So, I found this site through Novel Updates initially, their site primarily deals in the translation of foreign language web novels. However, for western written web novels like those on this site there is a small section that seems to promote Scribble Hub's latest 3 releases. However, it does not promote all of them that come out.
I am bringing this up because I am trying to figure out the mechanism that determines whether or not a story is promoted on Novel Updates. I just compared my story, Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess, to the most recent 3 that ARE on Novel Updated. I had assumed at the time it was a matter of it not promoting stories that haven't hit a certain rank in Scribble Hub's ranking mechanics, but it turns out my story actually outranks all three of them in every single category except that it doesn't have #1 rank in any super niche and rarely used categories. Of those categories my story outranks the 3 posted before it today, this includes the weekly rankings.
I'm just trying to understand the mechanics here so I can get more exposure for my story. I'm already trying to work hard to keep it visible while keeping up the level of writing that got it that high ranked in the first place, but it seems like I'm locked out of one of the tools for that and would like to know how that works.
