    On a serious note, I want to collaspe as much detail as possible on my smartphone, because scroll down to the release link or comment can be annoying when your browser decide to work as hard as a slug.

    What about blacklisting certain tags? Would that be implemented someday?

    This is a 'novel' idea.

    In this case, the tags spoken about are the ones added by users. These tags are typically overdone by many people for what ever reason. For example, some Xianxia novels have Three different tags to elaborate a smart lead. " Cunning Lead " , "Smart Lead" and there was a third. Don't recall it.

    Point is, when users are involved in the tags, they might spoil things that aren't necessary to be revealed. " Summoned Minion " or " Minions" is enough to emphasize it is a character dealing with familiars/minions... You don't need to go another step forward and reveal WHAT KIND of minion... Why does that matter, really? Unnecessary tag information.

    So being able to hide it, to avoid potential spoilers is a justified reason. Because some people tag for the most silliest things. Tags are to give a clue about content. Not emphasize the result of it. Enlightening someone about what kind of familiar/minion it is? It is kind of a Result rather than Clue.


    EDIT; Taking http://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-desolate-era/ as an example.

    " Death of Loves ones ", "Genius Male Lead", "Smart Male Lead", "Talented Male Lead"

    First is a spoiler, 2-4 is three tags indicating the same thing.

    I swear to God, if you hide the NTR tags I will find you and it won't be pretty.

    Does this mean we can now have a "True Harem" tag? Because there exists a distinction between Harem (ratio of males to females - or vice versa - is heavily tipped towards one side) and True Harem (a male or female protagonist gets together with all of his/her romantic interests simultaneously).

    Too late for me, I pretty much noe what tags are present in nearly all my preferred novels.
    Should be useful for the future I guess

    If you see a tag in a novel and the tag does not fit, you can just remove it yourself.

    If you think the act was done by a troll, you can actually try reporting it, people have been perma banned before for messing with NU, joking around on NUF is fine, but NU is the serious part, so mods are a lot harsher over there.
