Webnovel.Forum

BrabbitX I think you misunderstood. I actually agreed with you. I would prefer to have notifications only for our books (as in, the books you and I write). I don't care what happens to other books, since I am more concerned about the progress of my story and if people have interacted with it.

Akhilles Ah yes, i misunderstood you, my bad. On another note, 2 more notifications from this bullshit since I made the post. It might be a minor thing, but it's grinding my nerves more n more.

BrabbitX I was about to make a post about it and scrolled down to see the...half dozen in the first page-
After coming back to over 6 notifications from leaving my phone down during work, I've turned all notifications off from webnovel via my phone. I can ignore the mass of messages on the app no prob, but no more notifications at all, for anything from webnovel because of this bullshit

BrabbitX Same here. I simply closed the tab, went to work and returned to find three more notifications about people giving coins to other novels. Just out of curiosity, I checked those novels. The writing wasn't, well, exactly so spectacular that I would throw in coins at them. But what do I know? I'm just going to mute notifs at this point.

Vassitri It is frustrating, yes.

BrabbitX exactly, you get excited then realize it doesn't concern you. Kinda hurts sometimes.

every time I got inbox I thought it one of my novel that release new chapter but no, it was fking super gift so get the fk out of my inbox.

It's these kinds a spam messages that make you wanna just turn off all notifications for webnovel, which I suspect is rather counter productive for webnovel's goals.
You want people to be reminded of the app so they spend more time on it, get hooked on more books, and spend more money. But if you annoy them too much, the reverse actually happens. As usual webnovel's pr team or whoever is in charge of this stuff is sh*t.

When I opened the app this morning, I had 14 notifications, with 10 of them being those "super gifts". I had already turned off app notifications for Webnovel.

But I'm wondering about the reason why those super gift notifications seem to be getting more frequent. Could it be that people are actually getting hyped up about the idea of seeing their name being broadcasted like that, and started to open up their wallets? In that case, we might never see Webnovel turn this feature off Since it brings money.

Of course, it could all be fake, too. Who knows?

BrabbitX it’s the WN equivalent of junk mail! I don’t see the point too, why we would need to know who gifted this or that. It’s an underhanded way of promoting books. Thanks but no thanks, WN. I can search and choose my own novels without your help!

corruptus We are having competitions between whales pretty much.

No one from webnovel staff responds to this issue. Looks like they are keeping quiet as they want the whales to measure their wallets. And flex on everyone while at the same time annoying everyone.

To be honest, I was worried that there would be ping after ping, but I can already see the enthu going down. I feel unless a top author is doing some kind of promotion, this wont get much traction and long term, it wont really lead to a significant rise income for either party. We will see but this is turning out just like any other gimmick. They usually die down soon.

fantasybliss30 to be honest, this has annoyed me enough, that even if I get notified about this only once or twice a day, it would be annoy me more n more every day, even if it's only once or twice a day. The normal "events" are annoying enough, as they ALWAYS have nothing to do with me, now having another layer of spam is over the limits of my tiny patience.

BrabbitX Haha, I hear you and I am with you. XD Good thing i primarily use wn for writing and my brain is already learning to ignore these notifications. XD

Im about to 1 star the novels that notify me.

BrabbitX I understand how you feel but you should rate WN on Google play instead. Please don't ruin other novels
