Stories fall under certain tropes. Example of recurring ones :
CEO - rich guy + poor girl, first-sex pregnancy, runaway with child, often involves twins or triples or quadruplets. CEO will then chase/pursue the lost family. Beg the female MC on knees. Profess undying love.

Reincarnation - person with regret goes back in time to fix something, exact revenge, save self, save others, might or might not include romance. Spouse is usually powerful. Mostly happy ending. Usually contains romance and at least a dude with unrequited love. Horrible family with inhumane step sister or step brother will be there to make the MC even more miserable.

Game - leveling up, lots of statistics, intricate world setting, long chapters, monsters, magic, beasts.

Transmigration - person is revived in another world or alternate universe or in another person's body, usually will try to fix problems of the body's host and reconnect with host's old acquaintances. Usually comes with super power or super knowledge. Artist/actress/singer/lawyer/doctor/supermodel/gold medal athlete in one person.
Host will have horrible family or step family or betrayed by her lover and or fiance.

System - usually connected to either transmigration or game trope. Awards and punishes MC as it deems fit.

Now pick one of those tropes and pick the race. Human beings? Vampires? Werewolves? Monsters? Animals? Boggarts? Robots? Witches? Banshees? Ghosts?

You might think that those novels are trash, but Webnovel would not have put them online or even do marketing for them if they are truly without fans. You can see the amount of gifts and reviews and comments and PS and whatnot those novels get. They are adopted in WN because they already succeed somewhere else. Unlike most of the new authors here who are still trying to climb the mountain of glory.

The question is, what kind of original content are you looking for? The hidden gems are hidden, but not invisible. If you don't know what you are looking for, then tell what you are NOT looking for. You will get a bunch of recommendation by authors who are trying to shine 😉

      Wanna do a negative review swap.
      Let's hit each other with the worst we got lmao.
      Of course if we genuinely like the story there is no need to be mean on purpose though lmao

          Lu_Shui I wonder why I don't see much detective stories here, it's pretty boring to read all of those trendy books. Welp, I come to WN just to promote my novels from RR, worst, lol

              You mean similar to Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot?
              Possibly because that trope is not as popular in webnovel culture.
              I read Sherlock Holmes myself. Like it very much. I have the full canon version.

                Misguided_Rooster Never give up hope, Mr Rooster, for one day, you will find one that meets your tastes. Some hidden jewels are waiting for readers like you to discover.

                But when you are sorting through rubbish and find something that appeals to your taste, the author stops writing, sad.

                By the way, what is your favourite genre, if I may ask?

                    It's kinda true, authors just copy themselves at times, no having any new ideas btw can u read mine, it's totally my idea, no copied from any where or any famous work
                    Names: have to get it back and heart made of stone
                    If there's any problem, u can complain and criticize it
