So totally agree!!! Am reading a translated novel at the moment and most of the comments on every single chapter are complaints about the privilege section being a scam and its only 1 short chapter a day, give us more or I'm dropping this book....
It's a regular 1 chapter a day (albeit short) and 2 on Fri thru Sunday's. They are getting so bad now that hardly any comments are about the actual story and its horrible to just read the comments section now. People need to realise that authors and translators don't live chained to their computers for our convenience.
If you want to read a book in 1 go, wait till its finished before you read it!!!

yaoyueyi hopefully all ur good deed will be rewarded. I understand, n i hope u will always persue ur writing n do be happy. I'm rambling, keep up the good work. May god bless u

Woahh... If a reader demands too many chapters on the ORIGINAL novel from the author, then s/he is totally insane!

There are original & translated novels here. Both are obviously different. Gosh, please at least get that right. facepalm

one of the main problems of webnovels are bunch of readers thinking translators are authors or authors are translators. and they end up generalizing everything.

Clowniac The tool shouldn't be in the hands of authors, abusive/spoiler reviews should be reportable at most.

As a reader i don't mind to wait quite a while as long as each chapter got satisfactionary part even at the end might be making me depressed coz i want more. But then,thats fine because it makes me want more that waiting for next one is always exciting..
And i believe you dont have to always follow what your reader want too, because its your story and you wrote it. Readers might give you some ideas if you have dont have idea whats next to write but its still up to you. You know more how would be your story gonna be..
Its always important to enjoy the things that you do to keep you going and makes you able to write the feelings that needed on you story.

Ummm yo pienso que los que son responsables de la página hacen su mejor esfuerzo por se puede hay que estar mejorando aún más

Well, you know, in principle I dont disagree with you. I feel like things could and should be better when it comes to this issue.

But, as everyone else has mentioned, this is not the topic at hand.

I see this so often. One thing that made me laugh my ass off was seeing a review complaining about how the story needed a better translation because the writing and grammar sucked.

This was on an original. Written by a native English speaker. I genuinely dont think it was a joke. Lol

mmiezaa translations still take a lot of time still, though :D authors/translators both have to work a lot

Ekane thank you...? but what good deeds? haha I'm a bit confused :sweat_smile:

TheyDreamer uhhhh I don't agree necessarily? :cold_sweat: it is definitely difficult to be a published author irl, but on webnovel, being an author isn't that unique. anyone can do it.

I agree with you ! I am a medical student and currently in my third year. I have my annual papers after a month or so. I don't even know how I am managing all of my studies along with writing
A few days back I got a review which were full of praises but asking me to update more

I am a dental student! Barely gets 4 hours a day at most for other activities. So writing novels along with my daily work it's really a mess.

If a person were to demand 4 chapters a day, he must have been influenced by novels from Chinese giants, who have published hundreds of chapters with 2-4 or even 6 updates per day, after their work had been translated.

For them it's their life, so be it, for us it's a hobby we cherish. I had published 60+ chapters till now on alternative days, so 3-4 chapters per week itself let alone 4 per day.

yaoyueyi THIS. Its so hard to juggle between work, social life, studies and interests. Some readers forget that we're humans and need a break every once in a while.

balubalubalu666 same here !!!! Becoming a dentist!!!

I am the author of an ongoing original science fiction novel called 'Trapped in Time'. Writing is a hobby for me and so is writing poetry. I find that I have very few readers who are posting comments. Those who do post suggestions, I do make the necessary corrections if I think they are pointing flaws in my story. But so far I have not had anyone telling me how to write my novel. Incidentally, I have more of the silent readers.

I also work and take care of my home and kids. By the time I get back from office, it is 8 p.m. Cooking, dinner etc does not leave me much time for writing, but I write my chapters as drafts, and publish these as and when I have checked them.

Yes, reading speed is definitely more than writing speed. Writers have to struggle in imagining the scene and putting that scene to paper in script form. A reader, on the other hand, will just read and frame the picture sequence in his mind as he reads. Hence, a completed novel is easier to read for anyone. Readers would naturally get impatient when they are reading the published one chapter a day or two chapters a week especially when these chapters leave them at cliffhangers.

yaoyueyi as a reader, I personally prefer stories that take longer to update, because the quality of grammar, content etc are usually much better. Also, the suspense gives me something to look forward to, and the feeling of satisfaction from finally getting to read a new chapter is better. All respectful readers and true fans would know that not all authors devote their entire 24/7 to writing, you guys have your own lives too. And anyways, good things are ALWAYS worth waiting for. Mad respect to all you true authors out there, who take time out of your lives to bring happiness to us your readers!
