How the fuck do Views work

So everytime i come to right one of my stupid chapters i always see a number for the Views, gems, ect. But how the fuck do views work?

I'm asking cause I've had 71 viewers for the past 3 days, so theres 2 ways this goes

1. It counts the first time tgey click on the novel, meaning it only count 1 view no matter how many chapters they read.

2. it counts View per chapter. meaning every time someone reads a chapter it counts as a view.

Man idk. I'm just biting candie canes while wondering how in the hell this stupid app works. also yes. I'm on mobile

Sue me.
