Hello!
Since I have been asked this question many many times and answering it many many times without putting much thought into it, I decided to really answer the question and putting thought into it. :)
First and foremost, I don't really consider my books as popular (yes they have many reads but I'd rather call it loved since many readers love reading my creation) despite the number of reads, I see my books as being loved by my readers.
Okay so, let's get on to the question! How do my books get popular? Well really, it's not about how good the writing is, how popular the character you're writing about or how long since you started writing the book. Those things come sooner on the list. For me personally, I really had no expectations towards 'Changed Person' to reach a certain amount of reads nor votes. I just kept doing what I love, writing non-stop and updating chapters every 3 days. That's my only focus on this app, of course some of you will probably think that that isn't really an explanation for gaining the reads and votes.
Well, my tip for you is just keep writing without comparing your book's reads and votes to any other author's, don't expect too much because honestly I never even expected to reach 1K reads with 'Changed Person' and when I did, I still kept my feet on the ground and stayed humble. I'm not someone who's head gets big when I reach a certain number of followers nor a certain number of reads and votes. I still talk to my readers, even when I had like 600 reads and was surprised to see them shocked that I follow them back or reply to their comments. (I remember I used to reply to every single comment on 'Changed Person' because I was very thankful that people actually read my book. I still do try reply today when I can.)
I also didn't expect 'Sext' to reach 1K+ reads because theres a lot of great jungkook fics out there and who would want to read mine? I'm very very thankful that people give time to read my work :)
Always remember that, with all your hard work, you'll eventually get there. Maybe not today, next week or next month but one day it will happen and I promise you. So just keep doing what you love and stay humble!
Overall, I guess my work isn't that big of a deal but I am thankful that there are people out there who appreciate it.
Remember to always keep your foot on the ground and stay humble forever and always!
