Statistics and more

If you finish the novel, then the collection becomes smaller. I wonder what about the views?

While I keep statistics for 1 month and 20 days, I probably need to at least keep statistics for 3 months. In order to identify any trends, to determine the dynamics. But these are statistics with updates. And then you need to keep statistics for novels that are not updated. Probably the number of views will be less, but they will be, but the collections will be reduced, maybe even go to zero.

Interestingly, when you write about the Cold War, some of the subscribers leave. Apparently this is due to the fact that the Cold War is perceived differently. On the one hand of this war and the other. Naturally, ideology also affects readers.

I can not judge the Western perception of the Cold War, because I lived on the other side, namely in the east. I happened to live in the west, but we did not talk about the Cold War. So I don't know what they really think, but I can assume. They are also victims - ideologies.

So, mentioning these topics, you can lose about 5-6 subscribers.

Now, subscribers, this is a seasonal phenomenon associated with points for reading farm chapters. So, while the assessment of the number of subscribers is not entirely objective.

Then recently I read on the forum a cry of the soul, the removal of bad reviews. Well, on the other hand, one cannot count on objectivity in the real world. If you as an author will be objective, behave like a gentleman, observe the unwritten rules of sporting events. Then with a high degree of probability, you will lose. Since everyone else will not follow these rules, which means they will have a better position. This is not an entirely fair competition. But in the world there is not only black, or only white, there is gray. This is just the gray one that wins. Since it is not very bad, but also not very good. It can ignore the rules of the game, and thereby create its own rules and have conditional cheat codes. Such win!

Therefore, it is not a fact if you have been given a bad review that this is an honest review, especially if this review is repeated over and over 3-8-9-40 times. Maybe it's bullying, maybe trolling or just not fair competition.

In general, constructive criticism only improves your text block, even if you were given 1 or 2 stars. Provided that this criticism is not transferred to the author. For this is already a violation of network ethics.
