Hey
It's me again
But no banned talk this time
I've been writing my own novel for a while now
And I was curious what makes a work
Popular in here to the point of going into the trending tab

Like is it randomly picked from the most popular or are there certain metrics that determine that

Btw my novel name is
I Transmigrated Into A Dating Sim But The Hidden Route Is A Death Game

If your curious

Sex. I'm convinced that you could write the next Lord of the Rings, and it still wouldn't get a twentieth as many views as a fanfiction about Naruto exploring his stretchy toe-sucking fetish with Luffy written by someone who flunked out of kindergarten.

Learning that the fourm has a search feature would have helped. Then you would have learned to answer without adding to the plethora of identical threads every month.

Answer: There is a method but nobody knows what it is. Tony won't tell anyone so people don't abuse it.

Write what readers want. On this site, the ultimate wish fulfilment crowd pleaser is Harem, judging by the first page of the monthly popular novels.

Writing outside that meta? You need either a catchy plot or great characters. The road is harder, but it’s not impossible.

It's easy.

There's a dude named Tony. Email him and tell him "No one's reading my trash so put me on the Trending Tab so losers will read it."

And Tony will put you on the Trending tab.

I've also heard rumors and whispers that one of the fastest ways is to join one of the forum's sinful cults.
But I've also heard rumors whispered that you can't just ask to join them. They must find you. And then you must prove yourself worthy of bearing the name of their sin. This is normally (supposedly) done by making an offering of your immortal soul, and that of a thousand innocents you've collected by luring them into indulging in that sin's debauchery, all for the glory of the devil that sits at the pinnacle of their sinful worship.

But hey, these are just rumors. It could just be a matter of luck, or some hidden algorithmic system. What do I know. I'm just a local author.

So my story got to #29 on the trending list the other day! - lots of new views and readers out of nowhere. It’s been 2 weeks since I posted a chapter. Plus, no sex! So don’t know what’s been going on!

Harem won't really make it assuming you didn't filter the genres you didn't like. Mostly I've seen the rise of LitRPG, futanari protagonist and... I don't know what else.

EDIT: oh right, fanfictions

Check top ten, weekly schedule they have, and the kind of plot/genres/tags. That should make it easier for you!

OK, so maybe I’m the odd one here, but… why is having a few readers a bad thing?

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to have millions of people reading what I have written and say: “You’re the greatest writer.” I would love to make a lot of money from what I do. But then again, why is it that when I have a new reader who wants to read my story, I get really excited about it?
To me, as much as I would love for many people to enjoy my story, even if a few stick around for your hard work, the fact that they take the time to read and admire what I do is well… special.

I don’t want to be philosophical, but a great artist doesn’t just paint ‘The Starry Night’ overnight. A writer doesn’t just create ‘Macbeth’ in a few years of using ink and a feather. I mean, even in modern times, it took Kitborg’s ‘Do not redeem’ years of his hard work to become a modern statement everyone knows and understands.

So, to answer your question, if you want to trend, go the porn route. You want to stay there… well, I will give you that answer if I get there.

Normally I click the main site and then click "Trending"...

Or do you mean how do you get LISTED ON the Trending tab? I did it once, for about fourteen hours, and still have no clue...
