    I see you still have not completely explored the novels, but consider expanding it to atleast 3stars and above

    Same. I read till 60 and left it to come back later..

    For me, it should be Jun Juiling and Pivot of the Sky. Of course, there are more I can't remember. A lot of series which got finished before the TL boom.

    It's an optimal way to use the summer vacation(not being sarcastic)
    Even i have multiple lists of novels i have yet to read...... Plus I conducted a < 3.7 novel search not listed in any other list and a series search (check my reading list) and many of them are not read
    And i still have to organize my list and completed novels...

    Underrated? More like overrated.

    Really. The rating has 3 stars as OK, 4 being GOOD. If a novel gets an overall rating 3.9 (GOOD) that somehow is "underrated." LIKE WHAT? Just because they like the story they want it to have an overall rating of 5 stars even thought the story has many many faults. Three point something is a good score already.

    I think this is more about perception really. I mean, 3 stars is already OK, but somehow, in here, it means the novel is bad. Like, a novel just can't be OK, or GOOD. It has to be SUPER or else it's underrated.

    NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System
    2 most liked reviews are negative and thus turning away readers. Those 2 guys are idiots who wrote about their pet peeves and not actual reasons this novel supposedly sucks. Their main reason is : it isn't a real dating sim boohoo.
    Who the fuck cares? It's great the way it is. In fact if it was a trash sim, I would be rating it 1 or 2 stars, so in essence those guys are complaining that the novel isn't trash they expected.

    "Where there was fire, ashes remain"
    That's why I usually don't read novels below 3-4, there should be reason for their bad rating

    Probably something which I put on hold because translations stopped and nobody else has picked up.

    If it's still being translated then it at least has readers.

    My Girlfriend is a Zombie

    It's a novel I expected to be more popular, even by the standards of what's popular it should've have a lot more visibility, lol.

    I completely agree with you and I rate like this mostly with no novels getting a 1
    The problem is people like us are minority and as such the rating tends to be skewed towards 4 as average as such anyone who sees a 3.5 star novel would assume it to be bad
    Also there are some books rated < 3 that are good or are side stories soooo....

    Usually the reasons are:
    1- Harem, virgins hate harems.
    2- Foced sex/rape, most dislike it, but some more than others.
    3- Slow start, read 20 chapters and there were no "explosions" and face slapping....
    4- MC didnt do exactly what the reader wanted, "why is he so dumb, why didn't he do this or that!".
    5- Bad reading skills, completely misunderstood certain parts or believes foreshadowed things came out of nowhere.
    6- Crappy starting translations, we all hate this shit, but usually they get better later on.
    7- MC is not a saint, some people believe they are holier than thou.
    8- Only look at flaws, all novels are flawed but sometimes you have to be unbiased and not just rate everything you dont like a 1star.
