I've started posting my webnovel to ScribbleHub after a user here recommended it as a friendly platform to post my work. I uploaded my backlog in one go to catch this site up with my other platforms and within minutes it got a few 1-star ratings, presumably by people who disliked how I cluttered up the latest updates section. I see their point and I wouldn't have uploaded so many if I'd know the latest updates section doesn't work as it does on RoyalRoad.
I want to offset this by doing a few honest review swaps so the rating reflects people's opinions of the story. Even if the rated average remains the same, I'd feel better knowing the score is an honest reflection of the story's contents.
So I have two questions:
1) Are review swap requests allowed in this forum?
2) If yes, what are the rules regarding review swaps? For example, on Royal Road you're not supposed to write an advanced review unless you've read at least 10k words and the reviews have to be honest (so no asking for 5 star reviews).
