Ok so I have realized that I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with the "read count". So many people seem to either take the time to read or just to click on your chapter and not leave a review. I mean am I the only person who feels this way. Is there that many shy people out there? Am I just a looney... :o

Oh by the way I hope we haven't had a thread like this lately or at all, I just wanted to know what the rest of you think of the read count. It's cool to see how many people find interest in your story...cause they click it for a reason, but once they read a sentence or two do they keep reading or EXIT!! ??? Sorry I hope I'm making sense it's really late

I don't even look at the read count because those things tend to psych me out sometimes so I just stay away altogether. I do think there's probably a mix though, of people who are just curious and peek at a chapter but then click away and people who do read along with the entire story but are too lazy to leave a review.

MonkeyAbu:
The read count can be frustrating because you see it getting higher, yet you don't see the reviews coming like you would think they would as the read count goes up. I agree with Mare. Some people are too lazy sometimes and just don't care to leave a review. I know sometimes I get that way, but I try to leave a review when I can. It can be a LOVE/HATE relationship when it comes to the read count.

Sakabelle:
I agree.  I like seeing how many people have been interested enough in my story to click the page, but at the same same it's irritating because..GAH! I want a review! lol.

Also, I think it can be misleading, because if one person reads your story 10 times, then obviously your read count is going to be off.

RokofAges75:
I don't even look at the read count.  It counts every time someone clicks on a chapter more than once, refreshes the page, etc., including the times you view it (which I do, to make sure the chapters posted okay), so I don't consider it accurate at all.  But yeah, not everyone who reads your story is going to review; we all know that's true.
