How often do you stalk your readers

[Rhaps]

Like the title said, how often do you get on the statistics and check on the recent readers?

For me, a good 20 minutes a day.

A lot. It's giving me OCD.

Kinda off-topic but,

Have you ever seen those accounts that register within a day, adds your novel to their reading list, and when you stalk them, it's only your novel?
Like, months after adding, it's only your novel in their reading list? Do you think those are bots?

Not yet at least. But I do have readers that disappeared for days or became inactive forever. It drives my sleepless nights insane, worrying for their safety.

I did a bit when I upload my first story and the initial weeks of uploading. But that behaviour has slowed down, and now I just check statistics once in while. As time goes on, probably will check it less and less.

I do it way too often. I've found some good stories by checking readers' profiles and their reading lists. >.>

But seeing people enjoy my story helps my mental health, so I'm not really trying to stop at all. Still really annoyed at my first one-star troll rating, however, but all the nice folks who've commented are awesome. Really glad I started writing here.

Before I had a kid, about once a month. Now, never.

You can check who are your readers?

All the time..... I mean none at all. Because that would be creepy....yes... creepy

Never(feds are listening, can't be honest about this stuff)

I don't. I also don't upload my main story here, mainly because of the haters.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

I don't.

Damn I wish I had haters

99% of my readers are lurkers

Stalk you? STalk You? Why would I stalk you? I would NEVER do such a thing. The very idea that I would be coveting that sweet, sweet, slithering thing you call a soul? NONSENSE! I would certain not have paid anyone to get a sample of your hair to make any sort of item that could serve as a focus of a HEX. You are uttering gibberish there, my friend.

Nobody would believe you anyways.

You don't want haters.

I have a reader who always, never failing to chapter comment within 72 hours of update, even if its just an emoji (my source of moodbooster). Now, they never did that anymore. When I looked over their profile, it was disabled/deleted. I still wonder how are they doing these days.

Same. We can hope there okay and doing fine
Hmm i just check comments so idk. Once in a while just check if anyone is reading in the stats. I have silent readers. Im glad atleast someone reads . Thats enough for me tbh. Stalking maybe is a bad traits in the long run. Might become an obsession with stats but thats my weird take. ? Just be glad you have readers. Weather their silent or not.

Trust me, you wouldn't want them unreasonably hating on your work.

 

[LunaSoltaer]

Way too damned much.

It... well, if people commented Id have more of an idea that way, but the vast majority of pageviews on my book are my own so I cant use that.

I do get hearts though <3
