non-conclusive since authors are not tagging their novels with gender properly and im not going through 937 novels to check the protag's gender.

also,

Female leads go from 25% of the platform → 38% of top 10. Male leads stay flat at ~15–17% across all tiers.
59% of novels don't tag protagonist gender at all, and they underperform across the board (7% top 10 vs 9% baseline). Tagging gender at all correlates with better outcomes, and female-tagged especially so.

Thanks. I’m curious whether you have the same analysis for Fanfiction and Harem.

rest of the charts. Futanari is highest tag with favourites/chapter ratio. futanari readers be liking ig

That's really funny, since when I first started posting on SH I actually thought that tag would alienate a lot of potential readers if my story used it. Never would have guessed it's the exact opposite, if anything.

in the site bruv. just search your name

Is there a search function to see like the times my story was trending? Cuz I check the trending list every three days to see if my story makes the list, it's rare when it does and I don't think it's ever made it in the front page for trending, not since my first year of writing, that is.

Thanks! Ah, only once this year was I ranked within the top 25.

I thought you meant that I was trending in the front page top 10. That's what I'm aiming for, well mostly to just grow my audience. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
