Misguided_Rooster I simply don't read the books here, so...
There's something seriously wrong with a lot of authors

I gotta mirror the sentiments from a few others in the thread - it's really hard making something unique because the majority of readers want the tropey stories. There's definitely a lack of skill with many authors, but IMO there's also a lack of discernment with many readers. Some just straight up don't understand the actual written words on the page, much less any subtleties between the lines. I have had readers who thought one of my characters was one thing, despite me never mentioning anything close to what they assumed.
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 I morbidly curious, what story touched you enough to are this rant? What story broke the camel's back?
ThePotatoKing interesting 
.You always are
Read a story where the author repeated the sentences "her pink lips" "her jade hands" "her beautiful eyes" "her cute pretty little face" more times than actual story progression.
Misguided_Rooster Yeah, well, um, I guess that certainly could break some camel back.

It was just sad honestly, every singe chinese author or at least the vast majority do this and it's gotten sickening.
Misguided_Rooster yeah, after reading hundreds of Chinese/Korean/Japanese novels they all look similar. Now I read just three Chinese novels here and a few Korean on WW. I tried to read "original" novels from the local top-50, and didn't find even a single good one.
I'll never read anything from this site.
just looking at the top novels already tells me enough.
you could try my new novel https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-paradisus-chronicles_23435166305439805
Misguided_Rooster I did cringe while reading this response. LOL.

You sound like you have no personal life.
Find another hobby.
Petty little thing.
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
