half_empty To keep it simple ( I hope) just divide your number of views by number of collections.
510000/1000 = 510:1

This indicates that for every 510 reads 1 person has your book in their library. Figuratively speaking, since this calculation isn't an exact science.

Regardless, to have 510K views with 1K library adds is brilliant in my view.

      Panqiuyan 102:1 Pretty solid interest regardless of ratio. You have a story people want to read that's for sure. Nice work.

          1:733. The thousand ratio is getting closer and closer. 121k views for 165 collections. I clearly failed somewhere. Well, time to write more then.

            Innovation Err, that’s still way better than me at 19k views and 16 collections after 2 months. XD
            No worries, I wouldn’t get too hung up on the numbers as failure (even though this is a thread just about that >.<‘). From what I’ve gathered, I don’t see much of a correlation in a good story = better ratios. It’s just level of exposure to the target audience I think.

                Zaldizko {BL} Ratio 379:1 ↓2
                Collections increased.

                To My Sunflower 574:1↑2
                Collections increased.

                Baffled. Why the collection increase all of a sudden? It's out of pattern. Since we don't use tags to filter, it's hard to track the audience.

                  Chryiss I don’t see much of a correlation in a good story = better ratios. It’s just level of exposure to the target audience I think.

                  I see this is a correct assumption. This thread tracks our stories presence and sales capability if anything.

                      Veronica8 Hahahaha, that's another good way of putting it!
                      Because honestly, the most popular novels on here seem to be CEO romances, cultivation, or systems, ahem. cough I've read enough now to see that imaginative writing and storytelling doesn't get nearly enough appreciation or popularity. But there's a winning formula for a reason, and I wouldn't hold that against a book since I am susceptible myself to reading said mainstream stories. So due to that, I doubt it'll change much.

                      Keep on writing for the love of storytelling~

                        It has been a while since I posted my ratio here.

                        Minecraft: A New Beginning Ratio 1:524

                        My first novel is still growing in the number of readers so I might focus on this for a while instead of writing a new one. Maybe I could try on juggling two stories and just have an alternating release. Hmm...

                        No collections just yet, but over 6000 views per book, even the work in progress. The short story has a little less views: well naturally, because it's shorter.:D

                        Scratch that, one collection. Thank you wonderful person.

                          550:1,

                          Not the best ratio out there, but I'm actually surprised that it's getting a steady number of views when my uploads are so sporadic lol, pretty satisfied overall though! Hopefully it'll get better once I manage to stick to a schedule and post more often!

                          Veronica8 I think that's kind of the issue in my case: if it were a few months ago, I would have said Cyberpunk, but certain elements necessitated switching over to GameLit/LitRPG, and then eventually just Isekai--albiet very dark for an isekai.

                          Mine tend to be more about "fear fullfillment" and less "wish fullfillment" as generally thought of with isekai. And there are a number of aspects that make it...well not isekai, but just a very dark kind of Cyberpunk fiction with elements of the Gothic.

                          And now it's even worse, as it's closer to a "hyper technical" magical realism.
