Really really short but- idk bout y'all, but it seems to me like everything in the female section/vote is literally the same thing with different names now. Lowkey boring lmao i'm not really here to pay for the same books but with different names? there's deadass like five novels i've seen just scrolling by briefly that have something to do with "indifferent CEO" and "flash marriages" or, just something along those lines.... aigh
everything's basically the same thing... ??
cxw_ yep. Welcome to Webnovel. But I think it's just a matter of searching and digging deeper to lesser popular genres. There are refreshing concepts under these types of books.
A certain topic/theme is the 'most popular' thing. Readers (not all readers of course) crave that 'popular' topic, so to meet the demand that's what the site promotes/translates and prioritizes.
As a reader- yeah it honestly sucks in my personal opinion.
But as a business, they're just following what makes them bank. Enough people out there are demanding for their overwhelming overbearing CEO flash marriage romances and willing to pay for them.
Quality books are out there, but they won't be put on the pedestal of this site anywhere near as much as ripoff hit sequel #999
I think I've probably read 90% of the books that are actually interesting (to me at any rate lol), but I'm hoping I'll find some more. I've already re-read quite a few that I enjoyed quite a few times lol...

cxw_ that's translation and premium stuff right? In a different, underground, section of the catalog are the free originals that might not be trope. These stories could possibly be eye openers.
I'll list some that are originals of originals (kind of) here to demonstrate that there are quality stories.
Non contracted and one contracted that struggles to meet a paying market. The writing is solid and near traditional publishing quality.
[Boys Love Gem]
https://www.webnovel.com/book/12798310306399405/The-God-of-Love-is-a-Deadbeat
The writer is quite well known on another platform. Although it's boys love, it's more light romance at this stage and more comical. The character design is solid.
[Slice of Life Gem]
https://www.webnovel.com/book/11382928405358405/The-Dorm-Guard
I continue to recommend this original completed gem. It's a feel good story with a solid character design. There is a romance sub-plot involved. It's mostly about a guy realizing his strength in being a strength for others.
[WN Parody Gem]
https://www.webnovel.com/book/17160272705689705/Otherworld-Isekai-Service
Actually, this one did quite well in a recent WPC to be one of the winners, but being non contracted will ensure it's not marketed here. It's funny as, especially if you are familiar with WN tropes and cliches.
[Romance Gem]
https://www.webnovel.com/book/16552830705355705/Acceptance---The-Conscious-Awakening
This story is emotional but respectful to people's feelings. The writer has the power to touch peoples hearts. Being non contracted the chances of a feature are 10000:1
[Contracted Purfect Story]
https://www.webnovel.com/book/13371016505582505/Wanted%3A-Purrfect-Cat-Guy
A contracted original that seldom gets promoted due to the irregular updating rate. The author has chosen not to lock chapters (so it's free). It's a well written story of a different kind.
Hopefully, these add some proof to pudding that WN catalog hosts quality stories.
