I’m going to delete the old chapters and post the new chapters in my rewrite, but here’s the problem.

I currently have 2k8 views, and if I delete all the old chapters I’m gonna have around 2k5 views, it’s gonna be a large number until you look at my readers and favourites.

Like I’ve got 2k5 views but only 38 readers, and I see one with 2k views but 100 readers, so I’m wondering what’s the average Views/ Readers on this site?

Look at reads instead of views...
Views go also up with each user just clicking on your novel without opening a chapter. Or each F5 that happens. So a day more on the frontpage when posting a new story can raise views a lot. Same with time in trending.

Most of those views will never interact with your story anyway.
So if you want to bother with statistics... use reads. Or favs. Or whatever ^^

Agreed with this, best to look at your readers. My stats, are 72k views with 707 readers on my current story, I don’t really bother checking on the views but I am keeping tabs with the readers cause that’s what matters

If completed novels count, my first story has 12k views and 70 readers. Most of the views came from when I posted 8 chapters in a single day, but that didn't translate to actual readers.

As for the imbalance between readers and views, it may have to do with the tags. Some tags will get a bunch of readers and little views, such as GL and isekai, two of the most popular tags in this site. If you have more views than readers, you may not be writing a story that caters to the site's main demographic. Remember, a reader is someone who saved your story into their Reading List, as in took the time to actual store it into a folder in their profile. You can have like a 1k views in a single upload but that only means you had 1k onlookers, not actual readers.

6,409 total readers. I'm not sure how good or bad that is considering I have like over a million page views. These numbers gotta be combined from the readers and views from all my stories tho.

But even so, 6k readers seems a bit low considering the page views? Yeah.

The more chapters you have, the more views you'll have. Readers and favorites matter more, and comments too, helps when readers actually take the time to say what they feel about the chapter(or post cookie emojis, or demand weaponized flags)

I only care about getting lots and lots of one-star ratings. I only have 229 between my two stories.

190k views and around 640 readers. However, the number of actual readers is around 150-200.

I'm currently at 263k Views and 1528 Readers. Nothing impressive when you have a ongoing novel with over 100 chapters.
Although if we're talking between all my novels I'm at 290k Views and 1899 Readers.

Story on Royalroad: 42k views, 171 followers/43 favorites = Over a 13-month period with 93 chapters out so far.
And the same story on Scribblehub: 105 readers, 7k views overall / 2.8k views in chapters = 5 months period
Spacebattles: 1k views, 18 readers = Since June/July or so

90K views and 667 readers, but it's just as SailusGebel said, it more like, 150-200 readers in reality. Probably less.
