How the stats work

[Humanistheart]

Sorry if this is covered in a FOQ or somewhere I should know about, but I've noticed something odd about the recent reader vs status stats. I'll sometimes look at the recent reader list. Like a moment ago I saw one that said 16/22. Seamingly implying this person had read 16 of the 22 chapters in my book. But when I checked their reading list, the story wasn't on it. That's fine, it's just, this suggests that a person read 16 chapters and didn't add it? How would they even find my story again, because I'm sure they didn't read 16 chapters in one sitting. It seems odd to me. I must be interpreting this wrong, Any explanation?

It's possible they read it one sitting, or that they kept it open in a tab (I've done this with a few, then accidentally closed the tab and had to hunt for the story) but never saved it (perhaps their list is so long they just would lose it there too).
It's also possible they accidentally or intentionally opened and read just that one chapter.

Most of the time I read a couple of chapters to see if it's for me before adding it to my reading list. That or they accidentally clicked on it.

Some browsers by default have their own reading lists, it's also possible you were put into a different one than the default one that shows up first in their profile.

Also, some people are too lazy to add things to their reading lists (AKA me) and just search up the story whenever they need their fix (also me)

or they added you to a reading list that’s hidden from the public. It happens

Oh I didn’t know that was an option!
