We see the reviews and we see the stars but unless we go into the book page, we can't see how many different users voted for that 5-star?

example on the profile page we see:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(5)

can it look like...?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(5) (22 ratings)

You mean like how much people voted that in, rather than how much voted for 5 star?

Yes. At least on the dashboard. I saw that I had 5 stars for one book and was surprised to find it was by 5 different people. Then I had 5 stars on another story and realized it was only one rating. Even if on the dashboard, it would be useful to know how many people made that vote.

hmmm—well, not really something I'd vote for. At the very least, it's an idea, but nothing too important for a concerning issue.

It's just one extra click to get to the number of ratings/votes, so I don't think it's that big of an issue to request a feature for.

I get where you're coming from because law of averages means 5 votes of three 5s, a 2, and a 1 will make your book show up as 3.6, something that seems to be considerably lower than the "average" you see and is way lower than the probable quality/appeal of the work. And can affect random people's probability of clicking the work.

But the feature's not too much of a concerning or big deal imo

I only ask because if we go into the book info, our views are counted with the visitors' views so I literally can't get that info, even in the dashboard.

I thought this was for any feature, not just critical ones. I'll be more careful in the future. ??
