    I don't see why not. The novel could still have legitimate merit despite it's lack of completion, and we may lament what might have been

    Is there any chance for you people to read my stories?

    And to not just promote myself shamelessly, how about I was reincarnated as Magic Academy. It has very weak moments, but if we pretended that nothing after 2nd volume was ever written, it would probably be best western webnovel fiction.

    Edit: why did I place 'shameless' in front of 'stories'?

    I'm all for this. It really irks me when I see people filtering out all Western web-novels, thinking that they're all just the same wish fulfilling stuff that plagues most of Royalroadl, especially when you see that they have stuff like Generic Xuanhuan No.4013 and Unoriginal JP Reincarnation No.341 in their reading lists (although I do know that everyone has differing opinions.) Wonderful idea, not sure if I can partake in this project, might come on once in a while to discuss on here.

    But then we are encouraging reading western novels so wouldn't a dropped novel discourage people from reading it and make them have a bad opinion about the tenacity of these writers...

    If the members want to read it, I don't see why not. Though discussion will include criticism and opinions. They will not necessarily be filtered.
    Discussion is also a desired goal, but encouraging reading is more than a sufficient goal, so welcome aboard

    I think this is a great idea! I don't have that much time for reading right now, but I really appreciate that you're doing something like this @Arcturus!

    Has @Tony seen this?

    Any and all webnovels originally written in the English language. We will avoid published non-free novels for reasons I mentioned above. The novels will be free
    Ah I guess I should change the title to say NUF. The forum is not limited to mere discussion of asian translated novels as can be easily seen from looking at general chat

    Nope, none.
    Yes, but it is essentially a forum of readers, there should be no problem in a group of people that are willing to discuss western novels aside from the asian translated ones.

    We also have a group of writers here anyway... *shrugs*

    What does one do in a bookclub?
    As I'm an avid reader of western web novels you can sign me up!

    Also, a full month to read Worm? A week for the slow reader, two or three days for the bibliophages

    Would any of you fellows be interested in joining then?

    Many readers do not have the time on our hands to really just blow through a novel at break-neck pace. I would also like to encourage more active and ongoing discussion, criticism, and comparison of the novels, beyond just mere reading. The idea is also to encourage outreach to the more biased and selective forum members as well as encourage and aid in the development of aspiring authors.
