Makes no sense to me, how can new comers compete with oldgoats? Specially when they already have 500 supporters....

I've been writing for like three days and only got 20 readers, how can we fight old authors like that? Atleast include that we should use new accts with name as Anonymous, atleast by that we can compete fairy, if a popular author writes an original with only 10000 a's, it will even get 1000 votes, its really an event full of wholes,...

    I'm not a writer,but with a 2 week limit it is obvious you are not actually meant to win.

    Unless they establish a power Stone specifically for original novels you are screwed.

    There is already a power ranking just for original novels, so a power stone just for them doesn't seem so far-fetched. It would also encourage readers to get more familiar with original novels.

    MysticGuardian True about that. There will be probably more origanal authors even I'm swaying around if I should or not because for me it takes to much time to even make one chapter.
    1. Step - write the book in your original language
    2. Step - you need to edit it and look for mistakes
    3. Step - translate to english
    4. Step - edit it again
    That would be how it looks for me and the difficult part is bot the translation it's the writing I'm bad at conversationsšŸ˜­šŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

      OmnipotentDad Wouldn't that beat the true purpose of this competition?

      In all honesty, this is not "Who can write the best for the day", This is to encourage people to grind their works to be 'marketable' enough for Webnovel to notice. Its more like "Let's see who could cross this ridiculous 15k mark so that we could gauge the profitability of the originals" competition. that's the truth.

        Its nice that there would be writing competitions... power ranking is like a battle for popularity, having writing competitions could help new writers engage and be known. Popularity based competitions, most of us cannot stand a chance.

          It's sad to see authors writing stories for money. You guys only saw the rewards without thinking of the satisfaction it brings to write a fiction from scratch.
          There's not enough money in the world to remunerate your brain for giving readers wonderful stories that shape their lives.

            I want to write a novel.. but why would it need to be in my original language.. I am better in English LOL

              It's really unreliable when the top 3, and even the top 10 novels are not good.. maybe, it's just me though

              Qidian needs to have a separate powerstone thing for Original Novels, I need all mine to keep my favorite translated novels up on the rankings.

              I get it that theyā€™re trying to give bonus rewards to support the authors. But power stones are coming from the readers, so whatā€™s in store for us?

              Promeo Even authors need to pay the bills if you expect authors to put in the time needed to create good quality works money has to come in somewhere or else you will only get unfinished, unedited hobby projects that belong on fanfic sites.

              Cobyboy that would be good to me, atleast i`ll have a chance to catch up!. they already got alot of followers, cus they made their books 3weeks before me! , if i get to top 10 in the first day, i could atleast get new viewers!

              Quhon it would be a lot of work for you, if you write it in your language, i respect your decision but i would suggest a more effective way, if you have enough time and money to spend, just write the chapters in english and hire an editor or you can ask any expert in english to voluntarily help you, if he does help you than you can just enjoy writing your chapters the way you write and leave the grammar work to your editor, if you can't find an editor i suppose you can just do whatever you want...everyone shall respect an author's decision. :thumbup:

              Cobyboy I don't think anybody can cross that mark. Not for another six months at least. This could only be possible when original move become more mainstream. But for now it is just as ridiculous as the 120.000 word count required or the contract.

                Anone It is hahaha as far as I'm concerned, the WN team wants to surprise themselves if someone could actually reach that mark, "I bet 200$ that they wouldn't reach 15k within a week" boom, prize money... hahaha

                  Cobyboy yeah. But I guess the idea of a price money has everybody going insane.

                    Why bother a separate PowerStone System? Up Till now I didn't reall Care about PS as Top Translated Storys mostly stayed at the top. But now with Original Novels the PowerStones have gained new Value for me (supporting favourite Author/Story),

                    But yeah, the more Storys come in ... the more you want to Support ... The less you can actually distribute ... The Numbers keep getting thinner and thinner, but maybe, this is a good Thing. It might become easier to reach the top but also increase survival of the fittest.
                    What I have also realized is (maybe Just Imagination) that Storys that came since Day1 are more popular or Storys that came later or come in now, have it harder to get recognized. I think that is Natural as older ones could somewhat establish themselves, while newer ones need time (more chapters, Story Progress) to get "Discovered" and recognized and then maybe comes the jump through the DragonGate

                    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL The Power Stones goals are a bit over the top for the Original novels. Iā€™d recommend revising the current system to allow each user was eligible to vote Power Stones on 2 different types of novels; once a day for the ā€œTranslated Novelsā€, and once a day ā€œOrginal Novelsā€ with the Power Stones of their level. For example: a level 4 user receive 2 Power Stones daily, that level 4 user will be eligible to vote Power Stones two times; 2 Power Stones on Translated, and 2 Power Stones in Original. This would give more authors at least more of an incentive to write.

                      WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Hello. I'm the author of The Witch CEO who ranked 3rd last week. I was not able to accept the discord invite that was sent to my inkstone account. Unfortunately, the invite has expired before I could accept it now. I would like to request for a new discord invitation. Thank You!
