I have started to write an novel named ' Detectives of Parallel World' as I have uploaded 12 chapters I haven't get more to then 1k views please suggest me, help me
Why I'm getting less views in writing the novel ?
BhupendraGanvir I've written 7 chapters on my Novel and have about 1.2k views and roughtly 10 collections.
Idk if that's close to what you've gotten but it might be standard, I'm not sure how the viewer system works.
But if you wanna do a review swap I'm game
BhupendraGanvir
First thing first - Do you have a cover?
Second - Do you think that your synopsis is alluring enough to get someone to read even the first chapter?
Third - Did you upload those chapters all at once? Or in 2-3 days? Views take time to grow.
Overall, remember, writing is a process that takes patience, patience and once again, yes, you guessed it, luck. If you manage to get some hooks that will get readers to your novel, you have better chances of getting big. Also, when you get some loyal readers, ask them to write reviews for you. With 10 reviews, your book will receive a rating (which immensly helps)
Yes I have given it whole 1 week time and it nearly get 1 k views , hey I'm not depressed but I m happy about it , I not depressed for those people who didn't read it but I'm happy for that people who read it
Thanks for reply
BhupendraGanvir I read some of your novel and i think you would get a lot more views and return readers if you were to get a Editor to kind of clean it up some
My new work Steel Legion started with like a thousand views when it started. Now it is still a thousand and six hundred. Pretty slow progress actually. It really depend if you have captivated the readers...
Allen_Clay012 mines only been out about a day and a half and im barely over 1.3k i just keep putting out more chapters in hopes of attracting more people, sadly i have only 1 review and nothing else to go on if its good or not lol
But on the other hand i enjoyed reading your novel CypherWulf

Slewis very well... Hehehe. By the way, which one?
I will read and post a review soon. Probably thia day.
BhupendraGanvir I've been writing for a month now. My novel just started to increase views when it got ranked under new (it has like 20+ chaps). While my other novel that I don't update and just left it with 4 chapters have the same views since week 2 , until now it has 1k views.
I think one of the key is you update stably. Advertise your own work. There is a thread I read regarding beginners for writers. It was helpful. I think it's under 'Guide to Webnovel Forum'. There is a link for new writers.
Allen_Clay012 Steel Legion i plan to keep reading it as well :)
It's torture all authors feel. We eagerly waste so much time watching that counter and waiting for comments/notifications on our novels.
Welcome to the club

BhupendraGanvir Did you upload the chapters at once or over time like in daily releases? Readers here seem to like seeing daily releases or at least some regular release rate of chapters.
As MotivatedSloth has said. A good cover and summary is also key to hooking in readers.
If you're new to creative writing, getting some feedback is a good idea. You can achieve this by participating in "swap review" threads. Another writer should be able to give you some points of impressions.

BhupendraGanvir hello there! maybe the genre you are writing doesn't fit the current platform of the site. wn caters more to romance and wish fulfillment novels. and fanfics are also on the rise. if you love continuing your original work, one thing i could advise you though is to make face slapping scenes, humor, and instant gratification scenes on your early chaps, you must even start it on the first chapter to get your potential readers to get hooked and continue reading your novel to the latest chapter you've written. or at least, initial chapters that gets the interest of the readers and would make them think of what's next. a good tip to be better on this is to read the top novels in the rankings and copy/innovate on them and their styles. look how those authors get readers by creating death defying cliff hangers. hahaha! the readers flood in them novels like life saving waters in a world full of sand. hope this somehow helps you. glhf writing! cheers!
Immovable087 hello there! maybe the genre you are writing doesn't fit the current platform of the site. wn caters more to romance and wish fulfillment novels. and fanfics are also on the rise
I kind of agree with this too. Different sites attract certain readership. Like RR is good for LitRPG stuff, Inkitt is does well for contemporary by my experience. WP is good for mainstream... Every site offers different readership. It's a matter of finding out which ones work best.
That's honestly pretty on point!
Slap slap slap those faces, slappy slap-
add some erotic click bait cover for those extra views
Ah the experiences/comments/reviews from readers on each site is quite different too!
Royal Road demands to be entertained- and a medium level on grammar gradings (Wn is like....grammar bar on the floor)
Scribble hub is pretty new but interactive- I've been posting on it for less than a month but getting lots of comments. (they a solid 7/10 on the grammar harshness)
Wattpad......we no not speak of wattpad.
Of course, fanfictions sites are whole different genre. Honestly, I don't know why I would read fanfics on here? When so many fanfics archives with a better sorting search and #### of results/stories are already on them? But that's why we talking original stories I guess.
I'm writing for two months now and I constantly check my notifications for any comments or collections. There are 3-4 readers who sometimes comment. Otherwise it's absolute silence.
You can hear even a pin dropping on the floor, it is that silent...sighenthu_reader psh I'd be super happy with one comment on my chapters lol I've been wanting solid feed back since I started 2 days ago xD but your pain I imagine is about 2 months times my own lol
It's strange on my side though... Land Warrior once only got like 9k views when I stopped writing. When I returned it reached 32k+. It multiplied more than three times. I am just surprised, that's all...
Slewis 
. Sometimes I even lose my motivation to write.
Allen_Clay012 yeah I saw the views which is pretty awesome!
enthu_reader I mostly write for the fun of it, you can check mine out if youd like :)

ALSO do you happen to know if having 2.0 on the (Daily Read Chapters) is good or not? I cant tell from rentntion bc it just shows 0 for everything
Slewis Sometimes viewership takes time to multiply. If our works does not match what is really the type of genre which the readers of WN want. We will just have to endure the long wait...
Allen_Clay012 yeah I understand that, I cant really complain I'm getting at this rate 1k+ views a day I just wanna see if they're return readers or not lol
Btw you got a discord?
Slewis Discord? nope I don't think I have one yet

enthu_reader That means you're on the true writer's path. :angel: :grin:
Adding: use this time to revise to your hearts content without repercussion. Also, learning from others or sources to further develop your skills. It's a good time to hone the craft, experiment and go wild. :grin:

enthu_reader i feel you 
Cheer up though!!

enthu_reader Yep. That's also part of the craft. Writing is a discipline as much as it's a joy. Loosing motivation is an easy thing to do. Especially when offline responsibilities gets in the way. I had a 12-year hiatus for one of my series, so I can definitely testify to that.
The trick is to keep writing whenever possible. Remind yourself why you want to write and the initial joy you got out of it.
It's okay to take a breather now and then, but come back to writing something so you don't leave it off for too long. Even if it's just 200 words of random chatter between characters.
Keep writing :smile_cat:
Adding: Be proud of your achievements. You've posted a story on Webnovel. That's an achievement even if it might not seem like one. Some writers draft but don't post anything for years. Pat yourself on the back now and then.
Yeah I had a good buffer of half a dozen chapters for my book, now the inspiration is suddenly running dry and the buffer is no more, sorta feels like tripping in the first leg of a race.
I add to the next chapter go meh then go try and revitalize that inspiration, come back, write a bit more and the cycle continues.
That is so true. I had stockpiled 15 chapters but I didn't have the courage to press the Publish button. I was only a reader till last Nov but now I'm an author of a story. It's so surreal. 
I try to focus only on writing and improving myself but sometimes I can't help think about my results.
I guess 172 colls in 2 months is a little slow.. plus when I feel that I have written a very good chp or it was a good plot twist and I don't get any comments, it just sometimes bothers me and I lose my spirit
And then I see other new novels with less chps than mine with great views and reviews and ratings compared to mine and it dampens my mood. Sigh.
But I'm hanging in there 
for the sake of my 172 readers I will never give up!
enthu_reader 172 colls
That's genuine reader interest in the hundreds! Definitely give yourself credit there. 
Darth_Xiane I try to buffer, but I get too trigger happy and post chapter 
.
That's why I can never do mass release. I did it once and it almost killed my fingers. Like doing a Nanowrimo weekend.
Yeah. When it feels like a chore taking a short break is good.
Guys.
Let me set things clear.
CLICKBAIT TITLE.
CLICBKAIT COVER.
The first aspect elevated my story to 3k collections in 2 monhs
The second aspect turned those 3k colls into 6.5k colls in 1 and a half month.
And well, I write some crazy amounts of chapters, so that might be the case as well.
Time, time gives more natural exposure obviously. More people browsing and checking through adds up.
It's hard but as authors we gotta sometimes just chill and let our world off into the world (like parents to their children T-T)
enthu_reader so true. That's why I am encouraging my self to just update and not compare my book to other books. It makes me less motivated if I compare them. Sometimes I feel bad when I advertise and no one seems so interested. But time will surely tell. And our hard work will be pay off. Why don't you try to have another platform to advertise your novel? Like Wattpad or something. Actually, most of my readers are from Wattpad. Because of them, I have a courage to continue my novel.
This is really the hard life of an author. Imagine the hard work of those author that is getting acknowledge now. They have gone through this and gathered loyal readers that followed them every platform. Cheers for us!

I tend to sit on like 5 chapters giving them time to digest and adjust before I release them. Most of the time, it's because I'm trying make a complicated buildup or arc that spans many chapters.
And apparently, I'm torturing some of my readers right now, by giving them what seems to be the standard isekai story but then launching them on a roller coaster. I'm sitting on at least 5 chapters of cliffhanging material, lol.
Well before I released my book I had the first 16 chapters in the wings then did two chapters a day for a week, in retrospect I should have stretched it to a chapter a day, woulda got two weeks out of it now am down to about 12 hours before my usual release time and instead of two chapters i have the skeleton of half a one. Gah must write like the wind!
I'm from India too but I didn't give up
