Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I'm interested in the subject and there may be new opinions.
How do you rate a story you read?
I used to judge every aspect of a story, 5 stars was something I considered perfect, or so close to perfect it didn't mater and I only gave one 5 star.
One star was absolute crap in every aspect, from grammar to Plot, it was something a monkey could have written.
Two was bellow average, three was above average and four was something very good.
For a little over a year now I have changed the way I rate.
Most of the sites I use don't have a more professional way to review things, meaning it's full of trolls giving a 1 and people who liked it, even if objectively it's very bad, and rated it a five.
My own way of rating wasn't helping people chose what to read and was actually damaging stories I'd really recommend because I didn't give it a five star.
Bow I rate like this:
One star is still something I consider unreadable, not subjectively but objectively.
Anything I'd recommend as good enough gets a five star, to incentive the author, conter the trolls and indicate it's incredibly good.
Most things I enjoyed but dropped because of something get a four, to indicate it's good but I had to drop because of something I though was critical, I also leave a written review explaining why I took a star off.
Anything I drop just because it isn't to my taste doesn't get rated.
How do you guys do it?
