Good and Bad Things about new Webnovel's Readers (My Experience)

[RaizarP]

As stated in the title, I will give you what changed in SH after new readers from Webnovel arrived.

The good thing is, a lot of novels got a new review from the new readers from Webnovel. I saw some novels got a lot of reviews in just 2 days.

The bad thing is, the review often... harsh? toxic? not all, but some didn't even make senses. Be prepared for that.

So nothing changed?

More reviews, but... not honest review? They reviewed the author, not the novel. Just wait then you will find why I said that the reviews are toxic and harsh

Can't wait for the Webnovel's Young Master Readers to review @K5Rakitan's novel.
She always wanted more *1 reviews.

Reviews here are manually approved iirc. If it's malicious then it will very likely be rejected.

Yes, maybe? In that case, I think Tony will need help to reduce some headache

In what way do they not make sense?

Man, the Webnovel community hasn't changed a bit. Still the same bunch of shit posting toxic goblins as before.

 

[Aaqil]

If I should give an example, then this

Ha, I do hope none of that appears here,

The way Webnovel's reviews are seen, plus their userbase, makes it very tempting to post nonsense,
I don't believe people will try that here, especially when you can't comment on them,

I got tricked.

[Pujimaki]

I'm ready to face every shit they have, even if it's nasty and stinking. Joke aside, I'm waiting what will happen, maybe Webnovel will revoked their decision and return it to normal, and the new migrated readers will leave stanks before they return to Webnovel.

You can also delete things(reviews, comments) in webnovel. At least you could do it before. That's why a majority of stories there have a 4.4+ rating. A lot of WN authors delete every little bit of criticism and almost every review with a rating below 4.

Which I never understood why that was a thing.

I know that feeling and a single I'd can spam multiple reviews . one review a day for one book so some authors have around 150 + fake reviews from the same I'd.

Thin skin and aggregator sites. The possibility of a random reader who isn't into web novels clicking on a random novel from WN at an aggregator site is higher when the said novel has a decent rating(4+). It doesn't matter how much SH authors say that ratings don't matter. Ratings matter the most for an average reader.

ginestly was too busy reading smut to notice this happening. Can I jave a qrd?

Completely true in my case honestly, but even then, I occasionally check if the story is actually worth the time or not if the Synopsis is even half-decent, which was an arduous task in itself I might say.

Edit: Huh, so apparently I only made this account recently. Guess the account I thought I had was for another web.
