    I just want to vent

    Once upon a time I was also angry at why people like stuff X and not stuff Y. Like why do people watch trashy movies/play trashy games/read simplest and most baisc novels? But then I realised- so do I. And so do most of the people who are annoyed at the popular stuff. I do read more ambiitious...

    Information about at which chapter people stop reading/drop novel

    This somehow must have become the most controversial suggestion I've yet made- as in, there is a big number of people voting it down and up. The RR solution might be a good one- just give an option to disable those stats, so that you can't see them as an author. In a way I get your pain...

    How do some stories get advertised on Novelupdates?

    I'm not sure what causes it exactly, but this NU box sometimes gets updated every 5minutes or so, and sometimes it refreshes 2 times an hour. So no idea. Also, it doesn't seem to refresh if there aren't 3 new stories, unless X time passess. But neither seems to be the case now. Though I don't...

    I would also like to make small correction to my previous statement- I didn't notice RR implemented the "Recommended for you" carousel (still in beta), which seems like a way to address the earlier mentioned problem, hopefully it works well! Also I know they have "Popular this week" but its...

    I looked at your series, and the I have a harem... series, if it wasn't on trending yet... is because your chapters are under 1000 words. I don't know how low the threshold is, but chapters under ~1000 words are penalised from going on trending. And it seems very trendable. Try relapsing 2...

    @meili go on novelupdates, and click on any series. On the right there is a box with 3 novels from scribblehub (3 last updated novels, refreshed every x minutes, and I believe 3 novels have to rotate for refresh to happen). Many of my readers found my series this way

    RR gave the general description of their algorithm in their FAQ or forums, don't remember, SH I analysed using the data I scraped, people habits of not looking past 1 page are a known phenomenon (part of the reason why most sites now use infinite scroll), rest is the general consequence of...

    It makes it harder for the top to ever change. SH system makes it harder to get to trending at all, but makes the higher ranked section more dynamic, and you always can grow/get on trending if you try hard enough within the system. Well, there is also novel updates integration, which might be...

    Both have problems, and both have positives- RR system makes it so that after you fall out trending... you no longer have any method of having your novel promoted within the system pretty much (most people only look at top 20 within genre, so after you use up your trending, but before you get to...

    RR and SH algorithm work differently. RR algorithm values relative increase in a way that makes small fictions easier to get on, but after you pass certain size, pretty much impossible. SH values absolute increase, which makes it harder for small novels, but allows medium sized and large sized...

    "Discovered"

    It's an interesting characteristic of the current english speaking market. Most people who are here know some stuffs about light novels etc, and they are discovered, nearly universally, on the japanese equivalens of SH/RR, pretty much everything that gets published has to be beta tested that...

    Information about at which chapter people stop reading/drop novel

    I understand, but this data could be presented in an anonymous way, so that instead of seeing XXX read this chapter, we could see 13/80 regular readers read this chapter. But there is an argument ot be made that this data should only be available after chapter had like 10-20 views, to avoid...

    Has this been implemented? Because suddenly I can't find a single inactive series in similar-series boxes @Tony

    Relationships and Romance. What is "needy"

    Romantic stories tend to show things that are exciting and nice... in a book. Which you can at any point put down, or walk away. I think that things like needy characters, or tsunderes or stalkerish boyfriends, or overt displays of affection, or unrealistically big boobs and penises are a side...

    Information about at which chapter people stop reading/drop novel

    Occasionally readers drop novels (remove from reading list). Or just stop reading. It would be nice to have a feature allowing us to see which chapters have the highest drop rates, and which chapters were read by how many of people that have us on the reading list- so if for example half of...

    Cover feedback

    On this website text barely matters, so as long as it's not ugly it's fine. I think the second cover is better, but both seem serviceable
