouldn't that defeat your purpose of curating by your own established standards/framework?

                        All the best with your site man!

                            What a great explanation! As expected from Jamison.

                            Actually, that has been on my mind lately. I noticed that some of the assessed novels have numerous views and high power stone rankings, so I wondered if they were actually featured or contracted. I have no way of knowing; it could very well slip by me.

                            As for breaking into the top 100, I doubt a novel that could do that would get anything less than a score of 6 because of TQ and CL, haha! Additionally, one of the other three should be at least 1. I've only come across one novel that scored a 6 that was somewhat popular according to views and PS, but the chapter length was at ~500, and the TQ was 2. Thus, it could've been 9, but alas, a 6.

                            However, you are correct! In a sense, I'm evening the field to boost great stories with less awareness, and critique on popular stories that have yet to reach (my personal) standard that others less popular have. Even then, many of the critiques for the popular ones are mostly the same and can be fixed.

                            Thank you!

                                My novel is currently at 121.2K views with 283 views, out of which only 4-5 r faithful readers who actually read, donate and comment. The ratio stands to about 1:425.ish something.
                                Not sad (even tho im sad inside) but then I noticed a certain trend. For the last few days, my collections would always decrease by 1 and then suddenly the next day it would increase back. And the change would always be of 1. Not one less or more. It has happened for a week now and im puzzled at whether someone of my faithful readers is playing a prank on me to get more chapters out. But
                                .... Who knows....
                                I wish my novel could become famous but then again, im more of a lazy-gamer than a writer and currentlyy xams r going on.
