what did you rate it 5 out of five

cuz the rating system is trash, it averages out some stupid factors. What about quality of writing? Overall enjoyment? Comedy? That doesn't fit with story, translation, characters etc. As long as this isn't terrible enough for me to feel mental anguish if it gets picked, I'll give it a 5. If else, a 1 will suffice. Ratings don't mean much on this website anyways unless you're looking at the translation specifically.

at the bottom of your review you said 2.5/4

It's 2.5/5, not 2.5/4. Ignore the amount of stars I give it, read my message again, I've already explained why I just give 5 stars to novels that I can bear and 1 star to novels I can't bear. My actual evaluation of this novel is 2.5/5 not 5/5 as you can see at the end of my review.

bro your knowledge is shallow about books. I think you haven't read much of a book to know what kind of rating system is right or not. I haven't read this novel but based on your rating style I can tell that you don't know much of how webnovel or books works.

I'm not a fan of people who employ ad hominems but I am going to employ one right now. I'll address your points too but for now I can't resist. You're going after me as you think I "haven't read much of a book to know what kind of rating system is right or not", the irony is almost palpable because that barely makes any sense grammatically. You then state that you have yet to read this novel but based on my rating style you say that you can tell that I don't know much of how webnovel or books work. How is you not having read the book relevant to my review style and by extension my understanding of "how webnovel or books works (work*)"? That's completely irrelevant and logically rather incoherent. It's hilarious how you're trying to be condescending to me about third rate literature while barely being semi literate. It is true that the Webnovel rating system makes no sense. Averaging out the Translation Quality, the Stability of Updates, Story Development, Character Design and World Background is ridiculous. Why would the stability of updates and translation quality boost the score? A novel could upload 100 chapters a day of a very well translated novel but it doesn't matter if the novel itself is absolute garbage. Going by this logic, I would have to give this hypothetical novel a full 5 stars for the Translation Quality and the Stability of Updates and give everything else a 1 star rating. So what would the score of this god awful but well translated novel be you ask? A 2.6 out of 5 for a large amount of comprehensible garbage. How is that not stupid? You clamping about how I don't understand how this junk food literature works is as hilarious as it is ridiculous. I can't believe you're acting like a snob over these novels as if they actually have any greater literary value. Show this website to your English professor and he'll look at your with disgust. I admit to liking this but it is admittedly a guilty pleasure to me. You shouldn't be ashamed of liking this any more than you would a Big Mac. What you don't seem to understand is that as far as most people are concerned, there isn't a single real "author" on this website. Well there are a few like Gu Ren Zhen etc but even then their execution is rather amateurish but that's on purpose. The point of all of these novels is to appeal to a large amount of people even at the expense of dumbing everything down. Every author here is an "internet novelist" and trust me there's a big difference between them and what the world at large would consider to be great "authors". At the very least, you'd be slapped for comparing even JK Rowling to any of these webnovelists. In the world of internet novelists you can't pretend to have a greater understanding simply because all of the stuff on this site is the literary equivalent to deep fried ice cream. It's junk that both you and a third grader could equally enjoy and understand, it's nice and there's nothing "deep" or "shallow" about it. Personally this just makes me think that you've been reading too many cultivation novels.

as a spectator all i can say is DAYUM

Idiot

Well what can I say ? I can only point out the fact that someone wanted to rate a novel based on genre like comedy. Utter stupidity is one thing but being the frog in the well is another. Your comment is hilllarious. I agree this novel is average but your rating style based on a genre is just laughable. You are like 3rd grader trying to pass off as an adult. This site is not for you. Who try to flex his stupidity

"rating style based on a genre is just laughable"? What does that even mean? How is comedy in a novel that's meant to be funny not a factor? And referring to me as a "frog in the well" is an incredibly statement with a stunning lack of self awareness behind it. My logic behind my ratings are based solely on overall quality and enjoyment. As usual your grammar and punctuation is sub par and barely coherent. You made not one single point. All you said is: "hurr durr you are frog in well, comedy (even though it contributes to overall enjoyment) is not a valid factor, u are stupid laughable third grader flexing ur stupidity!!!11" Being called a third grader by some guy who doesn't know how to punctuate or spell any 6 letter or longer word correctly is quite a weird experience. You've given me not a single actual bit of criticism but instead all you done is further proved to me that you are as I've described, semi literate. Please don't use that GIF, if you were to actually use that gesture in real life, it'd be awkward as you'd be pointing at an empty cranium. I'm not going to engage with you any further it's unproductive and I'd honestly rather have a conversation with an infant. Although much like yourself infants aren't the brightest bunch, it's cute when they're spouting random sounds. However when someone of age like yourself does it? Not so much.

Sorry to break it to you but you just blabbered and threw some sixth graders enlightening words. Considering you can count past third. let me give it to you sixth comes after fourth and fifth and comedy is not an actual rating. Don't think just because you are a little kid no one's gonna argue with you. Only kids cartoon shows have comedy and the family guy animation. So if you search for it carefully you will find plenty of blockbuster movies without comedy. Plenty of famous movies are without comedy how will you rate them 1. I guess. Use your head before you talk unless you wanna prove to the world just how dumb you are. The end.

First about the story. I have also read some of the raws and i share several of your concerns about this novel but i am much more optimistic about it than you. Second, and my main goal of this comment, i am in awe of the criticism that you managed t get in response. I cannot say that i really understand (or agree with) your rating but from this to go and call it all kind of crazy labels, as if there was some universal and obligatory law for rating novels? Where and when did they came up with it? Worse given the fact that it was put here in webnovel, where it is nothing but the wilderness in terms of rating discipline? At best they are not even sharing low quality trolling. As you said, people should read the content of the review, if they care even a little bit, and just ignore the rating if they don't understand it. Or maybe ask relevant questions to try to comprehend the rating, if it is so important to them? Personally i am not against arguing the foundation of a rating system but that is falling in a rabbit hole. And if people do that please bring in more of what we sometime call intelligence. If people don't respect the other person in the conversation, they could at least try to respect "good" trolling art. They only give a bad rep to "sincere" trolls all over the world. And since i am mentioning trolls and hypothetic universal laws, let me share the most fundamental law of the internet: "don't feed the trolls".

Yeah 100% agree with your second point, as per your advice, I've decided to stop responding to them, it's beneath me and unproductive. I do disagree with you about one thing though. They aren't trolls, trolls are purposefully provocative to be funny either to themselves or whoever's watching. These fellows on the other hand are just some imbecilic lads with a stunning lack of self awareness, something I did not see coming when I'd first responded to one of them. If I'd known from the start, I wouldn't have even made a response in the first place. As for the basis for my review scores in my actual reviews (the 2.5 in this case), that's based entirely on my subjective opinion of the chapters I've read and don't reflect my opinions about the future potential of the novel. It's extremely simple. When coming up with a score all I really take into account is enjoyability (which as you'd expect depends on translation quality, quality of writing, novelty, story, characters, depth, ambitiousness, general enjoyment etc) and come up with a number that I think does my experience with the novel justice. Unlike Webnovel though I don't assign a bunch of unweighted numbers to the factors that contribute to enjoyability and average them out. Instead I cut out the middleman and jump straight to evaluating enjoyability to get a score that actually makes sense and accurately reflects my opinion of the novel. Hope this comment helps you make more sense of my review!

The explanation of your score system makes much more sense now. It is, in my opinion, at least better than trying to use some artificial pseudo scientific one. Reviews and scores are and will always be a subjective and personal experience. As a comparison my own system used in webnovel rating is also very simple and relative to my own enjoyment. 1: hate, 2: dislike, 3: somewhat readable, 4: like, 5: favorite. And all that independent of the so called qualities that i, myself, may attribute to the story. And i also reserve the right to have a completely different opinion at any time in the future. Why be limited by pretending to have some kind of ultimate true system or whatever? Am i to eat only the food that an artificial rating mandates me? Even if i was the creator of such "intelligent" system? As for the trolls issue, we must continue to disagree on it. But that is unimportant.

At least you have given up on genre category for rating purpose

huh?? only cartoons have comedy?? excuse me?? Are you kidding me right now kiddo?? i think you're the one who needs to read more. Right now you're just defending your pathetic pride because you got toasted

learn to take a loss

but it's true webnovel has the worst comedy. Also I have my reasons for saying it. As the only thing I even consider funny and full of comedy is family guy and some tv shows.

I don't care about the arguments you have with that other guy, but don't you dare involve comedy, you just insulted all the people who loves that genre, i think you just didn't watch a good comedy

Rhongomynaid, no I'm not talking about you, in my comment you're the other guy, i just got angry at someone insulting my favorite genre, and saying that only kids cartoon has it
