Ratio of Kudos to Hits

I love your tool and I was using it quite a bit until I realized something.

This metric completely breaks down when you hit VERY large fics or fics that are SO GOOD, they have constant rereads. Have you, by chance, accounted for this yet?

While this is a great metric for weeding out Mediocre fics from Terrible fics, its actually weeding out the BEST fics from the Mediocre fics as well.

Sadly I don't think there is a way to account for that, at least not that I know of. It's impossible to tell if the hits are return visits. It's not a perfect metric, alas :(

Actually, you can calculate a poor man's "# of unique users" by simply taking "Hits / Chapters". Each new chapter will generate a new hit from returning users who are reading it on each update.

If anything, it might be worth it, on the larger fics (those with more chapters) that you change the color to signify that this metric will not work with it.
