Hmmmm
I'm pretty sure a bunch of novels do this..
Even Qidian allows users to rate without even reading a single chapter..
Maybe an author from a high school/college that rallies his friends to support his novel and give good ratings.
whe they could be family and friends he invited to make comments about his novel, thats why there new and level 2
Well, we'll see what webnovel thinks - they can see IPs. Also, even if the guy has really good family and friends, it's quite something for them to log into webnovel every day and make sure to give their pstones
If you want to laugh, Webnovel even put such novel on the front page. Even MULTIPLE times.
Actually you should do this as an Author.
Vote manipulate your way to Top 100.
Webnovel would pick your novel in Trending Section. I only saw a strange novel yesterday not in Top 100.
You will get huge exposure. If your novel really good, you will have readers, which will allow you to slowly remove your clones.
Webnovel put a blind eyes to this pactice.
So close the thread. It is allowed.
Even if i really don't like this practice, mostly because i makes me feel like these guys are just writing so that people can come stroke their dick/clit/ego for them rather than because they actually want to write and publish a good novel.
i also understand that its simply something that won't change. big bro @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL isn't going to check or delete duplicate ip reviews, they're not going to filter anything, nor will they block people from making alt accounts to review again. Hell, like the guy above me said, they even actively promote a couple of those novels already, with the most blatant ones being Shadow Hack and Last Wish System.
It's just the way things are, and it happens on every single platform where making reviews is possible, unless some controls are put in place, such as duplicate IP review and duplicate IP account blocking. Even then, there are plenty of ways around that so its not entirely fool proof either.
So, given @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL 's complete lack of shits given for this matter, i highly doubt anything will be done, much less implementing Duplicate IP blocks, because all they care about is making money. The rest can either go to hell or sort itself out on the way there.
MasterRabbink I think novel picking in trending section is automated. They just set the required parameters and any novel that fulfilled the parameters will be featured. Which is lazy and bad, especially when they featured half-baked novels most of the time.
LetThereBeMagic Nope. I think there is an editor. There is several novels which get publicized several times in a row. If it is algorithm, it wouldn't happen. They would check when the last time a novel appeared. Also it would be better for their sites if the Trending Original and Daily Update section had different novel every time. It would make their originals seems larger, but sometimes same novel appeared at the same time. (I don't think this matter actually if the author post their novel daily, they should be given a chance to appear in daily.)
Also high rated/voted novel, but with poor writing barely entered both Daily and Trending. There is someone who read and check.
Perhaps the editor miss click when he adds that novel.
Do you realize FanFic rarely get front page for example while they have lots novels in Top 100? Yet once in a full moon, there is one or two in the front page. If they use algorithm they wouldn't appear at all or would appear multiple times.
LetThereBeMagic they will contact the author first to inform their novel will put on trending.
MasterRabbink have you read ghost King or knight or whatever? It is being featured on the main page for a few days already. This one is not even half-baked. Still raw and bloody. Such a slap in the face for original authors who have been begging for editors and proofreaders.
LetThereBeMagic Yep. The Cutrator is bad... (He/She didn't pick my novel. Lol) Ok. Te be serious, The first non Top 100 trending is happened this week, I think.
The worst, HIATUS even get in there. THAT IS STUPID advertising for original novel. Do they want to sabotage all original authors? Readers would be afraid when they saw last update 1 week ago.
If they used algorithm, remove novels with Last Update more than 1 days.
Also to be warned, there is a fishy novel in the current contest. BE CAREFUL @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL! He/she played a good clones/somewhat he/she had lots of friend in Webnovel. You should check the IP before announced it.
The number of chapter (no interesting point yet) + non Naruto/FanFic/System/FemaleRomance + even the author's past readers (if the author used Bai method) compared to the vote didn't match.
If this works, then it is an EASY way to make some FREE SS. Gwahahaha.
MasterRabbink Out of curiosity, which fishy novel are you referring to? I would like to go and take a look at it myself before i make a judgement.
CreamPuffDelights This Rabbink is not 100% sure, so I couldn't mention it. Sorry.
If it is another novel with this questionable method similar to To Cultivate A God. As I mentioned it before, Edea. I dare to mention it since I am at least 99% sure. :P
The 1% Perhaps similar to To Cultivate A God, the author might have many family members. Lol.
SweetsTomato but they didn't inform me when I was on trending?
SauceMaster64 I dunno, I only know from my friend that have his novel on trending before. Are you in discord webnovel?
SauceMaster64 Perhaps you put a wrong contact number or they contacted your cat. Lol.
Joke aside I think I also read that somewhere ages ago. Never been that popular enough to stay in Top 100. (T_T)
Bad Rabbink spreading rumor. Gwahahaha.
whe Webnovel doesn't even care about something like this;
There are like more than 50 reviews from the same translator buffing the rating of the novel he is translating. You think they would care about less obvious ones if they don't even care about such a blatant abuse of the system? Atleast that guy seems to be doing it subtly, so i see no chance of webnovel taking action whatsoever...
CreamPuffDelights This is why i feel that RR is like a premium restaurant, while Webnovel is that dirty street food stand. Trying to compensate for the lack of care and quality with numbers...
