Feedback on Thumbnail + Title

[molten horizon]

I am attempting to improve the title and thumbnail to help improve the CTR. Right now it's sitting at 4.2% after 24 hours and views are steadily climbing. I just changed it away from it being "Building the Perfect Starter Base in Minecraft Hardcore" to see if that improves it.

Another concern I have is that I don't have an Episode 1/Part 1 in the title, is that bad for search or the recommendation algorithm? I plan to go back later and add numbering to the thumbnails when there are multiple episodes.

Here is the video if someone is interested, most of the comments I have been getting are people commenting on the viewcount.

Perhaps you want show "hardcore" in your thumbnail.
Something that align that hardcore, like building a house in middle of lava. Something people will like "I want to know more"

You don't really need to add number, just add them into playlist. Adding part 1 or 2 might make people part who started part 2 entirely stop watch because I missed out part 1.

@molten horizon your video was honestly amazing but I didn't like 1 thing abt it and it was you did so much in the span of 17 minutes it's like you skipped so much of what you did and just added some parts in the video doesn't even feel like your playing it feels like speedrun everything is just happening too fast

Other than that everything was good tbh and are you voice overing in the video ? Or where u talking while playing?

Thanks for the feedback! While recording I kind of wanted to do half/half, so there were a lot of points, especially in the later recordings, where I'd barely talk, and even if I do, I didn't want to use it. After having to go through 12 hours of footage, I'm adjusting my strategy off of it to where I plan to only do voiceover for the purposes of storytelling, rather than overexplaining what I am doing. On the notes for the speed I see what you're talking about, I originally expected to it be around 45 minutes but after editing down to something that flowed better it was shorter than I imagined. I'm trying to figure out a balance of making something that isn't too fast paced, but something that isn't too slow.

Id fix up the intro.

Its Kinda bland. Show dont tell like when you say smth like if you die the world gets deleted show a clip of you dieing by some creeper in some test world and show it deleating the world

Id also remove the "why is this need making a hard-core serries...unemployment" it doesn't add and wastes valuable time were the viewer is already 1 click away from closing your vid
