Hi Yairy, you right ^_^ and thanks for the loveI don't know...those stats aren't too bad to me. Look at the number of readers you have for the number of views. 19k with 300+ readers. I didn't reach that many until well over that. However, my story is much different and It's not fantasy or anything of the sort.
Sorry to hear you're frustrated but I'm sure the people who are loyal to your story will be upset to hear you go.
I hear you ^_^ and there is truth to that. But nah, I've been doing this long enough (i have novels on, and hell, even videos on amazon). So writing to the market, and writing what I want go hand in hand. But like I said, I have been writing novels for over 5 years now, so I can tell when a story is falling flat with readers. and IN REVERSE of what you said, I am NOT bored with the story and was in the camp of, "This is a great story, how come no one's reading it???" (which forced me step back and seriously ask what was wrong with the story.)I'm not going to assume that you're trolling, and that you're serious. Sad to see an author drop a novel, but if that's how you feel then I suspect you've learnt something. However, I'm going to apologize in advance, because I'm going to be harsh and say that you missed the most important lesson.
Namely, if you write for the attention of others, your work will depend on it. Which is of course what we authors want our work to get. But that attention should be considered an added bonus, not your main goal.
I suspect that you possibly got bored with your story yourself, and seeing the lack of readers merely strengthened that emotion. Which goes against one of the basic rules of writing, that you can find by spending a few seconds on google. If you're bored - even just a little - then your readers certainly will be.
~ thanks for the feedback
