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 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...

                    Neverfire7 Hum......Then why is ur nose white?????

                    Got it. Did u put your head into the flour packet?

                        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...

                            (Universal God King BiBiK is embarrassed for not knowing the ref for coc. At least got the Europe part)

                                This junior merely wished to dabble in the poison arts to declutter his mind. After all, a distracted mind can think of nothing useful, let alone cultivate! Be assured Universal God, this junior focuses on his cultivation as much as he can!
                                (Tis an easy mistake to make, especially for those who are of pure heart)

                                  Neverfire7 I think the review should be their personal opinion and how they reacted, but with some insight. Considering how other people would react to the work can be a nice sentiment, but I don't think it's needed. I don't find your words ignorant at all. I'm just saying that when you write a review, you should be honest with yourself and with the reader, and think carefully about it. Are you rating it 5 stars because you honestly think it's the best thing ever, or because you think it deserves a higher rating? If you honestly think it deserves 5 stars because it's the best, then go for it, that's up to you. But if you're only rating it high or low for the sake of affecting the rating, then I think that's a problem

                                  Sorry for the wall of text. Tl;dr, your opinion is fine, and important even! But don't try to spoof the rating.

                                      Neverfire7 Good, Good. Respectful, obedient and will to take advise. Very good.

                                          Neverfire7 The Dao of Hacking is elaborate and probably not the one you had in mind lol.

                                              PearPressure and it should be fine now. How the title's rating will go... Now will depend on how good the story was and how much star the real readers going to give.
