This is by design. Since so many authors have been ignoring requirements to not use text formatting other than Bold and Italic, the ability to do so has been removed. The formatting causes a lot of problems with our Reader Text Filters: And then we have to field support requests on stories where this feature is broken. Details on what is allowed is here:

Lots of factors play into it. but Stories almost always have that pattern. Especially stories posted over a length of time. (Say once a month). Some people will reread all posted chapters before reading the new chapter. Or the author may have posted the first chapter on a slow day on site, so got a lot more clicks than usual. Views are only an indicator. Reactions, recommendations, and reviews are more reliable indicator of how people are enjoying a story. @ReaderPaul, pretty much yes.

This is now patched.

I was having a bit of 1980's nostalgia before bed last night and asked for "Harry Potter as a Garbage Pail Kid" Well, that was odd as clearly the AI was not taught about Garbage Pail Kids and really created some freaky stuff. The caution sign of a boy with a wand on the upper left was nice touch though... So... Garbage Pail Kids were the boy focused collector card response to the girl focused Cabbage Patch Dolls... so... I figured, I should check those to see if the AI knew them... and well... Yup... I'm a bit freaked out...

Let's see... Severus Snape as a Chucky-style Doll. It's not bad, actually. I think I like the upper left best of the bunch.

This particular episode of Star Trek from 1969 really strikes a cord. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_Battlefield

Yes. One reason I'm promoting different genres in the genre deep dive. Try new things... writers and readers both.

This? Nope. Number of chapters in time period. This? No... that would be number of Recommendations in selected timeframe

Reactions. Each person can only do one and it must be a person. Reviews for complete stories. Same thing. Recommendations. Same real people, only once.

Story views are clicks on the Story page( Table of Contents) + chapter views. Chapter views are clicks on chapter only. If you have a very high story view, but low chapter views, that usually means your story blurb did not sell. Enough to get someone to view the description, but not enough to get them to read.
