It's confirmed. My books aren't popular with readers :laughing: Maybe I should've stuck with cliche and gone all out with To Like A Man since this book is the only one gaining steady collections where all others are loosing them. Although Reborn surprised me.

Then again, I would've been bothered by not finishing what I started with Seriphyn Knight Chronicles. I don't have another decade to waste on this series. Before I leave this earth, I'd like to have the entire series on shop bookshelves digital/physical. Of course, this means I'll be doing the self publishing route since doubt I'd see this series being picked up by a traditional publisher. Webnovel contract offer was an anomaly.

I've added a few new chapters to The Fourth Zaldizko as this book is my focus. Unfortunately, that's put a hold on the other in progress ones as I realised I'm a one-at-a-time person. I can't multi-task well when it comes to books.

I revised the format for Zaldizko chapters "All In Love", "All in War" and "The Zaldizko Prophecy" since these were tricky chapters for readers and received some feedback on this. Hopefully, it reads better.

My book is Harry The Harem Lord-1

Collection:views = 1:138 (approx)

I think ratio isn't everything, because reader are tends to read many books, and of all of them, they could only vote for three (Power stones), so they might vote once in while. Anyway it seems complicated in deeper study, than just simple ratio.

I’m starting to wonder if that Valid Reading Ratio on the new daahboard actually gives a better idea if readers are reading. That along with the number itself each 48 hours.

On another note, I just noticed that my tree story gained 10 collections in a day, first 5 yesterday night and now another 5 this morning. Now I feel pressured to update because idk why all of a sudden I got a 10% boost in collections. :sweat_drops: How’re they finding the story when I didn’t update for two weeks yet again?! Just watch, when I do update, the collections will drop just like last time’s pause in updates. XD

Chryiss Tags maybe?

Chryiss the dashboard seems to show a 2 x day delay. So, the stats are definitely not real time. I think there is a need to manually calculate collections vs views until they can make the dashboards either on-demand pulls or update in hour increments.

Congrats on the collection adds.

Veronica8 What about the tags?

Chryiss I'm also cinfused about this tag thing

Chryiss not sure how this work. Not all show to a book. Think that system is still experimental.

Veronica8 presumably

Veronica8 You can do it! Keep at it kitty! It can be demotivating to see stats of a novel stagnate (that's how it is with my baby MWTL too where for once, WN adds are better than RR---I even saw some drops). But this is just a small pond, and the writing process is continual. One day we may see the stories on the bookshelves. That's honestly my biggest dream for writing. Hopefully, B&N won't be closed down by then due to e-books lol!

Eslyna Not to sure what vpc is, sorry.

I guess for me, this collection to views is about audience reach.

Webnovel has a very specific reading market. If your story fits to their market majority and popular format, it's likely to gain reads and a solid ratio.

I guess I'm not inclined to say that this ratio defines a quality story (grammar, design etc). How many complaints has been made on this forum about some promoted and popular works being poor or so so quality? Then again, most readers here are forgiving in that sense.

I do agree on the need for reflection and continous improvements, but there's also the risk of doing too much to suit the masses that you'd loose yourself to the audience rather than the other way around.

You noted some interesting perspectives. Thanks for sharing them. Good job on the stories.

My worst baby still seems unable to reach epic level. 130k reads but 16 collections still is ways from 10K:1 :D

My main story has dropped to the area of 800:1. I still have hopes of seeing it hit one million reads in the far future; associated with a worse than 1K:1 ratio though ;)

Veronica8 I meant what u said in third paragraph, this is just my general idea of a 'what rank is my book at', lije different genres have more readers etc. Like FanFic argueably the most traffic heavy of genres in WN, which correlates to my ratio, however that is my ost recent book, so its also my best book currently.

While horror has lesser niche in WN so has less v/c. I also improved from my last two novels, but I tried slower story line to lay uto more info, but I feel like I lost a lot of readers that way which both correlate to the poor ratio, plus my first time writing horror stuff while I don't have much interacrion with thegenre other than video games and My House of Horrorsm which was what made me write the book as I cant marathon anymore. The horror still better than other originals I tried in the genre though which were about ten-twenty, just ones that looked horror focused.
