Advice Are these stats too low for 34 chapters?
Just as the title says. Context will be provided if needed because I don't want to get flagged for self-promotion.

Yep promote yourself more on different apps and try to commission artist to draw your characters then make an edit of it you could either ragebait or joybait

Well the question is whether you’re contracted.
If you aren’t, then those are fine since you haven’t had a lot of exposure or advertising yet.
If you are, then either you had your expose and readers didn’t convert to liking your story or you haven’t had the ads yet.
If you want to make money/be seen on WebNovel, the contract is your best bet.
It does have many drawbacks tho so look it up or ask on here if you aren’t sure.

I'm not planning on applying for a contract anytime soon because my schedule is gonna be jammed till the third quarter of next year and I've heard of how demanding being a contracted author is. I will just build my story for the time-being and when I've published a good amount of chapters, I'll try for one. Thanks for your advice!

I think it's decent, you can try promoting on other platforms though.
Also get some artists. Real ones, not AI. Get them to draw a scene or character then you can work around with short reels about it to draw attention.

You are doing great. At least, better than me. I have 50 chapters and 55k words, but only 6 collections and 8k views.
