SME's Request

To get more readers for The Oscillation, could you please rate The Oscillation Clean Version on Royal Roads.  It is currently in Trending and to get it on the front page it needs ratings; this will give the serial much more visibility for new readers to find my works.  I will link the Clean Version Main Page below:

Updated How Trending Works

I've thought of several methods to increase readership in my novels, but nothing beats the visibility of trending.  So, let me explain how it works ... ratings, pure ratings.  When a novel has received five 5-star ratings (or 25 total stars; such as twenty-five 1-star ratings) and been released for 30.41 days after that last 25th star, then it will be automatically dumped into the trending serial pool.  At this point, the algorithm will combine the "old ratings" to the "new ratings" and will then compare them to the already pooled serials.

After a month's time, they will begin to drop and fall off the list, but where you stay on that list will be determined by the ratings and ratings alone.  Reviews count with ratings since the review is a rating in itself, but the ratings are what is counted, and the reviews don't affect the weight of the rating.

Ratings can be negative or positive, but as long as there are ratings, it will rise.  This is why you see terribly rated serials in trending; the number of ratings increases the popularity, not the stars of the rating given.  A fifty 1-star rated serial will outweigh a fifteen 5-star serial, even though the fifteen serial has more stars, it has fewer ratings.

It takes about 75 to 120 ratings to reach the front trending page (in general; depending on the current pool).  Now that I have explained it, the only serial that is eligible will be The Oscillation (Clean) Version this next week.  It will reach trending sometime soon and will pull in more readers for A Tail's Misfortune as well; so if you could rate it, then that would be appreciated.  You don't have to follow or favorite, but any rating alone will help it rise.  It may be interesting seeing a low Following novel pop up on the trending as most people will filter over to the main serial in any case.
