The specific indicators of a novel's popularity vary by platform and subject matter, but in general, the following are some indicators that may be used to evaluate the popularity of a novel: 1. Hits: The number of times a novel is clicked on by users on the website is one of the important indicators to measure the popularity of a novel. 2. Number of recommendations: The recommendation system will recommend the book to other users based on the content, style, plot, and other factors. 3. Number of Favorites: The number of times a user sets a novel as a "Favorite" reflects the user's interest in the book. 4. Number of comments: The number of comments left by users can reflect the readers 'opinions and comments on the novel. For a 10,000-word novel to achieve popularity, the above indicators needed to be taken into account. The calculation methods and standards of these indicators may vary on different platforms. Therefore, the exact value might vary according to the platform. However, if the novel could get a certain number of clicks, recommendations, and favorites after being published for a few days, it would have attracted a certain amount of attention and popularity in the online novel.
