Heh, my novel, Rekka's Last Stand has 1 collection and ~150 views. So, 1:150 for me!

ReincarnatedSaint sorry for the late response. My understanding of how this works:
Take your book page views and divide it by the number of your total collections.

Example
- Views 10K
- Collection adds 100
10000/100= 100

The ratio would be 100:1
Loosely put, 100 views per collection add.

This was the best stat we had to determine read interest on our books before the dashboards (that's still wonky). Having said that, it didn't factor out scrapper bot views.

As Chryiss has mentioned before. The ideal ratio is anything under the hundreds. So a ratio of 1:50 is better than 1:500. Loosely speaking, it means for every 50 views of the book page, a peep has added the book to their library.

Exaya stop spamming every post with your novel @yaoyueyi

From what people have written here anything above 1000:1 is pretty poor performance as far as retention goes.

Yeah, that means I'm the king of piss poor performance :D

Given your numbers above, if the two stories with 4k+:1 have less than 100k views you're basically writing them only for yourself. Assuming you're actively writing more than one story (as in not yet finished), I'd personally axe those two in favour of the others. Possibly axe the 2000:1 as well.

The main reason I just laugh off 17000:1 (yep, seventeen thousand views per collection) is because I finished that story 2005, so it was only a matter of republishing it here.

StenDuring That is, at 4371.43: 1

4842.5: 1

better to finish them, and focus on those with more collections and views?

As previously mentioned here https://forum.webnovel.com/d/34886-how-long-does-it-take-to-reach-a-million-views-for-an-original-novel/34

that the main productivity is 3500 words per day, every day, for 1-2 months and also according to that list. Views easily gain 50k per month!

That is, the main thing is not even the story itself, but the ability to write a lot?

Well, I get it, thanks, your advice helped me. Now I will try to finish these stories and pay more attention to those stories where they read more and more subscriptions. I needed this advice! Respect!

Sten, how have ya been?

Just fine. Hit 1M views on my main last weekend, so happy camper here.

StenDuring Congrats on the milestone.

Ratio to date = 538:1

I think my contracted story has done its dash and died a slow death. The poor Sunflower has dried up with interest :laughing: Regardless, I'll have to finish by April to satisfy my own catalogue plans.

Kind of was expecting Sunflower to have a modest run, so it's cool.

It's had some cool readers who've supported its journey. That's my biggest win on this contract author stint. Sunflower readers have been awesome. Yep. You heard me. We have some excellent reader peeps here. Big up respect for all their comments and encouragement. I'd feel this contract experience would be a failure if I didn't receive the reader support it has received. Fingers crossed. I've never had reason to delete one review since everyone has been kind and constructive with feedback. Feeling blessed to be honest. And I hope I don't jinx myself.

StenDuring Nice. Still, a good number despite the book being shorts.

Congrats, thats really cool man

Update on my book Rekka's Last Stand from a month ago!

It now has 39k views and 25 collections, so 1,560:1 compared to 150:1 from when I first started out.

Currently, my novel for the 104 WC has a ratio of 10.7k:14, or 764:1.
tbh, not sure if that's good or bad. I rarely check the ratios lol.

Went from a 1:400 to an almost 1:2000 Did nuffing, just continued the story ;__;
