Loosing more collections. ~sigh~ :pensive:

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

KoFu_ It is important that you consider your readers and collections to the views ratio is a metric for that.

8 days ago 61.7k to 95 ratio is 650:1

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!

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.

Way better than me. 79.9k views and 282 collection which decreases 4-5 a day and increases 1-2 at the same time. I doubt that more than 20 are reading to the end lol. >3</

I'm at 23k and 82 collections. But that ain't gonna bring me down lol. I'm enjoying writing my work anyway, so that's what I'll focus on right now instead of obsessing about them numbers. Less stress that way.

I have a feeling my story must have popped up on the frontpage for a day or so. Ratio jumped from 700:1 to better than 250:1 in no time at all. Views jumped by over 20k, which is huge for me.

Well that felt good -- for a while.

Now it's back to a little better than 1k views a day, but I'm bleeding collections. So the last week or so I've droppped from almost 200 to a little better than 170 despite some 10k more views.

A telltale story of what happens when lots of readers catch a glimpse of your work, add it to their library and realise it wasn't their cup of tea after all.

For the record, collection:views ratio can be used to supplement your review, footnote etc etc- it's just another measurement.

Personally, I am actually far more interested in your established framework and standards as well as how you go about executing them. As long as it is well executed, it's fine. If your analysis was outcome-based in the first place, what value is there? i.e fitting the logic to accentuate the outcome. I have better things to do than entertain such a hum-drum review. At the very least, I feel that you do not slide that way, keep it up yo!

P.S: I wanted to make the tone far more humorous and light but I just woke up and the heart is willing but the mind is not, LEL.

Jamison_C Hahaha, it's okay! It made me laugh anyway.
Trying my best, trudging along... Curses on my need to organize!!
