I have seen a trend recently of the quality of translation of the novels being picked up on a steady decline. The new novel "My Sister Exposed My Identity As A Villainous Godfather" the story is actually good, a rarely good novel that I don't lose braincells reading. Well at least that's what I would say if it weren't for this god awful translation. Good stories are already hard to come by but when they do it's marred with this mtl quality translation. It's not a good look for Webnovel. I do hope Webnovel does better in hiring their translators. Right now the only two translation I religiously follow in this site are "Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration" and "Fantasy Simulator". This could have been another one but too bad it's ruined now.

SorcererCat Wow my review contained very similar criticism. Look Im down for harem, but you don't have to have every girl in the story have a relationship with him. The story after 200 just devolved from action packed dungeon crawler to going inside the pants of one girl to the next, basically a gotta catch 'em all dating sim.
For author's being able to delete reviews they don't like just confounds me. This should never be the case, there is a like system in place to judge the reliability of the review. If the author's have that much power over the reviews there's no trust left in the site's reviews. What would be the purpose of the reviews anyway? I want to read both the good and the bads reviews, and then make a decision on whether to read the novel.
Background: I reviewed this novel called "Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos" with a 2.5 star, which for me was an okay novel. You would read it if you had nothing better to do. I stated how the story was good at first but severely dropped in quality after 200. Well apparently the author was so offended by this review that he deleted it. Makes me wonder what happens to all the 1 stars and 2 stars then.
I’m trying to switch to landscape mode on my iPad. Can’t seem to find that option in the app
Add function to exclude certain genres from everywhere. I won't read shoujo novels but wherever I look it's cluttered with shoujo novels. It just takes more searching than necessary as this site is now mostly shoujo novels.
- In MEMORIZE
I was browsing through NU looking for something similar to Second coming of Avarice when I found out the author had another novel to his name, that's MEMORIZE. I haven't yet started reading it but I have really high expectation since it's by the same author. There's one thing that struck me as weird if it was by the same author how come it's not popular, I found my answer from the top review in NU. It stated how this novel was constantly being picked up and dropped by different translation group, which being one of the causes it couldn't reach the same height in popularity as Second coming of Avarice. I request a good translation group to pick this novel up and give it the quality translation it deserves and considering the popularity of SCA, I'm sure you guys will get a lot of readers.
This novel is one of the best and most underrated novel there is. I can't believe how it's not number 1 in NU ranking. I'm addicted to this novel and really am not satisfied with the current release rate. I don't care if this novel is premium as long as you guys pick it up, and release at least 1 chapter everyday I'll fork everything I have.
