InfernalRhage Yeah. I have an author friend who had a few of those troll reviews on his novel. He had a pretty good rating before the whole issue happened. I wanna say 4.7? Anyway, now it is a 4.2 and webnovel isn't doing anything about it. I feel bad for him because we are in the same category and are often times around the same ranking.
The whole drama caused him to decide to wrap up his novel soon (2-3 months).
BabyTanuki It is definitely a shame that this happens unfortunately there is no real way to fix this problem short of the company either hiring a group to review the reviews before they are posted or giving the authors the power to delete reviews that are not done fairly. Neither of these options are really viable sense the company isn't going to spend money they don't have to and the fact that there would be authors who delete every negitive review just to boost their rating.
BabyTanuki i think I know this story
Dropped it halfway tho. It Made me a little dumb 
while yes----the reviews section on this site contain a lot of BS, you cant help it on the internet things like this wont disappear...... but there is still something that can at-least help in this situation at-least for me anyway.
if everyone does this it will make the reviews section a little bit better but im not that charismatic to inspire everyone to do this.
Find a good review that you think gives good criticism and an honest opinion and spam the like button on it.
those are the reviews which i take seriously and reviews with a ton of likes show up first when you scroll down.
though still untrustworthy as people like reviews that give them a lough too even if its irrelevant to the story in question
FujiCigarette That is pretty much what I have been doing on top of making sure to write up an honest review on anything I read weather I enjoy it enough to continue reading it or not.

You see thats the problem, reviews dont mean shit on this site
WN doesnt want any bad reviews so all your reviews have to praising the book even if its trash or they will delete your review
When you have a review system that literally allows anyone to spam reviews you can just see how bad it is
And mosr reviews are crap and talk nothing about the novel that will make the person reading intrested in the novel

Actually i agree that bad reviews with attitude can be allowed , but stupid rewiew like "this sucks" plus one star really annoying
totorodeng123 Pretty much even professional authors like Stephen King get bad reviews. That is just part of being an author, I'm just saying if you are gonna give a novel one star tell me why. I mean is the writing quality bad or is the the story line a mess don't just be all, "it sucks! one star." I also feel giving a well written novel one star simple because you may not of liked it is unfair to the author who put their time and effort into writing a quality novel for others to enjoy.
InfernalRhage totally agree
BabyTanuki Just realized I hadn't read your novel so I will be starting it here in a few and doing a review after getting a good feel for the novel. As a heads up I tend to point out any errors in the comments, as well as any sentences that just don't feel right along with suggestions for those sentences to help them flow better. It's not meant as an insult or dis just my way of trying to help out you can tell me to shut up at any point if it bothers you.
InfernalRhage that's fine. I actually have a discord for that sort of thing if you want to join it. Keep in mind that the first 70-80 chapters I was actually going to go the route of a romance novel, then decided I preferred adventure/fantasy (with romance).
