    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    I only have the medians in the pictures, otherwise I had to calculate with the average. They shouldnt be too different though...

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    View per Chapter. Probably correct, although I cannot confirm that directly. But the average LitRPG novel with less or equal to 50 chapters has 1111 views/chapter, while the average only has 726. Over 50 chapters LitRPG has 1908 views/chapter, while the rest has 1609, so its still better than...

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    Well based on views per chapter, it only outperforms the average chapter by 66%. Still a huge number, but not near your 200%. You only focused on some popular smut novels and not all of them. That´s correct.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    I actually don´t. What is your conclusion based on this sample size? I took all novels from this site (except the deleted ones) and compared them by tags.

    Those are all popular smut novels, what about those that arent?

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    By hand? So, the average is 0.005975 reader/view and smut novels have 0.00535 reader/view. Smut stories have around 11% less reader subscription, although there can be multiple reasons for this: Rereads, how views are counted in general, readers that are only here for smut and so on.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    You still have some problems with this approach. For example you will never know for sure by how much smut gets more views. Or if it is only the case by authors you are aware of, for example those that hit trending.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    Maybe their other stories are just boring? Or these authors are made for writing smut.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    They are good at getting views per chapter. That´s what I meant. That´s impossible, at least for me. Deleted books don´t show up in any list, except the one you mentioned.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    Simply put, I couldn´t. To do this, I would need 5045 requests instead of just 195. But a quick search reveals that only 22 pages of novels are completed, so that´s around 11% of all of them. In comparison, there are 96 pages of hiatus novels.

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    Alright: Jsoup (Java), then MongoDB (although you can skip this step with this number of novels), then exporting it to .json, then converting to .csv, then to .xlsx to delete the _id field, then back to .csv (dont ask me...) and then importing it to ElasticSearch + Kibana

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    Long running smut novels get more views per chapter than the average as well. For each chapter, there are 2736 smutty views, while only 1609 for the rest. The data on the combination of tags may not be representative as there are only 65 Smut+LitRPG stories. These generate 3631 views/chapter...

    Dive into the Metadata – A ScribbleHub Analysis of Smut

    So… I had an hour time and needed sample data for a similar project and I already had the infrastructure up and running, so I thought of crawling ScribbleHub and analyse what I found. First, to give you an idea what´s possible, a picture of my novel. Everything marked was useless or...

    Resolved Readers gained per month doesn´t load.

    You can fix this by switching to year and then back to month, but even then there is sometimes weird behaviour of the graph like switching between year and month repeatedly.

    Resolved Wrong tooltip for time of sheldued chapters

    The title says it all. No need to be fixed though, just wanted you to know.

    Law of Magic

    I do soft world building, so I am not explaining the limitations too deeply in my story. Still, there are some like not everyone can use every element, monsters cannot use other magic, except the magic they were born with and that the capacity for mana kind of forbids spells that are too...

    The Anti-Reader: Worst Possible Combination of Tags and Genres

    Just looked through the list. Child Abuse, Child Protagonist and something sexual. Definetly something I would hate to see.
