Through the looking glass

@AdmiralPiet this might be a pesky question, but I try to understand my readers better, what made you choose this story to read. If I remember correctly this One has been buried rather deep on the site. So it would be an actual boon to understand what causes a story to be read.
Thanks

The answer will disappoint you.
I thought I should read and comment a bit more on here, but I am not that fond of reading long texts off a computer screen. Not to mention the time needed.
So I looked for shorter stories.

I navigated to your collection and chose one more or less at random. It was rather short, so I read it.

No disappointment from me here. You made the choice based on your own criteria. As much as I enjoy writing stories, my titles usually entirely suck at getting people intrigued.

Do not read too much into it.
Perhaps it was the title? I can not say for certain why I clicked on that one.

Your titles are fine.
I don't think the title alone has to catch the reader, also the teaser, summary on the books back, or the first chapter have to play a part.
But overly long or witty titles tend to repel more i think. And titles that promise too much, or suggest something that isn't even in the story will disappoint the reader.
