    Is there any way to block Chinese novels without manually taking down em one by one? Not to be racist or sort anyway.

    You can probably block most of them by blocking the Xianxia, Xuanhuan and Wuxia genre.

    I'll be honest. If you actually managed to block the hundreds of CN's in NU you should get prize for that.
    But anyway I don't think there's a way to block all CN's

    Go to release filtering and group exclusion. Ban Webnovel. :blobowoevil_horns:

    Then go to the Tag section and ban Cultivation, Heavenly Tribulation, Black Belly, Dao Comprehension, Daoism, Dao Companion, Fast Cultivation, and Feng Shui. The rest you can check yourself... getting lazy.

    In the Series Finder, tick all the languages but Chinese? That would be what I would do.

    Try blocking the groups that release chinese stuff. Most of them are from same groups anyways.

    There are also tags like: Arrogant Characters

    Or just make your front page show only whats on your reading list. Then you can use series ranking or series finder to find new stuff. They have filter for Chinese language.

    This doesn't block them, but you can make it easier to spot them by enabling origin tags on the homepage. The setting is under "Site Settings" on your Account Settings page.

    This is what it makes the home page look like:

    Pretty sure Tony once said that he won't make it possible to block releases based on language. You can ask, but don't get your hopes up. The best way is still to block those tags as shown by @raitei

    Most Chinese novels translated on NU share the same problems, but as long as you get rid of xianxia, xuanhuan, wuxia, qidian and most dude novels, you will find that some of them are quite charming. Some novels aimed at female audience are pretty nice. BTW, Qidian sucks.

    Ops sorry for the lateness, well I did tried some but ugh, probably stop reading Chinese novels until I can handle the randomness or stop caring/understanding the way they write em.

    I also want to get rid of all the pesky CNs. They make up most of the NU catalogue and they're mostly shit.
    Shitty CNs are burying all the good JP and KR novels. It's a huge problem on NU that they refuse to fix.

    Certainly. I did that too, long ago.
    That brought it down to 70% of the home page instead of >99%.
    That gets it down to around 60%.

    I'm still seeing more fucking CN's than everything else combined!
    I want them all gone!

    Sadly, without setting block per-group/per-title, that's the most you can do. Anymore specific tags might include some other non-CN titles, bad or not.

    You can avoid them further by turning on the language tags, but that's it (since Tony won't implement language filter for release list for whatever reason).
