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.

    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!

        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). WouldnĀ“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.

            Veronica8 This is so freaking weird. Those 50 lost collections returned! I don't know what happened. Poof! They reappeared. I guess the losses must've been a technical glitch.

            Nice technical glitch :grin:

              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.

                          ElectroBrain1 Wow actually i am also wondering on how my book is doing, it has 11 chapters with 1500 words per chapter but now it only has 4 collection, i dont know if this is good or not so good.

                              yondi Sounds like my first book's stats when I just started publishing on WN. XD I'd say it's too early to tell because I hung around the almost 1k ratio before slowly dropping to now steadily around 600 (and that's with not updating it in the past several weeks). With each consecutive novel (3 total now), my ratio with each also improved from the previous. So increased tenure on the site and more exposure definitely bumps up that ratio.

                                Ah these numbers make my head spin.

                                But it interesting since I get little to no powerstones (bless those loyal readers). Thank you for the guide.

                                My best work is at 1:635
                                I'm just happy it's growing and that new ppl are reading it.

                                While my newest doesn't count, it literally has 1 collection add for it's 2k something views.
