Do Non-human readers vote less often on stories?

I posted Sammi Elf Savors a Seductive Sweet in Non-human and I've had nearly 1000 reads with 4 votes. Like, on average I get ~0.9 votes per 100, while that is ~0.4 votes per 100.

I assume that, because lots of people are checking it out, it's not unlikeable, but votes and comments are how I know if I wrote a story well.

Should I enact an edit and request to have it moved into SciFi Fantasy and do that going forward, or am I being a worry wart?

My two primary categories are E&V and SF&F, with NonHuman a close third. However, I don't have elf stories in NonHuman, but, well, harder to characterize creatures. Mainly, um, aliens. Outer space type aliens, more or less. It's close which of mine go into NonHuman and which into SF&F, it depends on the focus character(s). If it's an 'alien,' NonHuman. If not, SF&F. And those stories don't really fit the "F" part of SF&F.

That said, for me, SF&F and NonHuman are tied, on a views per vote basis averaging across my stories. And both of them receive more votes per view on average than my E&V stories. Although that's somewhat due to a couple of oddities in E&V that do very well in ratings, but simply don't get many votes 🤷‍♂️.

So I have a few stories close to yours, and a couple that are way beyond it (one, in Group, is over 2000 views per vote, although its rating is decent, over 4 but not quite 4.5.

As to the story, it's long, that'll reduce the read-throughs, which are required for votes. But another factor, it's a Christmas story, using Christmas myths. That'll possibly slow the read=throughs for many folks now that we're well past Christmas. I haven't time to read fully, but it seems validly NonHuman to me, but I guess it'd also fit in "F".
