KillerHemboy love your book by the way
The end of Webnovel and the start of Wattpad 2
veinglory unfortunately the world does not work that way. Theirs this thing called supply and demand. And the demand for female oriented books is higher than male oriented books(because there is more female readers overall). What I'm saying this website base on the trend that I have observed with other sites might/eventually turn to a second wattpad. And look at wattpad now where are male oriented books?
They come, they out demand us they conquer our ranking and eventually the whole website is littered with their bullshit. And what do males hate the most? Why is there no new male oriented books on wattpad? BECAUSE THEIRS NO FUCKING DEMAND FOR IT THEY ALL FUCKING LEFT! WE MADE THIS WEBSITE WHAT IS NOW WE(MALE READERS). WE NOT YOU, NOT HER WE. OUR MONEY OUR DOWNLOAD COUNTS! AND NOW THAT THEY FOUND A BETTER SOURCE OF MONEY THEY forgot about US! Did you ever wonder why is all the new male oriented books shity hahaha their slowly trying to kick us out but before that they want to suck us dry first.
Romance oriented literature isn't exclusive to a female audience. They also tend to spend more effort into character development than classic cultivation novel.
Your understanding of supply and demand is bad. As long as there is demand for "non female" oriented books there will be supply. If demand for "female" oriented book exceed demand for "non female" oriented book there will simply be more "female" oriented books. That doesn't mean the supply on "non female" oriented books will lessen.
The10thCrow calm down
Pretty sure this guy is just trolling. At least i hope he is.
The10thCrow I agree partially I guess without a shadow of doubt the female MC Novels have invaded Webnovel heavily and also occupied top 10 I mean look at it even completed Novel FMHM is still in top 3 even how many weeks (it's a great novel I have read as well as voted for it) but this Trial Marriage one definitely doesn't deserve top spot too much repetition of stuff. Well people have different tastes and have to be respected. But these days the female MC Novels are almost the same especially the CEO ones they are outright crazy I guess it's the ongoing trend. A pity that a few gems are also hidden among them. These types have become more generic than our OP shameless CN MCs they are every where.
One thing I give props to Webnovel is that they divided new voting to male and female or else as it's a daily task and female comes first many just blindly vote for them. I myself vote semi blindly I just look at Male MC and give a vote to each ( I am not against any Female MC Novel) but because of division there is bit balanced I anyone can clearly see the no of votes they tilt heavily on Female MC makes me think oooh we have many female readers or Romance fans but I remember it's daily task and think of Humans laziness or indifference perhaps.
Well all in all its just my opinion still with out a shadow of doubt Webnovel is getting crowded. And it's not even free well we don't have right to complain regarding this . Still I feel a bit moderation is required
Tbh i'm surprised so many people read the female lead female target books, they're always at the top of the ranks on both original and translated.
Guess I’m one of those ‘abnormal’ females who actually has their screen set to ‘male’ because she’s tired of all the ceo romances.. I still like them no doubt—I have a really wide range of genres I like—but maybe the problem is with the automatic gender split Webnovel has in place (male and female, like really?). Whether the lead is FL or ML, it doesn’t matter so much to me as long as they’re good and the story is compelling.
But in speaking of ‘originality,’ I’ve seen plenty on both sides with the same old storyline, namely cultivation/litrpg for male and romance for female. This wouldn’t be bad, but it amazes me how similar a broad plot can be written so many times. Like, isn’t there so many ways to fall in love? Why is it always the same? Same with cultivating and leveling up... Meh whatever. I still haven’t tried out all the books yet, so that’s a testament to the amount of content available which is good.

The10thCrow I do agree that those over-bearing MLs are rather annoying but just because a novel has one doesn't mean that all of it's aspects are bad, there are still the good aspects and plenty of interesting books out there that are still interesting even if they have one of them MLs and as you said it, used to be male oriented majority so obviously there will be times where it'll be female oriented majority, things will just be alternating. It doesn't always have to be male oriented majority and things will be always alternating and changing, trying to reach an equilibrium, going back and forth.
Also, please respect those novels because although you may not like them does not mean other people do not like them, just see their power rankings, (although I do admit that they aren't the best morally and realistically especially the r** ones) but that doesn't mean that they deserve to be called sht and stupid.
My point is to respect those novels because translators, editors and writers have put effort into them, giving constructive criticism is understandable and helpful but it really hurts when someone is just plain insulting your hard work, constructive criticism is different from plain disrespect and rudeness.
In addition, novels are the result of the writer's imagination and everyone thinks of stuff with different opinions, with writers thinking up of different plot lines which some may like and some dislike.
Plus just because it's female oriented doesn't mean that males can't read them, just like how females can read male oriented novels such as Douluo Dalu and Coiling Dragon (they do coz I'm female and I really like them)

You misunderstood. I am saying females are more likely to look for Originals (because they want more romance materials). That's why they push these original harder.
Males on the other Hand (my speculation) are mostly satisfied with the translated ones and might neglect Originals (either Male or female oriented.
Because of this imbalance in commitment and demand for originals, female oriented book gained more popularity in the Rankings.
I mean, I think assume that the Portion of male Readers is higher than female, so why are the Rankings still balanced otherwise?
Chryiss Maybe I should start doing that too, CEO ones keep on appearing, it seems that the algorithm hasn't caught on that I DON'T LIKE THEM NOVELS AS MUCH AS EASTERN FANTASY AND MARTIAL ARTS ONES WITH A NON R**IST ML!!! But some of those novels with that kind of ML are still good but I keep on seeing MLs who meets the FL once and then suddenly starts stalking or harassing them, like... NO MEANS NO, DO YOU REALLY NEED THEM TO REPEAT IT 100 TIMES!!! Though, just because a novel has that kinda ML doesn't mean that it's a bad novel overall, btw people should not learn from such MLs, if you didn't know, such actions of stalking and harassment can get you into legal trouble

The10thCrow as a female reader... i like and support super gene. That is all.
The10thCrow Although I am a female, I do agree with you. Female-oriented novels are just a carbon copy of each other and that makes me sick of it already.
Rhueless you are the exception not the rule
FleetingClouds because nothing happens instantly. The take over is gradual.
Angelyay thats the fuxking thing sure some female read male oriented books. SOME! THE THING IS AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY DONT! WHAT THE MINORITY THINKS DOES NOT MATTER! WHY! WHY! DO I MUST KEEP REPEATING MYSELF!
IF YOUR GIRL AND READ MALE ORIENTED BOOKS
I T. DOES. N. O. T. MA. TT. ER
Mute because female read them. Their are more female readers overall.
The10thCrow I’m done being nice now, do u not understand? The world doesn’t go ur way, it goes in the majorities’ way, it’s not like all female oriented books are bad (although many are really similar but there are good ones out there) and please don’t think a book is bad just because it’s female oriented Just because things aren’t going the way you would’ve liked it doesn’t mean you should hate them and although there are plenty of female oriented books, webnovel/qidian as a company wouldn’t be as stupid as to decrease male oriented books too much of an extent in case of backfire and such
They will at least be trying to make them more or less equal, but if you aren’t convinced yet then I guess... you can just do what you want and I’ll do what I want

Oh look, the boy doesn't want to share the playground with the girls. Boohoo!
Webnovel releases one male-lead and one female-lead per week. Male-lead books already have an advantage over the female-lead books, having been the majority of translated works from the beginning. I don't know what you're complaining about as there has been no decrease in the number of books being released "for guys," and if you're complaining about a decrease in quality, don't blame that on the females and on what they read. Blame it on management and the translators and editors. It's not like the female-lead books are top quality anyway.
The influx of females here made the market expand. It didn't limit your choices, it's just that your taste is not the taste of the majority anymore. The books that you read are still there. If they ever disappear, then it would be because those kinds of books don't get enough suppport, and that would not be the fault of the females but the fault of supposed fans who didn't show their support.
Take the translator of LOHP and The Beautiful Time With You: he posted on TBTWY that he would be focusing more on LOHP because that's what pays the bills for him. So I don't know what you're on about that translators will be neglecting "male-oriented" books just because there are now more "female-oriented" books and more females here. If a story is good and people support it, translators won't drop it in favor of something else (there could be other reasons for dropping but certainly not what you were implying).
Basically, money speaks, and if you're really that concerned, then open your wallet and let it speak. It's not as simple as supply and demand. As long as there is a market, no matter whether it's niche or mainstream, minority or majority, someone will serve it. And qidian will not be foolish enough to get rid of the male market as long as it is profitable. That's the reality of life. Stop blaming the females. It's funny because at the same time you say it does not matter if a female reads a male-oriented book. Basically you want males to be alone in this. You want webnovel to be the playground of men like you think it used to be. Things change, and women make up half of the world population. Deal with it.
