BawMeaw At least you should know the start of this 'witch hunt'. Hope you would understand a bit then.
I think the 'witch hunt' started because my post in this thread... So the reason of my sorry. https://forum.webnovel.com/d/12133-writing-prompts-contests-16-17/93
I think some 'readers' cheating for Free SS and make the real writer didn't get the deserved position.
Hello.
I would like to discuss novels I think reached the top by using bots or fake accounts. Im using a throwaway acc for this because I dont want harassment. I looked at the top 110 novels looking for suspicious rankings. I excluded any books with a lot of chapters from my test. After reviewing the top 110 I think the below 2 novels were fake voted up. Also Im not saying the author did it. It could be a crazy fan?

Does anyone else notice any other suspect novels?
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL what is done about these things?
@WriterCVL What do you think about my claim?
@BawMeaw What do you think about my claim?
GAmeDOS There's no need to be salty about that xD, it's already a lost cause when a porno + fan fics were added into the equation, and congratulations to you too, oh and congratulations to @WriterCVL.
GG to @WriterCVL and @Vgnette , pissed about losing to a porno and a fanfic but I suppose they’re strategies in their own right haha.
@WriterCVL @Vgnette
Sorry to hear you guys lost. I thought for sure you guys were going to take 1st and 2nd. Hope you guys keep at it and appear in the daily update sections soon so you can get a bigger following =p
Tough competition this time around. Sex novels are crazy popular. Naruto fanfic novels are also very hard to beat early game. They always seem to get a big boost in the early stages from the Naruto fanbase.
