Now this is where everything really starts to go downhill(compared to before, at least. My skin isn't thick enough to say that my ratio is bad)

IEIWE- 47:1

Hmm lets have a look.

Blue Phoenix - 295:1 (54 chapters)

      Veronica8 Hmm. It's strange that I have a high number of collection adds (almost double to my daily average view rate), yet little power stone gains if any.

      Then again. I noticed that 90% of Boys Love (LGBT in general for the matter) have this pattern. There is a lot of high views and comments, but little to zero power stone gains. I think the most I saw on one story was just under 100 power stones. So, I can deduce that people who read BL/LGBT just read and nothing else. It also confirms that LGBT and BL stories have a long way to go to be a mainstream sub-cat of the Romance genre at this site. Actually, in mainstream digital book and social story sharing sites in general.

        Veronica8

        Well, a good part of it is because in general LGBT stories are made/tailored for those people.

        For example, I looked at your novel Dragoneth, I feel like the hook of the novel gay incest, which many people find morally wrong.

        While, I do not have an issue with consented incest, I would not read your story because you made it a plot point rather than something in the novel.

        It was not the story of two brothers who did blah blah, which is why I would pass right away.

          Veronica8 It May be because collects is anonymous and stones are not—not everyone is comfortable being open in their interest or support

          I read and write BL and other genres — but I have no idea what ratio are exclusive and if it is more than romance, harem, beast taming etc

            Acutelittletrap but I didn't write any incest though. The brother that is gay is in a relationship with a non related man. The other brother is straight. They're about to go and rescue his girlfriend.

            Also I see your point about perception. Although I don't know how you drew the conclusion of incest from my blurb or even my cover. My blurb doesn't even mention on incest or love between the brothers. My cover is dragons. I classified the story BL because there is a main romance between two men that is a focal point. Since there is 3 x MC.

            So I'm really baffled where you saw the incest plot point.

              Today's batch.

                Now I'm starting to drop a couple of collections, but still increasing daily so that's good. I desperately want to join the BTS contest even though mid-year exams is coming soon...

                IEIWE- 61:1

                I don't have a lot of PS/comments though. Do people just add my novel and forget about it?

                  I'm so glad that people on WebNovel are more inclined to comment (plus that xp motivation helps) since I'm pretty sure my heart would die if there were absolutely no comments on my works.

                  Anyway, I'm only going to list the books I've actually been working on.

                    chonnie Chonnie, stop worry about views. The more chapters you release the higher this goes and I think it's an irrelevant number. The only figure I am interested in the collection - as long as that number increases daily I am happy.

                      Chryiss Ah, I guess you're right. I am one of those quiet readers too
                      And thank you! It's gonna go over 100 in about 1-2 weeks though, as the views increase due to the increasing amount of chapters.
