  • In Am I the only one who thinks this?

    Clowniac I agree with what you're saying but calling my tastes high-brow is a bit of an overstatement, I understand there are different genres and reading preferences and I understand inexperienced authors are on this site.

    What I can't comprehend is why people praise these novels as works of a literature God (exaggerating here) when they're porn with a plot at the most, I don't have a problem with these types of novels but I don't want to have to wade through gallons of this type of writing while looking for a few amazing novels that aren't full of smut to the point that they should have an age restriction because every couple of chapters has a sex scene. You can't really call people that don't like this stuff high-brow because they actually want to find something to read with substance that actually fits within the genres they want to read (and I'm mainly talking about romance because I'm pretty sure that genre has been ruined on this site by these types of novels).

      • In Am I the only one who thinks this?

        Smut in novels and harems rarely work. The amount of rubbish on this site like most of the top novels, and about 70-80% of the novels on here make me question my existence and the existence of everyone who uses this site because surely it's impossible to literally think with your reproductive organ. Apparently this is a talent that most people on this site have or they just have a couple of brain cells, just enough to spam reviews with exp, who they want in a harem, type a bunch of worthless garbage which can in no way be called a review, spam 1 or 5 star reviews... etc. etc.

        The novels themselves are numerous but lack almost any quality, I was fine with almost every novel I read online until I came across this site; it has some really good ideas but my god are they ruined by the addition of "romance" and I use the quotation marks because that ain't romance, that is the sexual desires and fantasies of readers and "authors" alike. If it was romance, a pairing or even a polygamous relationship which was done well then the novels would be amazing.
        Those are my thoughts, feel free to hate, oppose or even argue in a civil fashion but they ain't going to chance about my opinion of this site.

          This site isn't free, at the bare minimum it has ads like most websites do, that means that people aren't reading for free since the site is getting money for them reading. Calling people garbage for wanting free things is idiotic, I'm not saying that I want everything on this site for free I'm saying that I don't want to be forced to pay for everything. There a restriction on the amount of ads you can watch, webnovel is still earning money from the ads and would still earn money if people watched more to read more. But they restrict the amount you can watch and the amount you can gain because they want more money on top.

          Honestly the only reason this site is thriving and the only reason people still use it is because they've built a monopoly on the majority of the online light novels, new novels and other reading materials that are online. It affects writers/translators positively (I think) because they can get money for writing/translating rather than pretty much working for free or not much, but compared to what light novels in particular used to be where people were paid less for translating but novels weren't gathered up on a site like this one it's become quite bad for online users who don't have money to throw at things like extra chapters or premium novels.

              Slewis There's a difference between being money hungry and making money out of necessity, they've changed it to the new system to reduce the amount of chapters people are able to read and if they want to read more than three chapters a day they have to pay for it. Ads are okay, allowing the purchase of extra reading privileges is also okay, but limiting the amount people can read even further is low. It's capitalistic and greedy to the point where they keep changing the system only to ensure they can wring the most money out of users while not giving a crap about the people who use the site.
