Chryiss oof im interrupting but that is so true
there are some seriously good stories out there, but they're all hard to find. Audience likes to eat up stuff like romance/ceo/cliched tropes. TBH i think there should be a section for underappreciated novels, where it depends on grammar/plot/characterization. Although, I don't think that would ever happen TwT
What is your collection to views ratio?
Another update!
I was away for a couple of days and didn't update, but when I came back I was so shocked LOL
It's still around the 30:1 ratio TwT I'm so pleased,,, my heart can't take this much support too... PS all coming in too as well as a couple reviews, but it seems like they're spam reviews so I can't say much;;;
IEIWE- 27:1
Chryiss Nup. All good. You're telling it like it is.
There are lots of compelling stories that aren't popular on this site.
Let's face it you don't have to use much of your brain to read common, popular ones. I'm not dissing on popular well-known tropes, but you honestly can switch off and enjoy the ride when you read, cause you already know what's coming up. You've experienced it before in some other novel. So, the experience is just a carry on thrill from the last one.
With left-field stories, not so common tropes, you do have to use all your burners to decipher what is going on. Especially when your expanse and experience of the world is limited. Thankfully we have Google-sensei these days.
chonnie Sorry, I'm still in the undiscovered range myself. It's a lot of trial and error to find a buying and advocating audience. 95% of success will boil down to luck (right time and place) situation when it comes to writing.
Some stories that I know started a month ago are already contracted, because they write to a known formula and are good at it. They easily appealed to masses who became their advocates.
You're probably in the same boat as me. I write a story I want to write and believe in.
So keep at it.
Heh, my 4200:1 is now down to 4600:1 :D
Well, I just finished it and it'll be downhill from here on. Waiting to break the 10000:1 barrier ;)
StenDuring Actually, I wouldn't mind reaching 10K to 1 barrier. Kind of epic. XD
PsyberRose The views on webnovel are slightly broken but if you have a lot of views like in your example 300k+ views but less than 1000 collections it could mean that people read your novel but don't add it to their library

Done & dusted :grin: Oddly, more collection adds vs view gains.
Angelyay Thanks for explaining further. Initially, the low ratio made me feel a bit meh but when then I think about my readers who comment and vote. They make it worthwhile so ... hehehe. Even if only one person like my novel and comments regularly, it makes me super happy. Seeing the collections and power stones votes increase makes me super happy. Easy to please, really. (๏ฝกโขฬแด-)โง
One question though: Would the views also be counted if you access and read the novel several times a day?
PsyberRose Likely yes. The view counter seems very sensitive.
Chryiss Thanks! I know some of my readers like to re-read it and I access it several times a day just to look at comments. Reply when I can. I'm so weird. สฑยชสฑยชสฑยช (แแขเฅแซโ)
