Daoisthentai was browsing some originals in the top 100, got surprised that there are only a few fanfics out there and decided to check em out. it was a TGD fanfic immortals tale in demons and gods...
i got into an argument with the author there long time ago we argued, said some nasty words then made up... even wrote a review on it and also a follow up review, i was glad to see the author improved in writing but it wasnt my cup of tea still... so i browsed some of the reviews liked some reasonable ones and thats when i found that comment in one of the replies...
edit
lol the things i find the comment/review section sometimes sure do get heated up, someone needs to make a novel out of this...
make it a system, where the mc gets exp by being a keyboard warrior...

    Out of the top 20 originals 6 are fan fics, please seperate and for the many reasons I shall revert back to your entire post.

      Or Maybe Just a fan fiction tag, and an option to exclude the said tag from our searches? That would solve a lot.

      ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!! ALIVE I TELL YOU!!! ALIVE!!

      o yeah... been browsing the reviews again...specially the fanfic section reviews with a tonne of replies....

      How about you create your own story & Oh!? And this is fanfic. You write what you want, do you even realise etc.. etc... etc..
      -e****

      so yeah.... this type of reply to a bad review gives me cancer so much that if i knew who that person was in real life id shoot them

      just because someone gave a bad review doesnt give you the right to reply with "why dont you write your own novel"... even the author of the story in question said "im sad you didnt enjoy my story but still thank you for the review".
      i mean what are you? a kid? lol.....
      so yeah, im no writer but if i decided to suddenly post the ones i write i certainly dont want my readers to be this type of reader.... if you like a story, then like it the way you want, dont go fighting every tom dick and harry that comes by with an opinion and reply with the childish shit like "why dont you do it better then sherlock"

      if ya want to read the review its on a DBxnaruto fanfic, the review has 48 replies, dont want to call em out, they know who they are

      edit
      im losing faith in the fanfic community of this site and giving up.... really its like most of the readers here havent heard of fanfics before, some bad/average/good fics gets praised to the high heavens its disgusting to see....some people take some of the FF's here as a high standard when really only a few of them are good....

      comments such as
      "this is the best fanfic ive ever read"... i mean really? out of the millions of fanfic available on the internet this is the best? nah man its even badder than bad
      "you should sell this to this publisher, you write better stories"... wtf are you smoking, i mean the story aint bad, but its still a gary stu/shipping/power fantasy fic, its not on the level of the publisher you are mentioning
      "ignore bad reviews they aint true this story is a masterpiece"... well im gonna ignore your reviews from now on because i certainly know this fic aint a masterpiece, cant even get the grammar right.

      yeah im sick of reading these types of reviews that doesnt really contribute to anything at all and just shows how ignorant some are.. or maybe im wrong and most of those reviewers are teenagers and havent really experienced how big the internet is yet and are seriously amazed... if that was the case... im sorry if you got offended...

      end of rant

        Separate original works from fanfiction.
        If it takes canonical characterisation, universe architecture or world story from another author's hard work. Then its fanfiction and should be separate.

        I dont want to see chrysalis next to a naruto/fairytale F/FIC.

        Lm ao I love fanfics on fanfiction net but i never thought about originals and fanfics mixing on webnovels because I dont read the originals here. Still nice argument not something I care about but sounds about right

        To be honest, I was quite surprised when I discovered fanfics here but since I know multiple sites where I can read some good fanfics since I'm a writer of fanfics as well, I didn't mind the new addition. It only lowered my impression of Webnovel because I was expecting this to be Eastern Fantasy centered/Chinese novel translations only. I didn't know that fanfics in this site got to this chaotic point and although I don't read Originals, I do understand the need to separate said works from fanfiction because fanfics borrow from somebody's intellectual property even more so when there's no significant change in the plot OR the fanfic writer didn't transform the work in a different way.

        The fanfic-originals issue should have been taken into consideration before the staff green-lighted the project and the fact that it exists until now is alarming. Hopefully, they'll just scrape off fanfics or even other uncontracted originals all together because they clearly cannot manage them. On that note, I don't hate fanfics or orginals to exist in the site but I do wish that Webnovel.com/qidian can maintain and improve their regulation of the works they are publishing.

        I don't hate fanfiction, there are good novels out there. but it is true that the fanfictions make it impossible for us readers to find good original novels. the fanfictions and originals must be separated like translation and original.
        this will allow the original novel section to prosper. This is something webnovel has to do and I hope they will look into it.

        I also found some good novels in the middle of power ranking, these novels don't update daily and only have few chapters in their arsenal but they don't get the exposure like the other novels which update daily. perhaps separating fanfiction to another section will give these novels a boost.

        Ive been lurking for awhile and looks like there is no movement from Q.
        I do hope that they fix this problem since its hard to navigate the search function from being full of FF result.

        The last app version(Or the one before that) had a separate listing for Translations/Originals/Fanfics. They removed it for some reason and now everything is mashed up in one big pile of smoking hot shit.

        As a writer of fanfic itself, I am agree that fanfic should have their own section instead joined together with original, when I'm first tried to upload here, I am baffled by the two options that only available: translated or original, I know the heaviness in the term of "Original" and really hope that Q would change it in the future, we need more respect toward the author who worked hard on their novels.

        As for the reason why I wrote fanfic, I am hailed from FF, far before I even know any Wuxia or Xianxia (I do know some JP LN) I like some fic and hate others, and after reading so many, it just impossible for me to not writing some, but I am stupid and didn't have a knack for writing or good imagination, so, I postpone my idea of writing any.

        After two or three years later, after I had read many wuxia and xianxia (my first one is tales of demons and gods, then coiling dragon, I am so happy reading them , cost me a lot of sleep times TxT) I tried to fine any of those CN crossover but FF barely had any of them (Like seriously, you can count them with your fingers, along with their chapter) I do find one or two that is good but still, they're lacking.

        Thus, I have an inspiration to make one, its based on modern CN and I used JP char as MC, and I am totally did it just for fun while promote the original novel, (I realize by reviews I receive that most of them didn't recognize the novel or new to CN) And since I did without any serious attempt, I copy paste most of the words, (Like seriously, world building is hard... and construct character description without proper visual is terrible...) My grammar was bad and I had no idea what format I should use.

        Tl: dr, I agree that Q should give Fanfic their own section, and I'll believe that most fic writer out there is a wonderful people who express their enjoyment of whatever franchise their love through their work.

        lol! I didn't find this up till today, here's I thought it's only me who sees it a little annoying where the original, translation and fanfiction were mashed up together!!

        you see! There's another who did translate while using MTL as others did, and I really attempted to copy them trying to rearrange the sentences into something at least barely readable.

        Buuutt the vote really makes me lost on it when I see my original vote almost has the same vote with it(when it's first written) so I kinda stop it!

        because I feel that I'm destroying my own original vote number, but now I'm releasing my old idea on fanfic GDW since last week there's a contest about this and now I'm thinking to drop that since their vote is 1/3 of my original lol!~

        facepalm its really hilarious to see it hahaha, although yeah I'm the one who you call as a bad writer since my grammar, bla...bla... is really make people have cancer, at least I only write it for the people who enjoyed it, while I destroyed my own vote with my own fanfic!

        So the point is I really agree with this, translation(using inkstone), fanfic and original should be divided into different vote sections!

        And lastly, I want to complain! though I did vote there sometimes but this was something which always bugged me!!

        https://www.webnovel.com/book/8057964805003305/Book-of-Answers

        The numbers vote!!! If they were given into more good writers (don't worry I didn't include myself) work, then it would motivate them!! I know our tendency of trolling or alike which made it like this but man!! What the fck with this!!

        This type of page should have its vote disabled by QI/Webnovel!!!

          There are sooo many people on threads/posts/forums on webnovel complaining about this....If there was a petition on WN on changing the options from only originals(O) and translations(T) to O, T and fanfics, I think tons of people would sign it!! 😂

          Agreed, I am fine as long as:
          1) It is not a system (really hate those when they are mixed with Eastern Fantasy's cultivation for some reason) and
          2) It has a separate storyline.

          I mean, go ahead and use locations and such that are in the main novel. However, please don't change the storyline.
          Example Martial World idea here:
          Maybe a Fan-Fiction about a Disciple of Mount Potala could be made.
          Buddhist cultivators (proper ones) are incredibly rare as main characters in WN (maybe cos they boring as hell lol) but it could be interesting to see. Maybe take place between the timeline of the Great Calamity involving True Divinity Divine Seal and the original storyline.
          Idk, maybe even make it about Empyrean Shakya or some shit.

          There are plenty of ways to make a fanfiction while maintaining originality which no one does.

            I have problem with originals and translation as well, can we have both of them seperate? I want to check on new translation novels without getting so many dumb looking originals. I swear the app was good a few months ago but now we so many terrible originals just popping up. If your english is bad then either get a translater or quit it.

              evilmonkey I understand that you want the originals and translation novels to be separated so that you could find translations that suit you easier, but to be honest I think it isn’t so bad that originals are mixed in. There are some great originals novels out there that I would’ve never discovered if it wasn’t for the way that webnovel is currently set up.

                Daoisthentai I like looking for fanfics on this site, some of them are quite good, and its easier to find ones with ideas I like. But most of them are crap, lol.
                Yeah, create another ranking system for fanfics.

                    Let's sing around a campfire and sing the campfire song

                      We can always go and spam them with the review that they deserve. I mean 1 for world building 1 for character design and 1 for story development. The 2 remaining categories require checking few chapters to rate the writing quality. Stability of updates just checks the table of contents. They don't create worlds, characters or stories. How can I give them 5 stars for the copy-pasted thing? If it was separated, I wouldn't care its some kind of entertainment.
