Which is better Scribble Hub or webnovel?

[Akasora]

Something that is actually taken seriously. Something really about the story, that it have something interesting to tell, than wish-fulfillment self-inserts or indulging in their fetish and other such stuff.

You should check Royalroad then,I think about 80% of stories on WB and SH are pretty much wish-fulfillment and indulging in their fetish TBH tho most of the stories on these website are the same, WB have more Chinese stuffs, SH have more Hentai stuffs and RR have more older stuffs because it is a older website. Also check Spacebattle, SufficientVelocity and QuestionableQuesting(this one is mostly porn tho) they have some really good stories too but mostly Worm fanfics, I think author of "there is no epic loot here only puns" is pretty active over there. One thing I like about SB,SB and QQ is they're a forum so you can communicate with authors and ask/criticize more and mods are pretty active so it is civil most of the time. Also you should check out Worm web serials because in my opinion it is a pretty good web novel.

Ok, you people tell that you get nice reviews on WN and very bad and hate reviews here and you tell them fake. See the thing is no one here is just wanting to waste time on your story if he didn't like it, many genuine readers post their sincere reviews about it but mostly are who view your story in good light. Those who don't like your may leave the story without even mentioning why didn't they like your stories ..... as for haters you say you delete them from WN and if the same thing happens for reviews like "Good Good Good Good ....." you don't say anything about these .... nor delete them ... while everyone know they are just for the sake of xp.... and for those haters many reader will ignore those as no one is an idiot to believe that single line sentence or repetitive words reviews.You only take in those good "fake" reviews without a hitch and delete those so called haters reviews. Since you can't do the same here ... that is no ones fault. I have seen those hate reviews on many novels here and many authors don't care about them nor the readers if they like the story, people still read those who like them and post their sincere reviews. WN might be good but we can't decide to read any novel on it by those kind of reviews. Also, on WN we can't read the whole novel because of those fast card we have to wait everyday or buy them, but no one is going to buy like that for every novel we see because the authors locks those chapter before we could determine whether we will continue or not. If we suppose spend money to buy those fast card and then we decide to drop the novel due not liking as we go further down the road and there we lose both money and time.

No one is forced to pay to read or read anything for free. In WN there is a difference between contracted and free novels. You can say whatever it is, but I started writing recently and on WN and I get 3-4 star reviews. I know that my novel is not good but I tried hard to create the story and improve my grammar. Then people come to me on this site and give me 1 star just because they don't like something specific. How is that fair to me? You here are a toxic community if you think your system is not bad and does not help new authors like me while WN is much more welcoming.

I'm a new writer and here I posted my first story. I have 3 one star ratings, why they did it? I have no idea, probably the rape, or the slaughter, who knows. But I don't focus on the negative, I appreciate all the ratings and love my 10+ five star ratings.

Did I ever thought it was unfair, or that they're toxic people who try to ruin me? Not at all. They have the right to express themselves, to hate the story and give it a 1 star rating; I didn't came here to be welcomed, complimented, and told I'm a great author with potential. I published to become a writer, to receive good and bad criticism, and the last thing I would want is to be led to think that I'm some kind of genius, whose first story doesn't have any low ratings, those 1 star ratings help me remember there's room to improve, that this is the start of the journey.

You need more resilience, a one star rating shouldn't let you to believe people on this site are toxic. The guy spamming you with hate is a valid reason.

Just like you said about the rape, what happens to me is similar. But I put the gore warning, anti-hero tag, and evil mc tag. Still, people complain about the MC torturing and killing. How is this not toxic? Since the beginning my story is a clear big harem but people complain about the number of girls. How is that criticism? I can't say that the whole community here is toxic but my readers (especially what give 1 star because of the things I mentioned) but most are terrible. I do not want to be praised but not to be criticized for something that I am not wrong with and are just characteristics of my story because it is unfair. This is my experience with readers here and now I have a new bad experience with the forum because you think people judging a story because it is not their cup of tea with low rating is right. Despite having some good readers, the best thing for me is to stop posting here and continue with the decent WN community.

Is totally fine if you want to do that, but why don't you just ignore them?

I mean, from what you just posted I can only imagine those readers as idiots, why take them seriously? Someone wasting their time to read something they don't like, complaining about something they should have avoided in the first place; of course that assuming they were the same person writing that each time, because if they're different people complaining each chapter, then they're telling you they didn't expect the story to turn out like that and they're dropping it, which is something to be glad because they aren't the target audience.

On a side note, it would have helped you more, if you elaborated on your story more from the beginning, here on the forum. Also, judging a story that isn't for you with low rating, is normal (is human nature); I don't do it though.

Do you think I'm not ignoring them? Of course, in the same way that readers can say whatever they want, so can I and sometimes I reply some idiots. But then someone created this topic about WN. Everyone here seems to hate WN for a variety of reasons but while there I have a friendly community, a fair and helpful staff. here I only have toxicity. I just wanted to leave my vote for WN and explain why I did it. So other people like you tell me this is normal so I'm here wasting my time trying to explain how good my experience is with WN and not here. Why am I doing this? Do not know. I should be writing for readers who want to read my story (WN readers).

I understand, though I think something like that is normal, I don't think your disappointment or anger about that is wrong. I should be writing too, so let's drop the topic. Good luck on Webnovel.

This always happens though, that is low ratings, even in Webnovel. Webnovel does provides you the ability to remove them while SH don't.

I look at your story and see this criticism you said . . . I didn't find them actually. The reviews you received are all 5 stars.

Sure, there are 1 and 2 star ratings, but those doesn't provide details. It is not really sure if they give you one star because of those things you said or something else entirely. It just mean they don't like your story but gives no indication to the reason why.

I read some of the comments but they are mostly positive. Those that aren't doesn't talk about the sex or gore and things you said. There is this one that says don't add too many women but it is the same person who give you a 5 star review.

I don't really see this thing you are talking about. Did you somehow delete them? You lost your evidence!

Well, I read those comments. Do you want me to look for you? Do you want what exactly? Prove that this site is better than WN? I just talked about my experience, I don't care if you find my point valid or not. But the fact that you guys find normal hater/toxicity only reflects the reality of this community.

I don't think this site is better than Webnovel. I actually think Webnovel is better.

And I actually finally encountered one but the author of the comment edited it.

Still, most have been positive so far and the toxic so far is just a single one among dozens. It is like you are judging the whole community because of the actions of the few.

How is it to judge the whole community? I am making it clear that it is my experience. I told in several comments that maybe it is not so with everyone but with me it was this toxic feedback that I am receiving. Even here in this forum people come to tell me that these things are normal. I don't remember all the comments but I saw that most of them were deleted. There are one in chapter 29, the guy said a lot of shit to me. He directed his hate at me and insulted me several times. When I replied he simply edited the comment. This is my experience here. If other people have good experiences it has nothing to do with me.

Here. You said this about the community.

Just one. And you go shit about it.

Even here in this forum people come to tell me that these things are normal.

This is true. It happens here and in Webnovel. Maybe you just got very lucky in Webnovel. I going to look at that too. But it does happen in Webnovel if you look around.

I don't remember all the comments but I saw that most of them were deleted.

You deleted them? Isn't that, kinda good? I mean, this why you like Webnovel right?

There are one in chapter 29, the guy said a lot of shit to me. He directed his hate at me and insulted me several times. When I replied he simply edited the comment. This is my experience here. If other people have good experiences it has nothing to do with me.

Just a single one.

And this isn't unique to SH. This happens in Webnovel too. I mean, I did look a bit at Webnovel and there you are arguing with a reader because they are saying bullshit about your story.

 

[Akasora]

I think by design WN is better for authors but bad for readers, I do understand and tolerate it because they're doing business unlike SH which is pretty much passion project. Only huge problem for me with WN is allowing authors to delete reviews and rating because it should never happened.
There should be mods taking care of low content 5*reviews like "xpxpxpxpxp" or "gooood" or toxic 1* reviews like *fukkkkk harem* or *I hate you* but authors never should have authority over reviews and ratings. They will only delete 1-2* reviews even if the reviews are valid and kept 4-5* reviews without content and reason. There are tons of evidence they deleted totally vaild and in-depth reviews just because of low rating.

You're asking the dedicated userbase of Scribblehub over rather or not they like they prefer their main site over the competitor... Isn't the result fairly obvious?

There many Bot in Wn.

This poll question is cursed. This thread is cursed. Why must you make the votes publicly visible!

I like SH ... until I don't anymore. My one and only desire is to write my story ... and be the most powerful villainess in the forums. Ohohoho.

Just as @Ral and @Moctemma said you just have to ignore them and don't just crticize the whole SH community readers about it. I have also read novel's where people curse, hate and insult the authors and when these things happened the author asked us readers on discord who follow his story whether this was the case and how should he correct those mistake. If those comments are genuine, we also tell him what we felt about the story and where the mistake lies. So if you can't handle some hate there is no one to blame it for.
