It was a wild thread, wasn't it?

Aren't the most western harem novel like this? At least, as long as there is a male main character, it is focused on his relationship with the girls / women, and all women are primarily interested in him (though some are rarely interested in each other, it is not the main focus on the book)...

The reason this has been requested in the past on the Royal Road was simple: It would allow the writers to challenge the review with the moderators. You couldn't challenge the anonymous ratings. There was no way to report them. You knew they were there, but they were anonymous. If there...

Cat for the *that site* discussion

You, as the writer, don't want the story being high-rated. You want your story being found. And supposedly liked by someone. Not liked as a thumb up, liked as in there are readers who enjoy the story. The necessity to have a good rating adds the unnecessary complexity to the simple goal...

That's the core of the problem.

I thought you could review the products you brought on Amazon, not through other vendors. They could and they do keep track of your purchases. This is largely irrelevant, you could add any story on the reading list. Not necessarily. The negative reviewers they hate would have less power to...

This is because you could review only the games you have purchased. Even on Amazon, you could review the products you purchased. However, you could start reading any story on the Scribble Hub anytime you wish. I didn't even encounter stubbed stories, not to mention there isn't the ranking...

Illegal in Japan. You couldn't carry the long scissors. You couldn't challenge people to duels. I believe you couldn't be mean to people on the Internet either. ...and you certainly can't challenge people on the Internet to the duel using scissors.

The reason I suggested the Steam-like system: One account, one like (or dislike), one opinion. It doesn't necessarily solve the issue with the unsolicited criticism* but there is no additional weight to it. People still could say mean things to you on the Internet, but they said mean things...

Overlord isn't one with the truck.

Then I suppose it is impartial. Another reason for considering the less weightened system, though as I said I doubted it would be possible. After all, this isn't suggestion thread, it's discussion thread! Like that one...

There are ads, but I doubt they cover all the expenses.... The "no boobs on cover" rule was, I think, added when the ads were added. Advertising companies are very sensitive and have double standards (because their ads have boobs)

Realistically, yes, he will keep the rating system. Even if he agreed with me one hundred percent, changing it on the site like this would be a logistical nightmare: too expensive, an enormous investment for the hobbyist site, without any substantial returns. The Scribble Hub runs on...

You received hundreds, if not thousands, suggestions on how to improve your rating system, and you ignored every single one of them, or dismissed them outright. I made some of those suggestions, and you rejected them too. I, among others, suggested that the hobbyist writers uninterested in...

There is the direct correlation between this post and cats, yes, but it isn't this... The 5-star system isn't built to benefit people, i.e. users, consumers. It is built to benefit the sellers, i.e. shops and manufacturers. However, the "manufacturer" of the story, the writer, has no control...

If there is any visible scale (as well as ranking) involved, all actions would be motivated by the action to influence the scale in permanent fashion. You rate story 0.5 not because it is bad, but because it would shift the scale in the way you want it. Same applies with rank. Ranking as...

The Amazon for example, allows you only to rate the products you supposedly purchased, and more importantly, doesn't have the anonymous reviews. You need to specify what you liked or disliked about the product in words. Of course, you need also active moderation as you get a reviews like "my...

The 5-star rating system is the dishonest and manipulative marketing tool masquerading as the method of gathering the customer feedback, designed to create the perceived (and often false) impression of the added value for the money spent. A customer aiming for the lower price is easily swayed...

By creating the account on the Scribble Hub, you agree to their terms of service. Part of those is the liability waiver for any financial and other damages for exactly this kind of situation. It's very explicit in saying that they are not directly responsible for damages caused by the content...
