Someone just spammed twenty 5 star reviews with no educational content in one of the popular novels in Webnovel today. This for me, is not good in the community.
Not to point on people but what comes to mind is that this is someones alt, and, there is only one person/group/team that comes to mind. (this is the bad part because people like me tends to speculate) To be honest, the novel is a good one but if the reason for this is to stay on top, i think this move is not a good idea.
Who? I sometime give 5 star to New novel with only 2 chapters if there's quality and a nice introduction of the char and the world, dunno if I'm in this shameless category u speak of
Dani I agree with him too, I would give someone a five-star rating if they had good quality content in the first two chapters even original ones!
But I wish whoever leaves those review spams must at least leave a simple review instead of spamming stars. I've been on the bad side of this website, man. Like seriously.
I would agree with you guys too, but the person spammed 20 times, that's going overboard.
Kritiko Now that guys sucks.
Hey guys! I just published my own story and I need some of your thoughts about it. Here's the link:

Thanks!
It's not just 5 stars that these groups or person is doing. Some have been giving 1 star just because they don't like the author (personal grudge). I wish the site could track these people down and stop them from posting 1.)swear words 2.) Posting without giving an actual review if it's their second time posting.
Scarlettbunny Yeah, an appropriate action should be given with that issue too. Well, i for one was guilty with that, AHAHAHA. i think i did it only once. My reason, is that the synopsis is misleading, the novel is overrated, and i hate the genre, i think i should be punished too, BOhoohooo
TawnyWrites Yeah, and i think things like these had been going on and on in the community for some time already. Other than that, the disappearances of translators or the stopping of chapter updates had been happening on some promising novels lately. And there is no action or explanation given so far.
BAJJ Honestly, this is interesting because even at the beginning, readers can expect a dark plot and some action packed scenes in the following chapters. IMO, for readers that read casually, this is a goldmine but..... you know, some people that tends to ask more and mostly rant about some details,(like me, muhahaha) there's just a bit of concern.
Context wise, there is little to know about the world, but about portraying the scene, you did a good job.
Writing quality, hmmm... you can treat this comment as nonsense because you know, you knew yourself better. I can only say " Grammatically, you did justice in your work, and your writing style is good, but not up to par in some of those Godly writers" (peace bro!)
I will be expecting some updates in your work then, Have a nice day!
So this site runs on a starbase system. I think the last time I messed with those was on youtube. For stuff like this, I'd say stars are better since it's a more in-depth rating. But I guess the bad side to it is a lack of a review for the choice since it's a bit more involved than just voting.
kind of interesting seeing it like that. (Sorry if I derailed the convo, I'm new here XD)
DSNate Not really, because the ranking is polled from the amount of Power stones and popularity. But you see, if you try to scroll on the novel list then you see the top 17th has a rating of 3.9, then you scroll down, and you see top 19th with a 4.7 rating, of course, you would be inclined to check out the 19th place because of the rating. (That's what mostly happen in me and my friend's case) Like i will tell him, "Hey bro check this out, it has a rating of 4.7 this is great, let's read this one" (You get me?)
though I changed it to horror thriller genre
i just put some tags.
