How’s My Book Doing?

This tool is still running in a test environment. Please be mindful 🙂
It munches up a lot of resources of my server instance
(and it’s not the most powerful instance, you know)
So, please, don’t use it every hour!
Also, I had to remove the 100-book comparison option for now

If you’d like to support me and help me bring more fun and anxiety-driven RR tools to you, here’s my Patreon:

(just choose whatever tier you like)

As a bonus for being a patron, I’ll give you access to a dedicated service that isn’t that overworked
(and access to the 100-book comparison)

Performance Tiers

Your book’s performance is ranked into tiers based on how it compares to similar books on Royal Road:

💎 Diamond Tier (top in that metric)

Exceptional performance – Your book is literally the best performer in this category. This indicates outstanding reader engagement and market success.

🟨Gold Tier (Top 20%)

Excellent performance – Your book significantly outperforms most similar stories. You’re doing something very right!

⚪Silver Tier (Top 50%)

Good performance – Your book performs better than average. There’s room for growth, but you’re on the right track.

🟫Bronze Tier (Top 75%)

Below average performance – Your book has potential but may need improvements in story, marketing, shoutout swaps, or reader engagement.

⚫Iron Tier (Bottom 25%)

May need improvement – Consider focusing on story quality, cover design, description, or posting schedule to boost performance. Also, shoutout swaps may help if you think everything else is solid.

So, if you are looking for a good crowd of people to help you improve the story and find some shoutout swaps, I recommend you joining either RR Writer’s Guild or Immersive Ink on Discord 🙂

Key Metrics Explained

Followers – Readers who get notifications for new chapters. This shows reader loyalty and engagement.

Total Views – All page views across your story. Higher views indicate better discoverability (or, you know, just a lot of chapters and years of posting).

Rating – Average star rating (0-5 stars). This reflects story quality and reader satisfaction. Or whether you are a target of rating bombers (you may want to contact the mods).

Followers per Page – Efficiency metric showing how well you retain readers relative to story length. Higher is better.

The stats may differ between the checks because they rely on the RR search engine and it sometimes sorts books differently even while the same filters are chosen
