How many chapter 1 views do you have per follower?
Take the number of views on your first chapter, divide by total number of followers for that story. If you have more than one story, most recent or average, whichever you think is most representative. (If you manage to be exactly on the boundary, then dealer's choice which you pick.)
A lot of people come here to try and figure out if their fiction is behaving particularly well or badly. I know I did. Unfortunately, the answers often boil down to "no way to tell". How much marketing? Is it on meta? How much, how frequent, for how long? Which is true, but not helpful.
This isn't a perfect metric, for many reasons including:
- bots and random chance disproportionately affect low-view stories
- older stories will have higher chap 1 views than newer with exactly the same number of genuine readers
But... It's something?
What number would you estimate is a 'good' score? Enough to get a story onto RS? And 'very good', enough to ultimately get into S ranking?
