I am just assuming btw as I don't know what your novel actually is, anyways...
*Having a cover (I think this was by Wattpad statistics) boosts your valid readers by x20
-You don't need a cover at the start or whatever, but definately get one in the future. Like I don't have a cover yet, but I'm doing fine, or at least I think, new too WN.
*Have good title. Best titles are usually two-three words (in my opinion...). Best books would usually have the format too. Only Exceptions are like series, ex) Harry Potter: & the Wizarding Stone, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, etc. (prob spelled those titles wrong a little).
*Have good synopsis. Could easily boost your views to make every1 ignore you. It doesn't need to be the best... but at least good enough to convey your book and clickbait.
Word Count: 1700 is kinda too short (again, my opinion...), at least aim for above 2k. Prologue can be exception. Why? Multiple Reasons. One, it annoys readers. Two, Your story doesn't progress as much and lacks a lot more depth. Three, most popular online novels are at least above 2k in 99+ out of 100 cases. If you wish to have higher quality, aim for 2.8k-4.3k. Mot professionally written, books meant for sales and publishing, are written around that average word count per chapter in fiction stories. If you wish to aim for better quality, aim for higher word count. Why do authors of online novels are 2-3k average generally? It is because it is simply easier to write. Less thought is needed, it is easier, and number one reason is contracts. For example WN contract. If you for some reason decided to sell all your copyright for small* short term benefits, like the majority of authors on WN, then you are pressed for time, as you will literally lose everything if you dont meet your quota. (I think) Authors are required to post daily. So it is easier to post shorter chapters.
Quality: Just like word count, it is a choice and also somewhat innate. Like writing slower for better quality, or writing faster for lesser quality, writing more words per chapter for better quality, or less for lesser quality. No offense, but since u post daily, and are also new to WN, then your quality is probably not the best. There is a reason why so many stories are good at the start but then quickly go to poo. Another things is grammer, basically your english knowledge. Of course people whose first or major language is English have a huge advantage, same as older people. I say at least like 10th grade plus? Below that would be lacking quality. You also need to edit your chapters. YES it takes fricken more forever than it already is forever, but it is for quality. Do I edit? Sort of... Better authors defiantly do though. For me, I write in google docs, copy & paste to word, fix, copy and paste to WN and give quick scim and fix. If I'm not lazy enough, I would reread to edit. Now you also need to edit on different days. Your mind works differently at different times, you'll definitely catch stuff that you missed. For me, I generally reread random chapters I didn't heavily edit every once in a while to give refresher and edit chapters.
Plot: Cliche bad. Avoiding cliche somewhat bad. Having too much cliche is horrible, but at times you also need it. It's hard to be original in a world that most likely already has something you just thought of, albeit a different setting. Rookie authors have major problem with plot holes. How to fix? Just think a lot... but honestly you just need to read not just read though, think about stories of the thing you viewed. Movies, games, books, etc. You need to be inspired by something before you write. You also need a basic plot line before you write. For example, MC gets a recall ability in a world with Martial Arts. -> major plot event -> major plot event -> major plot event... things in between are improved and thought up as you go. But you need the big events and know who your MC, ML, FL, Major Enemy, etc. are. Especially the different arcs in your novel
Characters: Don't make it 2D... please... like every single Isekai... Give it depth. I don't really want to explain this one as its complicated but theres bunch of tutorials, tips, and knowledge out there with just one search.
Descriptions: You need it, but don't over do it. To make your story vivid it needs good descriptions. Emotion, not stating how she is happy, but the subtle smile on her face, not how it was hot, but how the sweat dripped off your arms, not how the scary the killer was, but the dark aura enclosing on him... I'm getting lazy, so reason I'm typing less...
Reviews? Don't ask for them, at least in places like forum. Especially review swaps, they are simply fake. They don't help at all, and if you are one of those people, wouldn't be surprised if you are one of those that delete every single negative review. Reviews will come naturally. You can ask your readers periodically, but don't force them. Like just remind them like end of every arc or end of story. At most just ask powerstones. Most reviewers dislike reviewing early on in the story, as most novels true quality can really only be seen around 100-200 chapters as that is where the author's true improv and battle of self emotions start (Lazyness, repetiveness, etc.).
Release Schedule: You already have one. Unless you want writing to take up the majority of your life and day though, I would suggest slowing it down and boost word count a little. My chapters take about 4-6 hours average for around 3k words that are carefully planned for the plot. Of course there is other stuff as I write, but I am slowing down my writing in order to keep quality and think of the future outline. Also, online novels are essentially different from publishing novels. For example, I am writing two things. One for publish, one for wn. Publishing novel is very, very slow as I am aiming for top quality. Merely writing 250 words could take up an hour. Not to mention that I am editing and rereading over and over unlike online novel. Its really sad. Quality is how much you put into it. Release schedule gains you a more loyal fanbase += more stones and free advertisement.
Self Bias: Essentially you said that you are very good. However, that is most likely not the case. Knowing one's faults is a thing that most people can't man up to for some reason. Although I don't have this problem, a majority of people do, like 49/50 or 99/100. LIke if you ever played competitive video games, how much times have people pointed out that you suck and why... without them ever looking at themselves?... Now, what about yourself? You need to attack yourself if you every truly want to improve, not to mention improve more quickly.
Views: Most of those 100k views of new novels you claim are because they are authors with an already established fan base, are Fan Fic, are about a very R18 title-pic-&synopsis, or a winner of a WPC. At least I'm guessing you really mean new novels. Also, lots of novels with shorter chapters than you, are actually older than your novel, at least assuming you posted one a day. Lots of novels on WN are dropped, and for some god **** reason, they won't let you delete novels you dropped. Views take time. Also note that views are actually just people who clicked on your book (taking you the the synopsis with the reviews and stuff). It also does not differentiate between different people. If you clicked on that page 100 times, you just got 100 more views. Valid readers are the real viewers. It is hard to differentiate though... Don't like the system as much... Anyways, you won't magically get best book ever. Biggest jumps in views will be when you are featured in the front page or browse section. Easiest way to get that is contracts.
Comments: Generally, better chapters would have more comments, sucky/better books have more reviews, but it also depends on genre and flow. If you have a fast paced start, or a super descriptive click bait prologue, than congrats, you just got more comments. You prob need around 1k bookmarks before you start getting comments every chapter, around 100 is periodic comments, though that last part is just a pure guess on what I have right now.
Inspiration: Drop your dang novel right now if you don't even like writing that story. I remember the first ever book I tried to write was for an dark apocalyptic thing cause there was a money reward. I fricken hated it, and the story was sucky, even though I thought it was good the very first day (because its your work, duh). You need inspiration before you write a novel, and also have a general outline with world background. Read good books that are similar to your novel too. You can see what they did good and what to avoid.
Other stuff: idk my brain farted, forgot what else there is.
