To make our voting results more objective, we have decided to close the review functionality of the novels in【What’s next】 from tomorrow. After the new books are released, the review function will be opened to the public again.
Thank you very much.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL that would be great. Also, what took you so long? XD
Justice has been delivered! HURRAY!
Finally!!!
You should still allow the translator to put up a review. WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
Otherwise, this is a fantastic improvement!
Closing the review section is a good idea. I have a suggestion. Coming soon in the chapters section can be replaced with the first 5 chapters would also make the voting better.
SinisterSmile On the main page of a novel, readers write reviews. For novels that are yet to be released, some readers post spoilers about them or post rude comments to express their dissatisfaction about the novel being on webnovel. To avoid all these, webnovel is closing the review section for novels that are yet to be released .i.e. novels in the “what’s next” section. Once the most voted novel of the week is released, then the review section will be opened again.
Is it still possible to post multible reviews?
If yes, why????????????????????
I agree with the post above. The translators should be the only ones able to post a pre-release review of the work. I've never understood why people who'd never read a word of the work were able to review so early!
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL the only review I found useful are from thestatsguy. I think every translated novel info/about should also has it. That way we could also know the updated raw status for each novel.
Tashady read the raws first then just give 5 stars for the most parts
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL That's a good action. This should be the case in order to stop those nonsense reviews and rating spams.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL FINALLY
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL you should close the comment sections on novels as well until you can put a stop to spoilers being posted. I'm tired of reading through novels and come across a spoiler that ruins the whole novel in one of the top 3 comments because of trolls liking it so much.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL This is the single best thing you have done yet for this site. Wish you had done it way sooner. People review bombing female stories, or just posting spoilers and a bunch of nonsense, was making your reviews feature one of the worst in the industry. Glad to see your looking into improving that.
I miss the review function... most of the synopses for new novels don't give enough information, I really want to know more!!! They're just a few vague sentences, and don't give us much indication as to what the novel's going to be about. The top reviews did a really good job of this, telling us about the popularity of the original novel, basic plot, strengths, etc. (shout out to thestatsguy!) Now I'm so confused what to vote for, and I'm losing my motivation to check out the new novels because there is almost no information on their page.
Pleaaaase consider reinstating this feature, and maybe improve the banning system to get rid of spoilers and hateful comments! Or implement upvotes and downvotes, so that the bad comments and reviews can be hidden (or at least sent to the bottom)?
Btw, I have tried researching about the new novels on my own but it was unsuccessful. I think you have to understand the original language of the novel to find it online, which is why the top reviews were so important!
I know there is a lot crappy reviews, but the good one also, so now its all depends on synopses and cover only ? damn
Wouldn't it be better to put up the 1st chapters for the novels in the voting pool? That way readers will have a better idea of what the novels are like. As others have mentioned, the synopses and covers don't really say much... it isn't so bad this week, but IIRC two or three weeks ago all three covers in the Female Lead section looked like copy-pasta, probably because they were all from the same artist / designer. You could have swapped the covers around and no one would have noticed!
