I don't know about you, but I like digging for not as well known original novels. I occasionally find some novels which interest me with their synopsis, but dun dun dun turns out it was dropped?! Oh the horror and pain!! wipes a tear I just wanted to share my pain of finding out novels I got emotionally and physically (swiping on my mobile device) into not being updated ever again!😱😭 If only there was some sort of tag that shows the novel being dropped or on hiatus. Or an automatic system where a novel doesn't get updated for 2-3 months without notice gets put into inactive or something. Please help, I can only take so much pain and disappointment.🙈🙉🙊

    I hate when that happens. Something that showed whether a novel is on hiatus or dropped would be nice.

    Of course I'm going to shamelessly promote my original novels on this thread though haha!

    I won't be dropping Uniform System and I update it daily so feel free to read it =)

    Steampunk Apocalypse: https://www.webnovel.com/book/11594443706436005/Steampunk-Apocalypse!
    This is a new novel I'm writing for the steampunk writing contest. It's not doing too well though. Think I'm in third place. So I'm not sure if I'll be continuing this one yet or not.

        TheAdventurer honestly I looked at it, and I'm not convinced that everyone would not take some sort of break due to circumstances like college finals or exams or something ya know? Thus, I thought it'd be quite handy if there were tags indicating a novel being inactive for "x" days or on a break🤷‍♀️

            DsNtRecognizeMtTai that's a great way to find novels which aren't likely to drop any time soon, but then I think that by supporting the author/novel early on motivates and encourages the writer to keep the novel going.

                I can confirm that. Early readers can have a heavy impact on a story. I originally only planned on writing 1 or 2 chapters of Uniform System. There were a few people who encouraged me through reviews and/or comments early on which motivated me to keep writing. Now I'm too far in and have become attached to it haha. I don't think I could drop it even if I wanted to. On the other hand, if it had got no reviews, votes, or comments in the earliest stages then I probably wouldn't have continued it back then.

                    Haha, yeah. I wonder if voters/commenters realize how much they mean to the author. A couple days ago my novel got featured on the Daily Updates section. I got tons of new comments and power stones. It felt great haha. I swear it creates a dopamine loop or something. I would repeatedly check just to see if my numbers went up.

                      fluffybootydesu That would really be great. The stupid thing is: We authors can actually put our novels in a hiatus or dropped category but that doesn't show up on webnovel.
                      For now, the only thing a reader can do is having a look at the table of contents on the website. There's the last update mentioned. Unfortunately, that doesn't work in the app

                          Please support the 'impossible'!

                          Try to check this Rabbink's novel. (So far 1 volume, and still kept the daily updating). Gr.... That Edgarry (WN curator) hadn't featured my novel ever in the Trending Originals even after 2 months.
