How does making more than 1 review per novel even make sense? This is the first time i’ve seen it happen. If the novel changes after your review, just edit it.

    Gourmet_DAO So only positive reviews are needed?
    If the novel is good the reviews will be good. Period.
    Only other "authors" (lol) will bother to write fake 1 star or 2 star reviews.Not readers.
    WN could just disallow review posts for accounts that use the same IP with an "author's" account.
    Done
    Easy

        It's the only way to have review average above 4 for all the random novels thrown in the trash-heap that is called WN.
        Just have some accounts post positive reviews for a novel while deleting the real reviews.

            xcares For example, I have positive swap reviews for 5 and 4 stars, there are honest reviews for 3 stars .. True, I received three reviews for 1 star. Because my English is not so good, they did not read the content, they looked only at the text, they were candy wrappers of the English language. What to do English is my third language. When I write novels, I improve it a little.

            And so authors can write knowingly bad reviews using the methods of black PR, unfair competition. They can successfully have five accounts and log in from different devices, they can even have a floating IP ... But this is not fair and not fair!

                Gourmet_DAO I agree it's not fair. That's why i mentioned that multiple accounts from a single IP shouldn't be allowed to review or even exist at all if one of those accounts is an "author".
                Normal users won't bother to badmouth your novel if it's good.
                And good knowledge of english language matters. It isn't my primary language as well but it's really off-putting how bad most "translators" and "authors" are at it.
                Better get back to learning it than writing or translating novels.

                    xcares The trick is that I am writing a novel so that someone is interested and writes a novel (for me) on the Silk Road and Treasure Hunting. I have a lot of factual material, interestingly, I want to share. It is a pity that many interesting first-born novels are almost all closed and many stones are needed. But the original novels are still open. There is hope that someone will take the idea and write a novel that I can read, chapters 200-300 ... Well, that's a vague hope.

                    I write ... in spite of my poor English, I have readers 140-150, they are interested. I write for them, for myself, I myself am interested and slowly my English is also getting better.

                    I will write in any case. But thanks for your feedback.

                        It would make sense to allow only one review but make it editable

                        I think they are already editable

                          I think Webnovel should stop give EXP for writing review because EXP reviews are annoying and distracting. Sometimes I can't find normal reviews among recent reviews at all. Implement something else to encourage people to write. On one site I use, 1 sentence reviews without opinion are forbidden. Review should be at least moderately informative. Users can give review "+" or "-" If review has many "-", moderator will check it and decide if it adhered to the rules, delete it if needed or ask to rewrite it.

                          Right now review section reminds me of trash bin with occasional diamonds in it.
