Okay. This is getting stupid. You can't just give a novel 3 star review because you want to send a message to Author, or ask about Novel's future. The Novel has 1, one, uno chapter. Webnovel shoud do something to fix it, or have better track system for reported reviews. The new Novel sent to bottom of the list just because a dude felt like it.
There are lots of readers rating the Novels with one star because they don't like it!
It is not my novel, still makes me mad!
GreedyToad I have an author friend who had a troll author make different accounts and give his novel like 4 1-star ratings. We know it was another author because he then said my friend did it to his novel in the author discord. It was unprovoked, my friend did not do that.
The author I know then reported it to have those reviews that were back to back be removed, but they did nothing. Luckily my friend is doing alright after being featured, but his rating is still terrible because of those 1-star reviews.
It is worst in RR where rating matter and you can review anonymous.
In here you can make your own 5 stars review. Just state to remedy a troll. For 1 star review, you should make 3 5-star reviews. If there is so much spam, even Webnovel staffs would care.
In RR you just dropped 0.5 rating on competitor or annoying author. Dropping them from ranking.
BabyTanuki I would normally report 1 star reviews in my Novel and get over with it, but I randomly saw this Novel rated with 3 stars, twice for no reason at all, made me very angry. There should be something can prevent this bullshit.
MasterRabbink Thank whoever you believe there is not Anonymous rating in this site. Gah! It is already frustrating.
GreedyToad No there is not. You can see each who write each review.
However there is moderator in this site. There is even a translator who review his novel around 50+ times. It is allowed. Since it is not deleted. Webnovel wants content and does not care as long as there is content.
MasterRabbink Well I am okay with honest review with low stars, I am not saying people shouldn't give low starts to Novels, but this kind of bullshit reviews should be prevented. Or deleted.
GreedyToad Can't agree more! Sorry wrong word. "No moderation for review." It's all free. Freedom of Speech. It is strange coming from a China company, but WN is free.
MasterRabbink yes no moderation for review.
They even can write f*ck without make the review deleted for such abusive words.
MasterRabbink Yeah but in RR ratings count for less than reviews. Plus, RR staff will regulate reviews and delete ones that go against the rules. Here, they seem to only delete reviews that are low star. 1 Star review that’s well thought out gets deleted, nonsense 5 star review stays
Velixar Nevertheless you can rate 0.5 stars and killed your competitors in RR. Some of good novel destroyed by 0.5 rating there, check the forum to hear authors complain about it. Some asked... Is the rating true? From 5 you get 0.5. Why? Is that bad? While 5 and 1 is wrong for most novels but anonymous rating used by spammer to kill. Author wished for feedback in RR before they went to Amazon.
Meanwhile Rating is useless here. Readers vote with power stones for ranking. It made a bad impression tho.
Velixar Even for 1 star reviews to be deleted, one has to wait at least a month, or send messages constanly.
