Stable, give or take a few gains and drops. This is the amount of interest to my stories since the last update almost a month ago. The fact that non contracted stories are no longer featured (except via the daily update algorithm that's weird to begin with), makes these stats reassuring. Combining this stat with the dashboard wireframes, I can see if those intentions to read become actual. To date, only Zaldizko has active readership. I guess this could be due to my commitment, since my updates are erratic but I do intend to finish these books. Especially the Fourth and Reborn since they're part of a 10 book series.

      Veronica8 Interesting dynamics. I have growth, only after sharing the review ... and then silence again. But at the same time, the number of collections increased from 32 to 90. At the same time, they do not comment, but 5-10 people read it.

      I plan to finish 3 of 5 stories this year by writing 30–40 final chapters.

      Thank you for sharing interesting information!

          Gourmet_DAO That's pretty good growth. Nice.

          I noticed, writing male lead stories, they tend to attract the silent readers. That's not a bad thing. It's good we can now see something of active reading in the dashboards.

              While we're talking reader interest. Don't know how it will go for my upcoming books I aim to self publish now that I've decided the full version via paid channels only.

              Example: I'm going to stop posting the Fourth at the end of Volume 5 here, but finish the book offline for ebook/paperback release.

              I guess a non profit reason for this decision is piracy countering and taking advantage of them at the same time. 😁

              Hi everyone I just took part in WPC12 and I think I am worse of all 5.9 k views and 12 collections...Can something come down this???
              I just want to cry out loud...aaaaaaaa...
              I think I am worse writer of all...

                Scarletheart84 I wouldn't take results of a WPC to heart. As its much more of a networking contest than a writing one.

                My first WPC entry didn't even put me in a rank. I remember only getting 1-2k views and the only votes then were my own that I stopped early cause I got lazy. A year later my entry was contracted. Although I wouldn't call it a success rate here. And it's likely to be eventually banned being a BL.

                Keep writing. There are 12 readers who showed interest in your story and want to give it a go. They are worth as much as 1000 readers at this stage of the story.

                Then there's the story itself. If you're passionate for it, give it an ending regardless. You could always take it to a place that will love it.

                And you can only improve from here.

                    Hi there!

                    Your other stories are actually quite popular and good. Why not post an update notice for your old readers that you are on a new story and they can support you?

                    Cheers!

                        Veronica8

                        Veronica8 Who are you dear??? From today onwards count me as your fan because your words really give me so much of happiness and feeling of worth something...Today I got only 3-4 votes and I was totally down. This one is my third try in writting and I was hopelessly thinking about making it good in WPC this time because my previous two books didn't do really well. I mean 1st book Heavenly blessed was praised by some people but eventually after some 50 or chapters everything died down...Then I asked readers what happened?? They sincerely told me that I dragged the subject a little bit...So I asked them some time to rewrite it...still collection of some 55 after stopping it 4 months back. In that period, 3 months back I took part in my first WPC
                        compitition that time my book got bronze and it got collection of more than 220 but still very few people commeted and voted on it...So I lost an interest but still I wrote it but then my thumb got injured in accident and I stopped it totally. When I came back again I wrote a chapter to tell readers I am back and what happened but I didn't got any response so I thought of reuploading of my first book but you know it again doesn't got much response so I again stopped but I wanted them both to live so I thought of taking part in this compitition. So that if more people will know me they will someday turned to them also but looking at this stage I lost that hope also.
                        My novel is not getting much response....I got reviews of grammatical mistakes and some said they are not fan of smut so they didn't liked it but for god sake I went through so many books on Webnovel were in every second novel has smut and that too detail description about it. Which novel don't have it in detail? Please I really want to read and appreciate them from bottom of my heart. Because after that also there novel is working on Webnovel...In my all three novel I haven't wrote any description about it but they labelled my book as smut and it hurt me too much. My book was getting response till that time I didn't had review for it but since those 5-6 reviews it just fall down. No maybe it is my writing fault but 4.6 rate for my book I can't believe. Today I read all novels first 2 chapters of first 4 books and I got to know that I should just take it little cool about result. Because I surely know who is better and your advice made it so easy for me to understand this fact that votes doesn't depend on how good you write....

                        Where is your that BL book dear. I would love to read it. I am big fan of cultivational, BL and vampire stories and right now I am obsessed by Alfa omega stories.....

                        I started reading "The eternal daffodil" I really loved it but that author eventually stopped uploading just like me...No readers ...no votes at all...

                        But enough of ranting thank you so much for your kind words and please be lije this only...You are really kind hearted person....
                        Thank you....

                              Avidfan I did that dear for those books but very few people turned out and some really loyal readers are only helping me with this WPC compitition...No one else...But thank you for your suggestion... I am so happy today you made my day.... Thank you...

                                  Scarletheart84 I like the fact that you're assessing and analysing to see what did or didn't work for a better outcome next time. This is an author trait. Two things writers need to be is persistent and resilient.

                                  I only have one completed book hidden in WN's closet lol. It's set in WW2 Hiroshima and Nagano, Japan called To My Sunflower. This one I wrote for WPC #46 and didn't rank. It's more of an historical fiction than boys love because the lovers are finding their way back to each other. Some people have told me it's emotional journey, so it can be an acquired taste.

                                  I have another in progress called Clumsy Mr. President:Work Hard Don’t Die I wrote for a recent WPC LGBT+ prompt. I declined the gold tier offer as I aim to self publish it as a paperback. Thanks for taking interest.

                                  None of my stories have a ranking. Most readers just read the story for whatever reason. I'm grateful to the niche few humans who have given them a chance and stuck with it.

                                  Keep at it.
