Understanding Benchmarks (Compare Against Genre Averages)

Wondering if your stats are “good” or “bad”? Benchmarks help answer that.

Steps:

1. Go to Insights → Benchmarks for any story.

2. See average Completion and Retention rates for your genre.

3. Compare your story’s performance side by side.

4. Use benchmarks as a guide for improvement, not as strict rules.

Context helps. A 40% completion rate might be below average in romance but above average in epic fantasy.
