How do the views for novels work?
Tomochinyan no need to thank me, thank your cute profile pic.
I don't think it's that strange. My novel is somewhere at 200+ in the ranking and I'm at around 10k views atm. I guess the higher you are in the ranking, the more views you get, since more people might click on it.
yansusustories not really. I have 35k views but was on #36 while the novels below me have higher view counts
YourSmileIsFading That's strange then ... I would have thought that made a difference
yansusustories well, rankings are based on the amount of stones you receive but honestly, I don’t get the view counts. If it’s only about the amount of clicks then I contributed half
bachingchung lols if you're interested the person in my pfp is Tomomi Itano :)
YourSmileIsFading I'm just confused by the views idec about the ranking (which is unfair in my opinion, they should create a new power stone system for original novels).
Where could I see the view count?
Tomochinyan the ranking on originals are separated. I think you mean, new voting stones exclusive for originals.
Blahblahblahblah go to the novel intro page. It should be up there with author name, the number of releases per week, chapter count, etc.
LetThereBeMagic Using web browser? or using the webnovel app on the mobile device?
Blahblahblahblah it's only available on app (for now)
YourSmileIsFading I see, thank you.

had 100k views but didn't even manage to get past 500. So I don't see how ranking has something to do with it
You get one view per chapter a reader looks at. So a novel's actual number of readers is usually far lower than the view count. It's how some novels can easily make it to 1m+ views. If you have 100 chapters, that's only around 10k readers.
Lighthouse ur like really late to the party. Like 7 months late.

What Modsan said.
Also, I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. I forget where I read it before, but I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that views work as follows:
A book gets a view each time someone opens the novel page for it. It counts as a single view regardless of whether they read 1 chapter or 100 chapters. However, there is a time limit on that (6 hours I think?), so if a reader checks in daily, it'll count as a view each day. But if a reader manually opens 100 chapters in a single hour, it'll still just count as a single view. This actually makes a lot of sense since it can't be abused. Also, if it worked as 1 view per chapter read by reader, then we would likely see older novels or novels with a lot of views skyrocket in views over time as new readers catch up to the daily release. But we don't really see this happen, and novels stay relatively consistent in their number of views per day once they settle down in the power rankings. So we can probably confirm that it isn't 1 view per chapter read.
