Does anyone else only trust the reviews with 3 stars and below as their rating?
To Trust a Review

I never trust the 1star and most of the 5star.
But there is only one thing that I hate beyond anything, it's the 0Ch read review that basically just say: "I read the synopsis/ I looked at the picture and I Love it/Hate it." For those that do stuff like that, sincerely, go to Hell and stay there.
But on average, I would say that <2 stars are haters of the genre of your novel (Romance/Harem/System/BL).
For the 5 stars, sometimes they are emoji spammers that deserve to be kicked, people with weird personalities that just forgive everything for no real reason and people that saw your potential growth and give you a thumb up.
The rest depends on the content of the review but those at the 140 limit words doesn't understand the system of the review.

Innovation I have only one bad review, and is it exactly because of what you said.
2 stars
I haven't read the story, but just base on the summary, I'm confuse. What is the gender of the main lead? I mean there is demoness, granddaughter and miss but the pronouns used are he and him. Please clarify
Infuriates the shit out of me. I
try not letting it get to me, and replied as courtly as possible, but everyday I stray further from god’s light and want to simply choke that person.
Innovation Ah but it did make for a great comment fromm a fan though

Dumbass, just cause you are r.e.ta.r.de.d, doesn’t mean you have to take it out on the book.
The synopsis is self explanatory, and if you still got questions, read the first fu.ck.ing chapter. How you gon’ review stuff like World building and Character design when you haven’t even started reading. No, I am not going to clarify anything for you, cuz I honestly don’t want you reading this story, as your impulsiveness disgusts me.
I may not agree with the wording, but reading that felt very rewarding.
I won't say "trust," I'd say I'd pay instant attention to them, especially if they come with a whole block of angry and highly specific rant (yum).
As for a string of 5-star reviews that come from the same succession of accounts that leave generic two-liners on nearly every popular story here... I'm more surprised that those accounts are still only at lvl2 or lvl3 with the exp they must surely have gathered by now.
The 1-star or 2-star reviews for the sake of flaming are simply unfair, even if the sentiments behind them are understandable.
I noticed a confusing phenomenon in my random quests for juicy reviews, though: there are some 1-star reviews where the content is nice and glowing and couldn't be more supportive, then there are 5-star reviews that flays the story to the bones. Wonder what's up with those.

WinterBud You should check their history (click on their profile picture), a lot of the people posting spam reviews and calling everyone who disagrees with their opinion an idiot only have comments likes and reviews about the one novel. Makes you wonder if Mr. Author is a little narcissistic.
Many of my reviews lie between 3-4 stars, though I have given out one or two 2.5 stars. These 5 stars ratings are simply an eyesore. They're just lazy readers who are looking for quick exp and have no thinking process whatsoever. It's a shame really 'cause there really isn't a point to the whole rating system then; might as well not have it, you know? And as a person who picks up books based on ratings and reviews, often times than not, five to seven chapters in you know that the story is just plain ole cr@p and you think to yourself, "people actually like this cr@p?" And then the 1-star reviews. Don't even get me started! They're the ones who haven't even read a single chapter of the story and heard from word of mouth from others how 'bad' it is. Arrggghhhh! You imbecile! If only I could dislike some of these reviews.
But in spite all that I did manage to find some real gems buried in all this filth that litters webnovel, but they're so overshadowed by these other not so good stories that no one knows them. It's a shame, a real shame 'cause no one else is enjoying these beautiful works of literature except a select few.
