  • @ Mute While I do not agree with a chunk of your comments, your general view is not wrong - these practices are blatant dopamine pumps that are making readers frustrated en masse at the same time.
    It doesn't matter whether a novel is good or bad. I can put up with good trial novels not being chosen as well. No big deal. But the problem is, even if a novel gets chosen, no matter its quality, THEY WILL DROP IT SOONER OR LATER due to drop in popularity. I've used to follow a couple of novels on daily basis. Some get dropped at 200-300 chapters, others at 400, 600 and 700.. out all of them they didn't drop just a single novel - Legendary Mechanic (and if not its mob popularity it'd have been long dropped too - this is sad).

    Once a novel dropped, forever dropped and all that is left is mtl.

    This "rant" or however you call it comes from a frustrated seasoned reader. I have touched whopping 1008 novels so far and finished perhaps 5.

    I have also stopped visiting Qidian site for almost a year. I know I'll never be able to follow the adventures of my favourite characters for long so why bother.

    I have also found new sources for reading and discovering that give me a long-lasting happiness and even better feeling than reading best of best chinese novels.
    It's lke in the chinese novel plot: if your water source is monopolized and oppressed, you can fight for it if you're braindead MC but you don't really need to if you're smart. The solution is easy: Just find another and don't look back. I will not miss chinese novels. Good luck being oppressed by Qidian. All you will be able to do is getting a beating. Have fun guys

  • Another good novel that gets dropped by qidian, and will likely never see the light again.

    Thriller Paradise?
    Trafford's Trading Club?
    Dreadful Radio Game?
    Dark King?
    Martial God Space?
    Legend of the Great Saint?
    And many many more that are at the back of my head.

    There are also many trial novels that they never choose for voting pool because they're just too good so how would people read other subpar works:

    I have a bunch of players on Earth?
    Plague Doctor?
    Custom Made Demon King?
    The World of Deities?
    Midnight Bookstore?
    Almighty Video Game Designer?
    Calamity of Tomorrow?

    The only fairly good trial novels they decided to translate are Mages are too OP and I am the God of Games. That's it...

    • I think IM gonna drop out of that list, it's one of these very tasty fastfood novels, you visited that place for 3 tasty chicken burgers daily but now you can only get a small burger and it's not even on time like it used to be. Freeloaders like me aren't going to vote for something they can't read, right... Me visiting and eating at Reverend Insanity and Wizard World now :D

      Spirit stones and premium chapters have nothing to do with this ranking list for now (unless the rankings will be decided on SS spent on them)

      • I have no friends though

        My only friend for 88 SS was TOR browser
