You'll find those loyal readers who always give feedback on any site, including here. Don't forget that the read count goes up every time someone clicks on or refreshes - not necessarily reads - a chapter of your story. I know I always jack mine up a few notches just by checking to make sure my story posted correctly - and if I have to go back and edit it, checking again. So if I do go look to see how many people have viewed a chapter so far, I know a few of those are just me. The first chapter of any story is almost always going to have a higher read count than other chapters because of people who click on it to check it out and decide it's not for them.
Also, those of us with our own sites or our stories posted elsewhere shouldn't expect to get as many reviews on AC alone because there are other ways people can read our stuff and give feedback. I know when I first started posting my stuff on AC, I didn't get many reviews at all because the people reading it had already read it on my site and given me feedback there. Now most of them leave me reviews on AC instead because it's so much easier than emailing.
