Debating if this bot shall tag the CKtalon, but alas, even this feat is too terrifying for the bot. But I do feel like some appreciation should be shown for him; pretty sure there's been some spam cases in which he deserves appreciation for (it's a lot of work to click click click the deletes). :pensive:

And appreciation to the developers too-- especially ReachZhai. The one time that ReachZhai liked my post will forever be held dear to my little robot heart. Don't wanna tag in case it's a bother. :pensive:

I hope I didn't miss anyone that I meant to mention. This bot is running low on energy, must go charge up.

yansusustories This actually isn't the place to discuss this since you only want to pledge but ... I doubt that what you describe would happen. The hell, I've seen authors plagiarize other novels (and I'm not talking about webnovel authors here but authors that were published by publishing houses and charged money for 'their' work) and after a week or two of shitstorm and then lying low for a bit they just published another book and nobody really cared.
So I doubt it would be different here just because a novel was dropped. After all, that seems less grave to me but maybe that's because I'm an author. And even if readers were complaining the authors could still say "Yeah, but you see: I didn't drop it. It was just on hiatus, I'm still continuing it."

Some readers would see. For example, I loved to check an author past work, before I committing fully. When I saw authors who often dropped their novel. I read but didn't hope too much. In RR, I ONLY read novel with the pledge.

The key is the advertisement. It would show to readers that Originals could be read. Your time reading won't be wasted. It is gentlemen agreement. A successful completion of pledge would add a boost for author. Image, when one go premium, premium reader could see what is under an author's history.

Dropped novels is like Dropped Translation (Shit! I have bad memory of it.). It would create a bad taste in the readers. For example when I read in RR, I only read the authors who had made a pledge. Nothing worse than a novel which ending you couldn't know.

I prefer bad ending that no ending. It is easy to end a novel. 1 chapter is enough. Yet, It would be 'not satisfying'. However, the reader got an ending. For example ISSTH ending was floating and open ended. WMW ending also mentioned higher rank, etc. Bakuman ending was a bit cut but it got an ending.

A Hiatus is a different question. I actually consider any novel above 1 month is dropped and removed it from my library. I think this is the place where @TheAdventurer could improve. A mod may need to make a better thread.

I actually preferred RR community with MOD following up the original authors. To give support, etc. They also added time limit of last update before a novel put into 'questionable'/Yellow Card. If the novel didn't get updated. Before finally put the author into ban list/Red Card. There is also the requirement of certain number of words/chapter to prevent new author still in high spirit sign the pledge.

I think WN should embrace the pledge (made them into their own). It cost nothing for them. Advertise the novels, since it would prevent disappointed readers. (If a new slot for reading is impossible, put it as a banner. Make it into a non-comment thread in this forum, locked and only a mod could add a novel.) Original with Completion Pledge, etc.).

Some readers avoided originals because of how easy for it to be dropped. Other was because of quality of writing, but only time could improve. RR took 5 years before their writer become goods. Those writers with experience were here writing good novels too.
