I’m pretty sure it is only 1k characters. I literally tried to go back and leave comments/reviews/messages but couldn’t. The reason I haven’t left any more reviews is because of work and the spare time I do have if focused on this forum. I went back to some fan-fiction to leave a review and...

It’s really not rigid, if you do it to any level that could be considered average then you get half a star. Do everything averagely you get 2.5 stars, the literal average. You seem to be the cynic here. Why are assuming a few mistakes is 0 stars? To get .0 in grammar you would have to be...

That’s parts of this entire discussion. How can people give reviews, message authors, or leave comments when they get blocked so quickly? Literally had someone block me in the time it took take a piss.

People are drastically over playing how much I read. I read maybe 300 chapters total, over the course of 10-12 days.

Before I write the rest of the reply I want to say that you may have not read some parts of my comments. I answered the question first reply after you asked. The reason I haven’t given reviews is because the word count is small, like 1k characters small. That becomes a problem when you need...

If they were angry then they could have messaged me like someone else has. When did I whine about anything? I brought up something I noticed, that was it. How can I explain the low ratings when they blocked me within 30 minutes? I brought this entire thing up because 4 times (7 times now) I’ve...

I don’t think I’m intentionally being a dick. I mean everything I say as neutrally as possible. As far as me not giving feed back? I already do that for a living and would much rather spare that effort for helping the people who work for me or that I manage. I’ve tried to give helpful reviews a...

Kind of why I brought it up. Nearly everything on the top 100 list is really 3 or 2 stars. Some of them are actually good but what can you do when writers with hundreds of followers tell people to rate the shit they posted 3 chapters of. Literally saw something get one chapter uploaded and 2...

True, but in the time it takes for it to be banned you may as well give your thoughts on it. I think I only brought up something relating to intelligence once, when I said I had a degree. Even that was only because my dictation app picked up something I said offhandedly. And the amount of time...

Royal Road? They have the most severe problem of this that I’ve noticed. Well, it’s really the “Traded Ratings” that are the problem. Not too long ago there was like a dozen people who took over the “Rising Stars” page. To be fair, half of them were decent writers but not enough to be in the top...

What nastiness? I’m pretty sure half of what I rated as 1 star are translations. Most of the rest are fanfictions, which I do judge harsher than originals. Solely because there is a direct comparison for the characters, setting, and I guess the plot. Sorry, but if none of it is like in the...

First time I’ve seen someone not be toxic about giving low ratings.

I haven’t found a finished story that I liked. If I find one I’ll probably make a “Favorites” tab. Dude, unfounded personal attacks on a random person from the internet says more about your own situation than it does what you’re commenting on. You could just read the 5-10 chapters and then...

I am reading stuff, and then rating based on Plot, Characters, Setting, Grammar, and Writing style. If they do one of them to an ok level (ex: Grammar being around the level required for passing required schooling) then I do half a star. If they do it to a “good” level (ex: Grammar varies...

The main issue with people reading and then not rating is that you have to have it in a reading list, something people won’t bother doing if they won’t read it again. Easily fixed by requiring a certain number of uploads read rather than needing it on a list.
