It's indeed true but there are some ORIGINAL that are good... but the fanfic are too many....even the translation novel cannot compete with those fanfic.

I recommend those novel to you: ORIGINAL.
Endless Universes - Young Master Path - The 1368th: if you like some comedic
Necromancer System: The MC is the villain.... if you are not 18+ year old don't read.

Translate novel:
Library of Heaven's Path: the best shameless master teacher....
Release that witch: if you like a world building.
Crazy detective: like the title say.

    As an author, I hate those damn fanfictions! They prevent me from pushing past the 80s for my ranking... On the other hand, maybe they are good? I have personally never read one.

    I think Original needs divided into three categories.
    1. Original.
    2. Fanfic.
    3. Erotica.
    They're three very different categories and readers have different expectations for those three things. All three have their own pros and cons, but it seems odd to group them all together under Original.

      yu_ba_bu_neng amen brother, the naruto fanfics are like shadow clones, they just keep popping up out of nowhere in large numbers. Though there are one or two good ones... but still, too many crappy ones

        Correction;
        Original - Fanfic

        Erotica isn't a separate category, as it is original work.

        ...........

        yu_ba_bu_neng What do you consider 'real literature'?

        People can do their own thing;
        If one wants to make a fanfic, they can. If not, well they don't have to.

        And no, the system you want is very, very, very unlikely to be implemented, for a variety of reasons I don't care to list.
        ...

        Writing is harder than it seems...
        Don't expect to always find 'amazing' novels that interest you.

              Fair enough. I still sort of think it belongs in its own category though. Or perhaps an Adult category. When I say erotica I'm referring to stories only about sex. Not stories that have it on the side.

                Misguided_Rooster
                In American culture violence, murder, and massacre are PG-13. Sex and using the F-word more than once are rated R. Our clearly superior moral system demands erotica be a separate genre! Just kidding, lol.
                You're right, this isn't a kids site. However, I imagine most readers are between age 13 and 25. I have no data to back that up though. Just my personal guess.
                I think fanfic and original should definitely be separated. I'm glad Webnovel confirmed they're doing that. Erotica is debatable and I can see both sides of the argument. I'm fine with either way it goes.

                    Misguided_Rooster so, in other words, erotica is not something should restricted for them right?
                    Why should limit for 18 while they already experience that on 12?
                    Although yes, for certain erotica which involves rape or weird fetish still unsuitable for them 😐

                        I don't know.. Something about mental issues? I don't really pay attention to that.
                        Although, I've read somewhere that watching 'erotic' things is healthy... didn't really care to read on(Or did I? c;)

                        Also, not everyone has sex young.

                            Misguided_Rooster let's say that another ambiguity we always see in this world 😂😂😂
                            Like people who say let make this world a peaceful one but often quarrel with the neighbors

                                WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Are you really going to shun FanFics because a few people complain? That sounds like a terrible idea, the original poster obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. If he's not looking for original novels he can switch the search to translated only, if he's looking at original section by popular fanfics are near the top for a reason.

                                Don't alienate a big part of your audience for the few whiners in a forum when tens of thousands of people enjoy them. Or is it because you can't make money from fanfics you don't care about them?

                                    AuHNG I have smut in mine and I say Parents Strongly Cautioned because I feel sex is ok to read about for a young child. It is a part of life, but parents need to be responsible and talk about it with their children. I do also state why Parents are Strongly Cautioned. I don't want them thinking it is just language.

                                        Myumara why not see from different view?
                                        Isn't this a recognition that fanfic is great enough to have it's own place?
                                        This also will separate those who dislike fanfic and those who love it.
                                        Aren't you experienced bad comments or reviews from reader, if there's still bad comments appear, you can just say ,'dude, you read in the wrong section'
                                        😁😁
