Webnovel.Forum

KingBiBiK I think when Qidian announced they were expanding to host translations, you could sign up for an account but for the first month or so, it was on this trial/beta period where they would email you an activation code. Soon after each person was given a set of codes to give out to friends. After that, signing up was something everyone could do.

Just like what you said... It would be more fun to make it as a game. Like... 30 exp for the first commenter in a certain novel (state the title).

Make a good comment and got at least ten like to receive 10exp. Or 1exp for every like. And maybe involve the forum for the missions. As we are much active in the forum rather than the review section which full of scam review. I remember that 1star review in an unreleased title at the voting section. I hate those kind of reviewer. They don't even read it! It's rude to the Author, TL and ED! So I decided to give 5star to balance it. But what can I do? My review only gave the title 3 rate. Fortunately, there's people like out there who help me balance the rating until it was acceptable.

That is one of the reasons why I hate the review mission!

I'm never one to balance a review... And I never make a review. I also never do anything that will gain myself hate in this website... I've been loyal! But what do we loyal readers get? We old daoist get? Same starting line with the new cultivators?

Not gonna snort, because I consider myself as a lady. But I'm very disappointed. Unhappy. Sad. And my feeling right now is negative. Those kind of missions going to mess up the rating!

No offense Qidian... But we doing this so you could improve for the better.

Excuse my grammar mistakes and typo. I post this comment with a hot head. I don't bother with my grammar anymore!

TheLonerLion Agreed, something like translator/editor-moderated comments would definitely reduce spam. It might also increase the amount translator-reader interaction that's currently going on, but I think that may be a post for another thread.

Neverfire7 Thkx for letting me know.

KingBiBiK Twas merely a breath's worth of effort :)

TheLonerLion That's pretty nice idea you got there for the game.

Racing to comment first is pretty good.

The game idea I have in my mind is big and can even possibly earn QI some bucks in the future. Its little similar to what you had in mind with a bigger scale.

TheLonerLion My elegant lady,
You profile pic itself seems like like you are in a serious mood. You are indeed a LonerLion fierce and majestic. Leave the snorting to us.

Snort. We should have a pioneer symbol or something unique.
We should be pampered for being loyal. hum.......

KingBiBiK Snort snort Wait a second... why is my nose white?

TheLonerLion While I agree with what you said, I just have to state my personal philosophy for reviews; the review should reflect the quality if the work you review, not what you think the rating should be. Qi's review system is already pretty biased, I don't think they need help getting high reviews. No matter what the rating is, if the product deserves three stars, that what it gets. Not 5 stars because it has a 1 star review to get it to average out. Otherwise I feel like you're being dishonest towards whoever reads your review.

Maybe I'm just stuck in my ways though. I'm currently trying to become a professional reviewer so I'm always really particular about reviews and the like :>

PearPressure True that.

I review a book based on how I felt after atleast 40 chap. even it bored me to death and try to be honest as much as possible with a little personal bias and frustation if I have any in the novel. But what annoys me is the merge of translation and updating stability in the rating section. It pisses me off because a 3 novel ends with 4 after I give 4 and 5* to translation and up stab.

This sometimes makes me forcibily give lower rating to one or two sections to lower the rating to what they deserve.

PearPressure The people who review a work based on how well they think it would do with other people, no matter their personal thoughts, seem pretty rare to me. Shouldn't people give their own opinions whilst reviewing or else wouldn't every review be about how people think other people would react to the work?
I can't say that I've given many in-depth reviews before so merely treat my words like the passing breeze if you find my words ignorant.

PearPressure don't worry... I never doing a review except for that one time... Because I just read what I like and dropped it when I got bored. I never tells other of my opinion about a novel because everyone have a different taste.

Neverfire7 Are you by any chance a person of European descent? If it is that explains it lol

Neverfire7 yep! I never care for a review! I try to read the first few chapters of a title. And if I like it... I will continue to read it... But dropped it if I don't like it...

KingBiBiK My parents are Indian but I'm born and brought up in Britain

KingBiBiK How did you figure it out? What gave me away? My path to becoming a supreme hacker just met its first hurdle...

KingBiBiK The white stuff was a reference to... (Tries to find the least well-known name for cocaine) yeyo. I just found out that there are a lot of names for cocaine...
