  • Remove Experience gained from commenting/replying.

They better be removed. Change them to something like "Read 10 chapters of any novel", "Read 5 latest chapters of different novels", "Read a 'New Released' novel", or "Read a novel of this 'Genre'". Or add special quests like "Read first 10 chapters of this or that novel", or "Add 10 novels to your libray".

This way, it also promotes readers to read more chapters and add more novels to their library.

You know that feel when you have many books in your library and you read at least 20 chapters a day, but the daily quests are like read latest chapter of a single book. Like wtf? Qidian, aren't you supposed to make us read more novels?

Agreed, all these bad comments are so annoying... I didn't bother making an account until my novels started going premium, because I didn't see the point in writing comments. It's all trash.

Peacecraft I totally agree. I had this exact thought today. I'm sure there are other ways that can be used to gain experience points.

    The f5 sect comments at most take 1-5 spots, but the exp sect comments sometimes are ~70% of the comments for a chapter, especially on popular novels.

    Free speech is great, but this just spam solely due to a daily comment/reply being needed for exp gain they defeat the original intention of the rewarded exp - to encourage discussion on that chapter or giving feedback to the translator (I'm hoping that is why QI chose to reward exp for commenting).

        Ebu8b but thats as far as it goes. No EXP reward for that. There can only be one FIRST and then none of the "EXP EXP EXP" that flood more than the rest combined.

            rennka were not pushing to restrict them. Were pushing NOT to reward them for EXP. We're not rallying for any other cause for it.

                I have to agree that they need to find something to replace the exp for commenting. You can look at any major novels comment section and at least 60% of it is spam posts for exp. It ruins the whole point of a comment section for a chapter. It should be comments about the chapter, or the translation.
                It is now even worse some people are now spamming 5 star reviews or 3 and half star reviews trying to get exp. Reviews were already being spammed with pointless bots/fanboys already with no one actually doing reviews. It is only getting worse now.

                Yes there will always be spam to be the "1st" comment. Like at WW with the F5 sect. But it is nowhere near as bad as the spam currently on this site because of the exp system. It is not even remotely close.

                Besides the gain you get from leveling up is so small what is the point of getting a 3rd energy stone? You only get SS for the first one. 12% is the highest you can get for friend invite spam to fake emails. So there is no point going beyond level 4 or 3 currently.

                The gain from leveling is so small, one could almost say it's a scam to artificially increase website traffic. That is what I think of it anyway.

                  AntiBallisticMayo Yeah lets ignore the part I wrote after first. I can assure you that 10 posts would be about F5 sect (or whatever they will call themselves), then 30 posts about how they missed the spot for the F5 or how much they want to join it.

                  Taking Exp away won't do anything.

                      Ebu8b The other posters have already expounded on what we wish to convey. I have nothing more to add unless the devs ask me for suggestions on replacements for removing comment EXP. And from the looks of things, you've got nothing else to add, either.

                          Peacecraft Maybe they could even offer some EXP for every chapter read? They could give it a cooldown timer to prevent page spammers from just breezing through every chapter. This can encourage them to read other novels available in Quidian and find other interesting titles that they would have enjoyed but ignored otherwise?

                              I'd certainly wager it serves a purpose for some sort of metric. "Look how popular we are! Our readers are so involved and active that we average x comments per chapter!"

                              Oh, and to further the ploy, all the forum threads and comments created in response to the spam.

                                  As one of those people you say that are spammers, I don’t just do it for exp.. i also just say my thanks for those translators that do the hardwork while i just read.. btw i do this to most of my favorite novel i spam thanks and puddings 🍮🍮🍮🍮🍮

                                    PuddingPeddler Frankly, I've got nothing against you thanking them for the chapters. But weve been seeing a mass of posts simply screaming EXP. Those have got to go. It does nothing for the readers OR the translators.

                                        AntiBallisticMayo Well they’re also part of the community although unhealthy, just let them be, they don’t do much harm and slander people..

                                        Which really hurt my feelings on ww, some people keep bullying a translator and he didn’t translate for 5 days, it really saddens me and he was the one translating bem and og.. the horror of not reading og 😣

                                            PuddingPeddler The request isn't to do anything to those users. It also really has nothing to do with the translators themselves either.We're just trying to get the admins to consider removing the incentive they have, and perhaps replace it with something else. Otherwise a very large portion of the comments consists of: expexp dotdot

                                                And aye aye, this is basically the crux of the matter. Wait. How DID you get and image uploaded here?

                                                    Hmm well i do get your point but thats why we have forums right for discussion.. but i can agree on changing that so they could spam less but would it also be bad when you see chapters that have less than 10 comments.. i’m thinking on the translators side.. it’s like having a youtube channel with no community.. good or bad..
