Try reading Fate Online: Shadow, the book has high ratings but after you read it you will realize youve been scammed and tried pointing out the mistakes to the author but instead told me to go back to school 
and deleted my previous review. Now he is acting like an a**hole in the review I made again
In your opinion, what is the most OVERRATED book on this site?
I agree on that. Every time I see glaring mistakes and broken English, it annoys me a lot. I can tolerate some mistakes here and there due to lack of editors, but there are so many novels that are painful to read as a native English speaker.
Wish there was an option to filter them.

Exactly!
The Chinese Novels (be it TRANSLATED or ORIGINAL) gets more preferences, which leaves us, the authors from different nationalities hanging. And, it annoys me a lot. Even if you get a high rating, you won't be featured among the top novels or front page.
It hurts me a lot
COLD CEO STUFF
RAPE TURNED LOVE STORY
These novels get high preferences, and it pisses me off. My novel gets nowhere even if it has high ratings!!
Those novels with super cringy and cheesy romance and one that's full of face smacking. Well I won't name drop since they fans are often scary lol.
Overrated for me but not for some specially for new readers since that's supposedly new to their taste. Just a matter of preference :-)
I got through half of library of heaven's path, and it was far too repetitive for me. This book was, and maybe still is, one of the highest rated books on this site.
Hahaha Ooppss happened bad with you. Many contracted authors are teens and have a clumsy style but high ratings, all because rape and face slapping cliches.
(Not claiming I'm that I'm best) but there are such authors who even mix up the simple pronouns.
Agreing with most of opinions above my comment. And... System novels are mostly boring and cringeworth. I mean, the whole idea of leveling up in a novel must have sounded refreshing like, 10 years ago, but reading about a dummy getting achievements because... Just because one is born with one and only reason in life: collect levels and be the Galactic Ultimate Lord Master on anything.
I really hate when I open a book and there is a manual to understand levels. I mean, you can't even put it inside the narrative and you consider yourself a novel writer... *Sighs. Go write a tabletop RPG.
The genre probably have some good novels, it just happened I didn't find it myself.
As most, I am not perfect as writer, but as reader I'm really picky.
Seeing this kind of issue for system type of novels, I was surprised by how bland they seemed, mainly focusing on how OP and amazing the MC is.
Since I'm a fan of the transmigration/reincarnation genre myself, I've been striving to deliver a good story that contains system elements, but does not use it as the main focus.
Feel free to check it out if are still looking for something of that genre, where the MC isn't OPed just because the author wished him to be.
Funny thing- I'm writing a transmigration novel with a system, but intentionally subverting reader expectations about the MC, his "harem", and so on.
It's a very polarizing story. People either love it or cannot STAND it, which I find absolutely hilarious.
wow, and i read the suggested above. i wasn't willing to continue my own novel thinking my english isn't satisfactory enough for novel writing. but then they're in the rankings...
The only way to improve your english is to keep writing. Have other people find faults in your writing and learn from them.
And then of course read other novels so that you can compare how your writing differs.
Clowniac kazesenken well, at the moment i'm trying to self-study editing so i won't get disappointed with myself again. even if readers can bear it, i can't.
CEO stories aren't overrated. Even if the title says CEO have you read the plots? The plots are extremely intriguing and there's a reason why people like them here!
Imo any novel with a good plot line makes it to the top.
TinyRustyPanda Imo it's not that bad, although it gets boring. I stopped when I had to pay, it's good as a brain-dead time waster, but not much more lol
Oh boy. "Once human, Now a Parasite". I actually admire the author, scrolling through the review it's either 5 star or 1 star... I would've long given up but he got to 400 chaps. But that's where my admiration stops - the novel is complete shit, the sentences flow badly, etc. At least for me, it was featured a few times. I tried to read it exactly 3 times, and haven't gotten past 10 chaps ONCE. It might be just me, but I can't stand it...
- Edited
I think my writing is pretty decent, since I haven't really gotten any negative comments yet. But since I'm just doing it as a hobby (basically, only updating 3x/week), it'll likely never be featured on the front page.
I really can't see my self shamelessly promoting it either, as I find it pointless to artificially boost the ranking by using my own power stones.
Feels like it's hard to get a decent story out there in the open, unless you have a lot of followers.
kazesenken So why do you think your story is overrated? Sounds to me it's neither overrated nor underrated, and I think that's a good thing.
I wasn't saying that my story was overrated. I was commenting on the visibility of overrated stories because of mindless promotion, when other stories that have decent writing go under the radar simply because the rating system is all one big game.
I've pretty much steered clear from the popular stories because most of them are painful to read. The true gems seem to rarely ever be promoted enough.
kazesenken Oh, sorry about that. I can assure you that even though whatever I write remains under radar, my writing is not decent at all. It's actually pretty awful, so I understand why it remains obscure and under the radar. I deserve to be unpopular, and I apologize for giving you such a painful experience if you ever read my stuff, so avoid it at all costs.
