Strong positive correlation is found between the response variables except for the Kudos-to-hits ratio. Topic novelty is weakly positively correlated with Kudos-to-hits ratio, but negatively correlated with the other response variables. Additionally, the number of chapters, number of words, and average Kudos of an author’s work are moderately positively correlated with success.
