This novel got 245 readers. with 2 chapters, 790 words total. Basically, if we want to succeed, we have to learn from this, because those tags, this description and this image are what made it the most successful launch of a novel from a new author I've seen yet.

Behold! Our new example!

I don't think it's because of the description?
""Baaaaaaah"
Why can I open my eyes again? And why am I bleating??
Wha - I'm some farmer's livestock? I refuse to be eaten!
-----------------------------
Warning, this is my first attempt at writing and chapters will probably be super short until school holidays"

I have to get more data, but I really think I will just train a model to recognise anime girls face on pictures, to answer this question, because it really seems that "Girls love", "Gender Bender" and "Isekai", paired with cute cover, are worth more than nearly anything else. And no, this is not a sour post, more of a fascination and curiosity.

Bruh, I'm at chapter 6 and it has 35 readers. :ROFLMAO:
Serious suggestion- your cover looks nice, but that's for noobs. Make the girl bigger- her face should fill the whole cover, and fill her eyes with some catchy color. Also, change the background to white, while leaving the hair color like the current gradient. Not sure about skin. That's my serious advice for success. Try it for a week and report back your findings.

Not just the cover, I felt like my slow-burn novel doesn't catch much attention. But I have faith in my story, so was like, yeah whatever.

Yeah, but that's the point of this post- this novel has no text, so it can't be whether it's slow burn or not that decided its popularity. It's views are from people who decided to TRY reading it. If you want people to at least see if they like your slow burn novel, you have to somehow catch their attention, and as we can see in this example- anime face, and good tags, are what you need. And I'm not above this man, my novel is an isekai litrpg, I'm just giving advice.

You don't have to try to read anything to be a reader.
You can just say "huh, this is a pretty unique concept, I'd like to remember this for later." Click on Add to Library, and you're a reader. Even if you never read a single word.

With 21 installments and 97 readers, if I divide that by 3, I get 7 installments and 32 readers. 32 readers is what I started with when I first posted it on SH. Cute cover? Check. Girls love? Check. Isekai? Good blurb? Check. Luck? Forgetaboutit!
