4 days ago, I posted about facing a drought of followers despite the shoutouts. While I did manage to gain a few followers in the last couple of days, the lack of followers is concerning. I have been releasing a chapter every day, and there have been a couple of shoutouts this week. But the only followers I am getting are from the ads.

Which is very strange! Up until 179/180, my followers were increasing consistently. I was so close to hitting the main RS. But then I hit a wall. I had to post on associated subreddits and Discord to hit 200. Then I again went a few more days without followers, got knocked out of the Action and Progression genre lists.

I asked on this subreddit and followed their advice. managed to get my ratings from 14 to 20. I saw a small growth in followers, but I kept tumbling down.

I managed to get only 2 more for the past 2 days (a little less than that). I even went back and checked if my shoutout code link was working properly.

I simply don't understand what changed. I am also kinda getting exhausted with the continuous releases, all in hopes of regaining the followers.

Any kind of help will be welcomed.
