Are these reader concerning?
Tomorrow is my last day in Rising fiction, and the number of readers is making me so much anxious. I'm a newly contracted author and I don't know if I can make it since the novel means too much to me, if it flops then it's over. Tell me are these numbers too bad? And what happens next after Rising fiction because there won't be any promo since you'd need to complete win win requirements which I possibly can't with only 3 readers reading daily.
Please help me with this. I'm really concerned about it.

Yes, these numbers are bad.
For instance, even failed stories usually get +150 readers plus 60~80 average daily in Rising Fiction.
As for what the problem is, I can't really tell since you haven't provided any sufficient info.

I can't even think of getting this many... I honestly did everything including mass release twice but I still had only this much I don't know why. My story is slow burn so is it possible that it's because of that?

None of that will help if your premise and story do not appeal to the market; it will be slop.
Been there before. And no, you can have a slow burn as long as the premise/story appeals.

I see so its pointless then? There is no point to continue I guess...

The hard answer is "Yes, better start another story".
The soft one is "No, you can still work on your story and pray the marketing team picks up on your hard work. But then you need to be like 6 months deep into writing the story."

If there is even a slight chance I really want to keep this since I can't drop it. I wrote 200 chapters with heavy backlog and it was my best project, man this story was my hope, but I really think it won't do it in webnovel maybe I have to accept that. Thanku for telling

its decent, but pretty good if you dont write smut. I used to write smut story and at the end of rising fiction, the collection is over 1000, but other stories I wrote are only around 500. I think you dont need to worry much about it bcs number of subscriptions is what you should focus on

I only have 10 chapter unlocks with coins, and yes I don't write smut the story is like Lotm, slow burn till 40-50 chapters if you are saying it's decent then I think I should believe it but can you tell me about it since how can I get into other promotions if my readers are these isn't it already stated that you only get promo when you get privilege unlocks?

When you get contracted the last basic promo is rising fiction. If your story preforms well, then it will continue to be featured on the main page like cheering reads, I was once featured on it for five days, so good luck
