Only God knows.


But if I had to give my personal opinion, if you write smut + genderbend + girl's love, then it's certain that you will sooner or later be on trending.

Also, be popular then stop your upload for a month before uploading again. That will guarantee you a spot in trending.

How Do you make it to trending? Well, first of all, you should understand that trending on SH uses magic to work. So if you desire to get your place high above, you better start paying your SH taxes. The current currency is chocolate coins. Your first job is to find a way to send a bunch of chocolate coins(half of a baker's dozen) to Tony. But be warned, they MUST NOT melt in any way when being transported.

You should also be ready to pay a great price. It can destroy you mentally until nothing but a husk of your former self remains. Only the worthy will persevere and earn the golden ticket to trending(and life). The price is, giving all of @K5Rakitan stories a one-star rating. Know that this task is hard as you must do it CAREFULLY. I know that it's hard, but I believe in you. I believe that you are the chosen one, and one day your novel will be on top, and the reign of terror will finally end. I pray for your success, young human.

No one other than Tony knows how trending works. Though I was able to get on trending once by a fluke. The only advice I can offer is to be consistent with your upload schedule. I was releasing a chapter a day every day for 6 months before getting on trending so maybe that has something to do with it. I know some people release a chapter once every 2 weeks and somehow keep making it to trending.

A safe way is to lower your average interaction by not uploading for a while and then uploading again. But it is not worth it. Even if you upload once a week you get more from it than uploading once a month and reaching trending. And even that is just a "safe" way not a guarantee.

I believe someone on the forum broke down how the algorithm works, so not just Tony.

But sadly, I'm too lazy go searching for it on forums. Please I can't recall if its this person or another who said that.

I've been wondering how I make it to trending. Does it gotta do with views or something else.
1. Regular Upload Schedule 2-3x a week.
2. Be your story's advertising Salesman.
3. Get gud. If you fall, get up. Continue git gud.

***Bonus: Slap a cute or :blob_hmm: anime cover on.
Write in SH's popular genres: smut, gl, genderbend.
Avoid NTR.

Follow those steps to boost your statistics carefully:
  • Use the GL/Smut/Gendbend genres
  • Use a clickbait cover
  • Use aggregators and clones
The trending algorithm averaged daily chapters views/comment. It's easier to get into trending if you don't post a new chapter but still get many views on your latest chapter.

You likely need more views for trending and you also need them to happen in a single day. So having a consistent schedule where readers expect your chapter to come out at a specific time would definitely help.

Or have a very catchy picture\title\tags\synopsis that you get enough clicks from curious readers.

Having more than 2000 readers will get you at least soft-banned from the top 9.

There are a ton of other nuances and peculiar tricks. It appears to be two separate alternating algorithms. So expect to see the result of your recent chapter exactly two days after. AFAIK it also helps to "focus" on one and post chapters at least every other day as you want not just consistently high views each day but "peaks and volleys"

I don't quite know how to get trending despite being on it many times but I can tell you that once you pass 500k views you become ineligible to be on front page trending.
