SweetsTomato If that was the case, Naruto is the best selling book in the world yet only my novel is in top 10. Your logic is flawed.
This site is turning into a trash can...
For the sake of discussion, can we clear about something first?
We talk about teenager now it come to children 
So, which age belong to children, teenager, and adult?
SweetsTomato Yes I feel the conversation was becoming twisted and confusing.
I have to sleep, anyways, bye.

Myumara you write story with naruto as MC. Most people already know who he is, what he can do. He a ninja, can use ksgebunshin, have nine tail fox beast.
I make story with Simon as the MC. Did people know who Simon is? What he can do? What is special about him? Do you know?
They must read first to know who he is, that different with naruto coz people already have an image in their mind who he is
They can directly give you power stone from beginning if they like naruto, different with Simon, they need time before they like it
Myumara your logic also flawed because you only see in ten, you not see in hundred, in two hundred 
SweetsTomato I can tell you haven't read even a little of my novel. Not only is Naruto not even in my story yet, not even a single MAIN character has made an appearance. In the 76 chapters I've written maybe 4-5 even take place in Konoha. Of the 3-4 NAMED characters I used they were such side characters people had to look them up.
You tell me how much content I had to create to get to chapter 76 then. The fact people like my story and not a single Fan-favorite character have even appeared till chapter 72 (Itachi) it insults me when people say I'm just using something else. If that's the case every novel with cultivation copies each other.
SweetsTomato What? What do you mean by that comment?
AuHNG it's not.. I looked up it ;c
Myumara I mean you should count how many fanfic, not just naruto, in top 200 rank
AuHNG
The federal law establishes the age of 12 as the minimum age of consent, while the age at which there are no restrictions for consensual sexual activities is 18 (sex with someone 12-18 is not illegal per se, but can still be open to prosecution under certain circumstances).
SweetsTomato Oh, when your novel is ranked #6 you don't have to scroll that low so I'm not sure. But its definitely less than novels that have nothing to do with Naruto.
Myumara yes, I'm not read yours because I'm not naruto fan, just know naruto.
If you borrow, even only a dime, it's still called borrowing, right?
Even you not write the whole main character, you still use something from naruto story right?
That enough to including your story into naruto fan fiction 
Myumara Like @SweetsTomato said,
SweetsTomato Well, I agree with that coz fanfic build on already established reader, easier getting reader. Compared with original which start from scratch that whole different. So, for fairness, I agree on rank separation
This is the ease of getting new readers... what your comment,
Myumara If that was the case, Naruto is the best selling book in the world yet only my novel is in top 10. Your logic is flawed.
actually references it the other side of the coin, keeping readers. While it is easier to get readers for a fanfic, due to there already being a fan base, it is harder to keep those same readers... now you may ask why? That's simple, if a fanfic does not hold to the fans standards (for many fans, that means holding to the original story), then they will drop the novel faster than one could say 'but'. Whereas, once a reader gets past chapter 5 in an original, it is a lot less likely for them to drop the novel. So does that clarify things for the both of you? @SweetsTomato? @Myumara?
SweetsTomato I can say that every novel that has elves and magic is a copy of Lord of the Rings. Most novels even use the same levels of cultivation with some sort of sword or spear.
It's 2018, nothing is original anymore. Naruto is a different form of literature from LoTR, but I can easily say most Fantasy novels are a LoTR Fanfic too.
Your story has a mech? Gundam fanfic
Cultivation? Every Chinese novel did it first.
I personally wish the sections were broken down like this...
Originals (this section consists of novels that are not directly based on other novels and are not translates)
FanFictions (this section consists of novels that are based on another novel, and do not contradict the original in any way)
Translations (this section consists of novels that are translated from other novels)
I know that the first and third sections already exist
Parodies (this section consists of novels that are commonly called fanfictions, but contradict the original in some way or another (or just completely ignore it))
I also know that this last one will never happen
the list is in the order of my reading preference, but that is just what I read most often... I enjoy most novels I read about equally.;,;.
DeJeL People who like Lord of the rings will like fantasy stories.
People who like star wars/trek will like Scifi novels more.
People who like anime will like fanfics.
I can say every novel is a copy of something else because someone did it first.
Your cultivation novel mentions Nacent soul? Its a copy of desolate era then.
Your novel uses magic? Copy of wizard world.
Myumara nope, I don't use mech or cultivation.satisfied?

Myumara
Wooot??
How is every fantasy a 'fanfic' of LoTR? It's not like LoTR is the father of fantasies.
Also, noo.
Well, maybe the cultivation thing, but everything else, NO!
Myumara to said copy is a harsh word, that like accusing plagiarism.
Inspired maybe, copy? No!
