[unknown] You're so childish and stupid.
The irony in this statement is just...wow.
Just so you know, I read OJROMANCE's book and I didn't write a review, nor did I "shittalk" it, so before you jump in and start insulting me for being stupid and insulting other people, make sure you're not just lashing out at everyone who merely disagrees with you.
before_after lol from your words,I feel like author didn't say he'll get his powers in first thirty chapters and work for his revenge. Maybe he wanted to grow the characters before doing it
While I agree with you that a reviewer had better stay away from a disliked genre I'll clearly state that you're plain wrong as far as the other subtopics go.
Given that I'm able to (in my role as a reviewer) present a succint, albeit subjective, opinion about a given work a review will contain at least the following:
1) character depiction
2) narrative
3) adherence to genre
4) good and bad points of the story within the scope of the genre for its supposed demography
Observe that the language used normally isn't part of a review, unless we're talking literary fiction, since mastery of the language ususally is taken for granted. Poor spelling, grammar and sentence structure is basically something new that came along with webpublications. Basically those stories would never pass through the very first filter in traditional publishing.
I did write that a review is subjective. It not only has to be, but it is supposed to be as well. A review is the reviewer's personal opinion about a work, backed up by more or less valid credentials as a reviewer. In the world of reviews some people have a better, or rather more powerful, reputation compared to others. In that sense it's the same as for authors.
For that very reason a reviewer will seldom make it known that they know the author. That kind of relationship undermines the validity of a review, in as much as a review could ever be valid to begin with.
Now, as for opinions about content, making it clear that a story is disturbing due to being "rapey or incest" is perfectly valid. A review is primarily written for other potential readers. It's reader faced, not author faced, and its function therefore is to give a new reader an idea about what is to be expected. If a story carry a set of human values which go contrary to the norm you'd expect to find that pointed out. This would be true no matter if the values presented are worse or better than the norm. Since there's a difference from some kind of standard values the reviewer will implicitly clearly make his/her views of that standard known.
Even if a story makes it abundantly clear that there will be a huge body count concerning innocent people a review that voices an opinion about the depiction of those killings is clearly doing its job. A reviewer stating that a work is a disturbing piece of disgusting crap because it glorifies the raping of recently killed humans is perfectly valid. Reading the review I get an understanding that the reviewer firmly believes there's no excuse for presenting said violations in a rose tinted light. I may or may nor agree with the reviewer (well I personally would agree) and either pick up or not pick up the story based on that review.
The main mistake with the rant I'm currently replying to is that it carries the notion that a reviewer owes the author anything. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reviewer, if owing anyone anything at all, writes for the readers -- the reviewer being one him/herself. As a reviewer I should avoid the idea that an author is some kind of special snowflake and focus on what I believe are the credits or demerits of a story. Nothing else.
Tomoyuki I ain't gonna lash out at you cause you did nothing but I'm gonna defend my post you replied to. It's mine. I called him childish cause the nigga read and wrote his review out of spite, stupid cause after deleting the review he came back to the forum to pop up more people and even said he will write another review over and over again. I saw those who even supported him and I'm like ..men, baby girl, this people ain't thinking from there head but thy eir arsecheek.
StenDuring Yo, all this is your business, I've said mine but I'm gonna add a little stuff. I said writing: stupid author is wrong, blah blah. This is a very stupid review, well some nigga still gonna argue on this matter, now that shit is your time, your business. I don't give a damn but all you yo writing unnecessary or stupid reviews. Go watch a porn online and after leave a review: stupid movie, the FL slept with three men or they fuckin forced her or the most stupid one, they were fucking naked!. Now people do this shit but it's called stupidity, accept it if you're stupid, you're stupid and don't carry your stupidness to an author review section or any thing review section. Some dumb asshit you niggas be doing and still yet you see some cool niggas supporting it.
Gem4Life yeah that doesn't even add up.... Girl seriously, your body responded and thats it...really girl, really.
Clowniac Dont be that guy (because they are always guys).
I can't
I come back randomly and just think, srsly?
Anyways, all you guys have said your piece, so let's just drop it. I'm sure the people that come by here and don't post have a feeling as to who's right, so no need to add on to anything.
Halona this is the only time I'm gonna address you cause from your replies I can tell you are very childish and immature. I am not the author of any book, the author in question did come on and attack everyone. Even though no one becides me was talking about her book
Most were trying to see both sides (you would have known that if you had read the actual posts), If the author had come and attacked me only then there would not have been such a big issue. As you have a right to post a reply, I also have a right to air out my grievances when I feel I was wronged.
Also, I don't know if you're black (I am) and I don't care, but please stop using the N word in your posts, cause I find it very offensive and I WILL report you.
Gem4Life Yo you're childish and immature. You fucking started this thread and the author only posted cause this thread is talking some shit about her/his book, now I ain't got no time to chat with a little nigga who got no brains but I'm gonna do that. U said u gonna report my account, yo I don't fucking give a fuck and this right here proves how childish you are. I ain't saying this to only black niggas, I'm saying it to all niggas cause I'm both and I don't care if you're too. You got a lot of shit in your head and I ain't gonna put up with it. If I can't mend it, I'm gonna mess it up. After webnovel doesn't block my account, come to columbia, devin street 153 and ask for Halona, you don't fucking know me and there we gonna find out who the fuck is childish.
Halona, you have been reported. Also for everyone present on this thread, I have sent an email and asked them to delete this thread. I am not one advocate toxic communication and I feel that this post has become a magnet for those type of people. So if you come and see that this thread is taken down (hopefully), then that is the reason.
Demonic_angel 70 chapters in and nothing happens, what growing? its obvious deception.
Dumping 150-200 spirit stones for growing, just so you can get to the point when he actually uses the synopsis? Why not be fair and just actually write an honest synopsis instead of baiting?
Also why would you then delete a sound review with several hundred words, which written with care.
Instead author goes and insults me as "shittalker" and defame me for searching for mistakes and faults in every novel.
Gem4Life hey, just saying, but webnovel could care less for putting in the effort to delete/lock this thread when requested through email. you would have better chances contacting the admins on discord or tagging an admin here. webnovel never really bans rude people unless they're speaking up against the company itself.
Halona
You a dumbass. You are the perfect reader for this kind of book. A match made in heaven. Give this woman all your money.
The author came in here, exposing themselves and telling everyone that gem was a liar, and that our reviews and opinions were not valid unless we read up to chapter 51.
If you're dumb enough to think negative attention is just as good as positive attention, I'm going to give you all the negative attention you want.
I in fact, did leave meaningful criticisms (not complaints smh), the writing quality was poor, the villian's reasons were shallow, Nana did nothing and contributed nothing but her pussy, and her husband was a dick.
Never said the story was bad, but it was definetly bogged down by the writing, and the handling of the themes.
Lilliny stupid nigga, hope you read this "I called him childish cause the nigga read and wrote his review out of spite, stupid cause after deleting the review he came back to the forum to pop up more people and even said he will write another review over and over again. I saw those who even supported him and I'm like ..men, baby girl, this people ain't thinking from there head but their arsecheek.
And if he deleted the review it cause of us her fans and he did the right thing because that shit ain't supposed to be there in the first place. he saved your sorry ass cause we'd finish you in there and you should be thanking him/her cause the only reason he did remove it is to save you from committing suicide and cause all the curses you brought with your stupid self.
I ain't gonna accept a review some stupid nigga wrote after reading a hate things about me. You're a foolish nigga, know this, summarize and die after summarising it. u don't know who you're dealing with yet, idiot.
Halona
Wheres your end quote? Did I say all of that... I'm sorry could you fix that.
I honestly can't figure out what that first paragrah is saying...
He (she?) came in here and called gem a liar, saying at first that he didn't delete any reviews. After that was proven wrong, he swapped to "only the bad ones." One glance at their page, and thats wrong too. Theres five star reviews thats just symbols and characters. They're still up because they bump the rating, there is no other reason.
I dunno about you honey, but deleting all reviews under 3 stars, is abusing the system.
I'm also not so immature to be swayed into killing myself over what some randoms say to me over the internet, especially when I know I'm in the right. The story, as it was by chapter 51, is 2.5 stars, not 4.6.
My response to you still stands.
It's ok to come in and defend something you like. But not like this.
I like romance books, like, a lot. It's really fun to wish for two people to get together despite the odds. But not when theres this sickening power dynamic.
It's funny, I originally was kind of confused as to why we would jump to the ML's POV after a section of abuse. Upon re-reading, it was to justify what he was doing. We the audience now knew that his actions were good and just, and that he loved Nana. But oddly enough, he never shows Nana this love.
I think a shining example that would have required no swap in POV would've been, in the Virgin Test arc, for the ML to tell his mother to piss off.
Thats right.
The ML is called possesive, and in retaliation, he tells everyone that this stupid test is over. That Nana doesn't have to take it, and he'll find out later. And even if theres no hymen, he just wouldn't care.
That would have shown us so much more than just swapping POVs. I would've thought that maybe he does like her, at least enough to not put her through something he even states earlier that he doesn't care about.
But whatever. Author needs to stop huffing their farts.
Also are you the author? You keep getting your person's confused. I, We, and Me mean like... different things person wise. Are there more of you? Are you a 40k Orc? Do I need to paint myself red?
