Userscript/Filter for Kudos/Chapter Ratio

[gossymer]

Was wondering if there's a way to filter fics so we see only fics with at least X number of kudos for every chapter.

So if X=100 then

A fic with 5 chapters and 520 kudos will show but a fic with 3 chapters and 120 kudos won't.

Just went through 100+ pages of fic and it was exhausting - it would make getting into new fandoms with boatloads of fic easier.

I don't know about AO3 filters (probably impossible), but it could be done with a script. Only I'm not sure if that's a very useful metric? You can only leave kudos once on a fic, no matter how many chapters it has (unless you leave them anonymously, I guess). Do you think a one-chapter fic with 100 kudos is better than a two-chapter fic with 100 kudos?

(Sorry if it sounds harsh, I'm just wondering if you noticed a trend!)

Not specifically what you are asking for, but. You can do search filter for date updated, and word counts sorted by kudos. So I'll sometimes start with more popular by kudos short stories, them switch to a particular pairing etc.

Another option is to find a story you like, then see who bookmarked it, and if they bookmarked other stories in the fandom.
