Light novel writing tips and tricks

(Step 2) Choosing the title

So you might be asking: Ene? I want to write a story and I want to get views quick!

Well, before I go further with that question, it really depends on what genre you write. Fanfiction from what I seen in most cases to gain views pretty quick, but that's a whole clique of it's own. But if we are just focusing on OG stories, Romance and teen fiction does seem to get views pretty quick as well. But if you are aiming for Fantasy of Sci-Fi, I will let you in on a personal secret here:

I been reincarnated as supercute AI to annoy my master

I been reincarnated as a super villian selling overpriced coffee 

I been reincarnated into a bus driver, driving the same truck that killed me

The answer should be pretty obvious, all 3 books had the title "I been reincarnated xxx" 

Yeah, even though the saying goes: "don't judge a book by the cover." but in reality, people do judge books by their cover, and in this case title.

I been reincarnated seems to me to be the latest trend in fantasy, more then a quarter of the top 100 in fantasy are I been reincarnated themed books. So if you are aiming for higher ranks and more views and followers, choosing a title with "I been reincarnated" will definitely give you an advantage over the other books, as the search engine prioritises the most popular search phrases over others.  

But ofc, the trend changes, as the trend 2 or 3 years ago, was any book with "online" added to the other end. Hard to say when this trend will end, but in the mean time, this strategy can have a great effect of increasing views, follows, and ranking. 

Not hating on those, I am sure they earned their place, heck I should write one as well :3
