１億PV＆９百万UN突破記念
### Celebrating 100 Million PV & 9 Million UN
Yay!! Celebrating surpassing 100 million PV and 9 million UN!!
I’ll have Eris and Ratz explain my lack of motivation through their conversation.
Thank you, everyone!!

**Celebrating 100 Million PV & 9 Million UN**
"Yes, yes! Since this is a special commemorative chapter, there's no 'side' story this time."
"Indeed. And so, since we are dealing with numbers, I, Eris, and Ratz will be acting as your hosts."
"Still, before we knew it, we hit 100 million PV and 9 million UN."
"That’s right. You could say it took a long time to get here, but apparently, the author himself never imagined it would reach such heights."
"Well, the author barely does any promotion himself. He doesn't even use LINE or Twitter."
"The only promotion he does is within this novel and his activity reports, which is quite mysterious."
"Well, let's leave the mysteries aside and provide a brief explanation."
"Agreed. First, let's simplify what PV and UN mean."
* **PV** stands for "Page View," indicating how many times a specific webpage has been opened or viewed. (Includes repeat views.)
* **UN** stands for "Unique," indicating how many individual people have opened or viewed a specific webpage. One count per browser. (Does not include repeats.)
"Hmm? That explanation is a bit hard to understand."
"You're right. PV counts every time you read a chapter of *Winning Dungeon* on the same computer or smartphone, but for UN, even if you read multiple chapters on the same device, it only counts as one person."
"Yeah, that’s still a bit tricky. Let’s see... how about comparing it to a shop? PV is the number of items sold, and UN is the number of customers."
"Ah, that’s much easier to grasp. The number of items sold is how much one person bought in the shop, and the number of customers is how many people actually visited. Something like that."
"It’s rare for the same person to enter and leave a shop multiple times in one day, after all."
"So, just how impressive is this 100 million PV and 9 million UN?"
"Ah, it’s just a commemorative number. It’s a figure that can be inflated however one likes. Even here on *Narou*, it seems there are cases where people artificially inflate access numbers and get banned."
"But, we aren't doing anything like that here, right?"
"Of course not. If the author here had time for that, he’d rather be playing games, sleeping, or writing."
"Putting 'writing' last feels a bit questionable, but if that’s the case, isn't it impressive?"
"Well, I suppose. *Narou*'s popularity ranking is currently around 117th place or so."
"It’s still 117th?"
"Ah, *Narou*'s rankings aren't based on access numbers, but on the number of favorites and evaluation points."
"I see."
"Well, the ranking point system is irrelevant for now. In terms of pure access numbers, I doubt there are even 50 works that can rival *Winning Dungeon*."
"That’s nearly half the number."
"It’s not a competition, though. Just because something is popular on *Narou* doesn't mean it’s popular elsewhere."
"In that sense, it’s just a commemorative number."
"Yes. Arguing about whether it’s amazing or inferior only serves as fuel for conflict. Now, let’s look at the specific numbers."
"That might be fun. Let’s see, *Winning Dungeon* started on March 29, 2014."
"Yes, that’s about two years and five months ago. Roughly 880 days."
"In that case..."
* **Winning Dungeon Publication Period:** March 29, 2014, to August 1, 2016 (approx. 880 days)
* **Daily PV:** 100,000,000 ÷ 880 = 113,636
* **Daily UN:** 9,000,000 ÷ 880 = 10,227
"That means about 10,000 people are reading it every day."
"And it feels like each person is peeking at about 10 pages."
"This is all thanks to the readers. I am truly grateful."
"Indeed. We look forward to your continued support."
"Now, lastly, I have a comment from the author to share."
"Let’s see..."

**From the author of *Winning Dungeon*, Yukidaruma:**
Thanks to everyone, I am deeply grateful to have recorded such an incredible figure of 100 million PV and 9 million UN.
I will continue to write at my own pace, so I hope you will stick with me until you get tired of it.
As Ratz and Eris explained, access numbers and evaluation points are not absolute measures of quality.
So, don't worry about not being popular or not being read—just start writing!!
Nothing begins unless you do it. Skill level doesn't matter. I mean, you can see for yourself how many typos and omissions I have.
It’s just a hobby anyway, so why not take the plunge and write?
As for groundless insults—like people saying it’s a cliché, it’s boring, the harem is gross, or that a character's way of thinking makes no sense—just ignore them.
To those people, you can just say: "I'm writing this as a hobby for my own satisfaction, so leave me alone, you idiot."
You could even organize your settings in an activity report.
Maybe someone will read your settings and help you write.
And then, let me read it.
Well then, next time... let's aim for over 1 billion PV. (Though I'm sure that won't happen.)
*Also posted in the activity report.*
*...Though I doubt many people look at the activity reports.*
