Start new thread as suggested. As the previous one was a bit full.

How this works:

Take your views and divide it by the number of your collections.

Example

Views 10000
Collection 100

10000/100= 100

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

Why Bother?
If you don't get power stone votes, this is something of an indication your story is attracting readers.

What can I do here?

  • You can link your book(s) with your title alongside your ratio.
  • Talk about your writing and book marketing/promotion experiences.

    So now that the BTS frenzy has calmed to support event. I wonder if my stories will start to pick up interest. Probably not. Today's batch:

    Alas, lots down. Fair enough. I'm slack on updates due to real life, and I kind of peeved off some readers by ditching TLAM. Imma bad kitty. MV22. I have my vision. I'd be a fickle barstool if I don't stick with it. Regardless whether my stories continue to be unread. I'll self pub to paperback on all these. Every single one. To the end.
    No regrets. No half measures. No matter how long it takes. It'll happen by year end of 2022 for these.

    Right in the middle of exam week, I made the beautiful decision of rewriting IEIWE, now known as BPE.

    Blood Peony Emperor - 121:1
    The ratio's dropped since I started rewriting it, but that is to be expected. Collections hasn't increased for a while, but it should soon when I hit 10-15 chapters. Aiming for that daily update feature :D

    Through Countless Reincarnations - 86:1
    WN gave me a feature and advertised me on Twitter and FB cheers. Going to SK on the 18th! Seeing the boys cry honestly made me cry as well TwT it was so sweet. I'm worried with the new arc tho. Got too much angst but no idea how to balance it out.

      noctiferu hope exams are going well.
      Revision is a never-ending process. I have to go back and revise all end chapters for Zaldizko. Spotted some grammar errors. It's in a comp this year and the judges are gonna be a picky bunch.

      Oh and hope the concert goes well. Still cool you won that comp. 😁

          My worst is 8.67K:1.

          Seems I failed to go epic for the moment. 100K views passed, but got myself another two collections.

            MishaK It looks like a good stat to me. I've never reached below 200, so this is a reassuring figure to see.

            I can tell there are readers interested in your story by this figure. :smile_cat:

                Still crying over my failed Watty chances. I've no one to blame but myself. Today's sorry batch. Someone get me a keg of chocolate ice cream :sob:

                  I've got about 1:300 on ZQSC.

                  Btw. anybody else got a big surge of collections today, in the last 12 hours?

                    Veronica8 *hands over choco ice cream
                    One of these days if I ever become successful (not necessarily in writing per say, more like financially so this endeavor is feasible XD), I’d like to create or manage some writing or just artistic site to help creators improve and get noticed.

                    xWangan I wish lol!

                          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!

                          stella2138
                          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.

                                                  Chryiss

                                                  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.

                                                    MishaK Who knows, truly?

                                                    Today I've got 275:1 ratio on ZQSC. Still getting worse, but I think the ratio is fine overall?

                                                    I'd say I'd rank it as:
                                                    100:1 being super good
                                                    200:1 to 400:1 being good
                                                    500:1 being fine
                                                    600:1 to 800:1 being slightly bad
                                                    and everything over that just being bad.
