Here's Secunda's journey thus far:
My free to read novel got onto New and Noteworthy the second month from when I began uploading it, however, there was no huge spike in views or subs compared to when I first launched it in February 2019 and announced it on my on-going comics at the time.
But then in its 6th month, it got onto one of the curated lists on the app (was called "fairly fairy tales") and that's when it had a boost.
Then I think in its 10th month it got onto another list on the app, giving it another little boost, and again on the 13th month (which was February of 2020 so there was some featuring of romance titles).
Come its 15th month, that's when the biggest boost as of yet happened. It got onto the front page of the desktop site under "Novels we love curated weekly" and because of the relative prominence on the page layout, the story gained 1,000 subs in that April alone.
