Hello! I´m quite new here (Over a month and only writting some fan fiction for fun) Could you explain this thing about ratio? I don´t really understand it.
Today I have uploading an my original novel and I have 41 collections and 1812 views. Is it that good for the first day?
I´m my fan fiction I have 5839 collections and 1.284.000 views. I guess it is about 1:220. Is it okay or not?
GreatSage_Master1 welcome. The ratio isn't an exact science, but it's the only stat we have to trend reading interest.
You divide your views by your collection total. 1284000/5839 = 219:1 So, this means, roughly, per 219 views someone added your book to their library with an intention to read.
Since you have a healthy number, I'd say readers are actually adding your book and reading actively.
Ratio aside. Nearing 6K in collections! Wow, that's amazing. I'll be dancing once I go into 500 on one book or collectively across my portfolio, and that's more than breaking through a ceiling. Your fan fiction must be amazing to attract that much reader attention. I attempted fan fiction once, but I'm not good at it. I found it was very hard to do.
390:1... My collections are increasing slowly, but the ratio keeps getting higher and higher ㅠㅡㅠ
Veronica8 So is like that! I always thought the more views my novel got, the better and I didn´t paid much atention to the collections.
Well, I have another novel with 958 collections and 130k views (Ratio: 136), I drope it because I didn´t have time to write that novel. Should I continue that novel? I mean for aiming to get a contrat with webnovel (My father is threatening me. if I don´t get a contrat I would have to find a job)
GreatSage_Master1 It's best to finish a novel, especially if you have a fanbase following for it. If you have reasons not to finish, as long as you forewarn readers about pending drops, they do grumble, but they're also appreciative of being forewarned.
lenapresents It can be like that for original non contracted works. Since we don't have much chance for exposure on this site and need to leverage off Discord and Forums, as well as other social media accounts.
It should start to grow, once you get a few readers following the story, especially if they post genuine reviews and rating. The story would cycle through the "similar story" AI robotic selection list a lot more frequently.
Mine in my story When Back in Time is 130:1, is that bad or not?
dillydally_girl that's pretty good. Nice.
Competing with me for worst? Hmm. 107K and 13 collections.
StenDuring lol, I don't think my story can even reach that 
. Over 100k views? Sounds like you attract a lot of silent readers.
1461 Collections and 1032k views for NL:SC
Ratio 706.36: 1
My normal ratio. Hovers between 700-800 ... heh.
Chryiss 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.
Yup!
PsyberRose wow dream stats 
Nice.
I'll be tracking my ratio for a very long time.
I was thinking. If you divide your views with your chapters (1000 views : 10 chapters = 100 ratio) and that ratio you divided it with your collections (100 ratio : 10 collections = 10:1 ratio). Wouldn´t it be more exact?
GreatSage_Master1 possibly, you could go the extra mile and divide to an appropriate read, but I don't think this would be accurate since it's not stripping away other factors that amount to a View. It also takes the assumption that the read % per chapter on your device is the norm.
Example
Total view /total no of chp = view per chp
Chp view/1.50% = appx read per chp.
I noticed when I was reading, as soon as I reached the bottom of a chapter the % read was roughly 1.5%. Not sure if this is due to my phone size or book size etc.
I have 3876 views/ 4 collections on mine
So that would be 1:969
I am wondering if this is good or not, or perhaps its too early to tell since my novel currently has 10 chapters only
I don't know the health of my new book. I am struggling a lot with it. It's very new and I hope that it goes strong. But with so many new writers, the future looks a bit bleak.
ALICE IN THE SEVEN LANDS - 82:1 (People need to read it. It's very very new with just 6 chapters)
CAN YOU MEND MY BROKEN HEART? - 174:1
niharikabhol you've got 82:1 and 174:1 ratios...
These are great. My novel never even went lower than 200:1 ratio...
Anyway, ZQSC for today is at 250:1.
niharikabhol Those be good. Anything under 500:1 is good. Once you reach 100K views and about 200 collections, it's really a matter of maintaining readership by then I feel. The collection adds is where it starts to matter most from this point on.
I have started writing this novel around 2 months ago and then I just dropped It. 2-3 weeks ago, I came back to my novel and I started thinking that I should not let this story go to waste and I started writing It again. I don't Intend to drop It now and I update whenever I have the time. Right now It has 16 chapters, every chapter Is around 1k words long or more. In the first 11-12 chapters, almost no one had read the book. I would get around 100-200 views per day. Only 20-30 people put the book In their library at that time so I was feeling kinda down and I wanted to drop the novel since I saw It was not doing very well. To my surprise, a couple of days ago, the novel boomed and right now I have 72 collections and 21 k views. it was as if the book had been reborn from the ashes just like the phoenix bird. Even at this moment, the book Is doing very well. What I'm trying to say Is that If you don't give up and you continue to pursue your dreams then one day you will achieve something great just like my book has been reborn from the ashes. Here Is the link to the book If you want to check it out:

The current views to collection ratio Is 291.
