First update on the new thread. (:

Big Hit’s New Girl Group - 1:135
Staying pretty constant since the end of the comp, so I’m happy. Today marks the longest time (3 days) that I haven’t updated due to RL matters, but the collections are modestly increasing the sameish as the last few days of the comp.

RE: Life as a Tree - 1:444
Lost one collection since yesterday, but the day before that I suddenly gained 5-10, so it’s not a downer. However, it’s been over two weeks since I last updated, so that’s bad.

My World To Live - 1:652
Slower than the rest, but still steady compared to its own history. This one doesn’t even update new chapters since I need to update the current old version to the new one on RR which does update consistently still lol!

88800 views / 256 collections = 1:343.75 or ~1:344 ratio

I’d say that’s pretty good. Personally, I consider anything 1:500 or less to be good while up to 1:800 or even < 1:1000 is just ok but not terrible. 1:1000 or above I’d say is not so good/kinda bad. 1:100 or less is really great while 1:200 is great.

This feels so numbery lol.

      Hmm,, let's see... 3000:35= 100: 1 approx...? Ig.. I'm too lazy to get the exact values.. It's around these tho
      Back again.. It's currently 3056:35= 87.314:1 or 87: 1
      Good or bad? sigh

        Chryiss Yeah, I thought something funny was going on since my stats suddently jumped up.

        Seems like I've got some luck recently, since my novel somehow made the daily update's section on front page.

          Lost two collections and then gained one for the Big Hit story. It's a bit concerning, but I'm not surprised as I hadn't updated for four days. However, I did just now with a longer update (1.9k instead of usual 1-1.5k) which will be followed by another soon today. Hopefully, I can reach the 1000 collections mark before the number stagnates or drops. >_< It would be such a great milestone to make.

          The other two stories are fine. I suppose readers on my other novels are used to me not updating often or just once a week compared to the Big Hit one which was usually daily. XD

            Chryiss 1:1000 or above I’d say is not so good/kinda bad.

            My non romance novel has been sitting on 1k - 2k for ages 😢. I guess it's expected. I do nothing to promote it and updates are irregular. Still, my FL ain't cutting it.

              Veronica8 Save the poppers for when/if I ever achieve it. :joy:

              I'm honestly surprised that my MWTL novel hasn't dropped back down to 1000 like before. I suppose it's due to not updating, so the views are slow, but I'm gaining a few readers from story crossover.

                Hi everyone... I've been trying to figure out this thread but I still don't understand a thing. Am really bad in Math sigh so I need help to understand my stats. 😊

                I have a novel has 14k+ views and 56 collections which is, I only updated twice or once a week.

                Then, I have this 186k views and 500 collections which I noticed, often dropping everytime I went to my chapter to reply the comments. My regular updates is twice a day so I've been checking for a new comments then. (and that's often drop my gain collections)

                Please help me to understand the ratio of my collections and views. Thank you so much in advance!

                  Elise_Elleneth Seems strange for collections to drop on comments. Then again, who knows why people drop their books.

                  14000/56 = 250 views per 1 collection add. 250:1. That's solid. It's better than the example below.

                  14000/6 = 2.33K views per 1 collection add. This tells me most of the views are either from author, scrapper bots, browsing, silent or causal readers.

                  Hope that helps a bit.

                    Elise_Elleneth And for the 186000/500 story, that is a 372:1 collection add ratio. This is still quite good! The more views and chapters a novel has, the more likely that the ratio will decrease because chapter quantity can skew the ratio to the lower end. More chapters = more views after all.

                    After you hit views in the 100k's, the ratio becomes less significant. Just focus on your collections number by then. Basically as long as it doesn't drop, that's good. Your readers are sticking with you, so that's most important.

                        GrumpyNeighbor Also take in technical reasons. WN had some app problems, I think, a few weeks back when some readers had their libraries wiped and was fixed as a glitch. Technical can also play a part in collection loss/gains.

                          Yep. My main is hovering around 500 collections since the drop after a daily updates injection petered out. Views keep increasing by 1 - 2 k a day, but collections are static.

                          Seems I get a couple of dozen new collections (that stick with me) every time I end up on the daily updates.

                          328K views for something in the order of 660:1 ratio, but it'll keep worsening until next daily updates.

                          When my work situation get normal and I can spend more time on my writing I guess exchanging reviews and stuff like that will mitigate the numbers a bit.
