I look at my story, The Mixer Chronicles, and I see that only 5 people liked it, that's only 4% of viewers. Now I know that a lot of those views only looked at the first chapter and left, but still, I think I've had more favorites on this story than likes.
The thing that gets me is that a lot of the viewers have to be looking at more than just chapter one, otherwise the total views wouldn't be in the seven-hundreds, so what's up?
On a side note, what does it take to get featured? Anyone?
I feel bad for you. I really do. Honestly, all that effort with little-to-no ratings. Going to help you out and tell me followers about your story.
Also, to get featured:
Minimum of 4K words typed
A lot of favourites (50 in an hour is good, from my experiments)
A decent like/dislike ratio (3:1 is the lowest I've seen)
Quite a few viewings (Like, 25)
To achieve this, spam your fiction into groups. Helps a lot.
976221 Aw thanks, I really did put a lot of effort into it, 138,113 and counting and all in a month and a half.(As I'm switching between writing the next chapter and Fimfiction)

Well, here: Shameless Author Promotion!
That should cheer you up. I'll also add your story to a bunch of groups. That way, people will see it.
Being featured is scary.
Sorry about the late comment but I've learned that it better to have a small circle of friends rather than be featured on the home page.
But as the old saying goes "Aim for the stars; if you don't reach there at least you landed on the moon"
