    You be ever just been scrolling through novels on this site or just see a recomendation for a Chinese novel then read it's description and beet with absolute gibberish that tells you nothing about the novel at all. I just kinda hate all those novels because I usually decide 50% description, tags and where it got recommended from and 50% reviews but those descriptions are just annoying I atleast wish someone could put a more sensible description there not just keep the gibberish :/

    This might be ironic but, what's "beet with absolute gibberish"?

    Like this description from The Path Toward Heaven:

    I am the sword.
    Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one dares take ten steps.
    Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one can take ten steps.
    Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, ten steps? Not possible!
    I am the sword, the sword is me,
    On the path towards heaven, each shall wield their own.


    Me: Only understood that MC is a swordsman who (prolly) kills, but still intends to go to heaven! :blobwoah:

    Well pretty much all CN xianxia have same setup so a synopsis would just seem like paraphrasing, so they just dive into dramatic punchlines.( Though I think its meant to be poems in Chinese, the translation just makes it blahh)

    Yeah, Renegade Immortal, POTT, AWE, all of their synopses are Poems.
    AWE one is translated though, iirc. It is the one that goes... "One will to create..."

    Why don't you use release filtering to remove those from the releases page? I use it to remove all of the needless clutter and it works like a charm.

    Lolol

    the female protagonists novels: I transmigrated into the trashy something number miss who everyone hates! But watch as I turn my life around with all these skills I had in my other life! Slap dog family who turns out sometimes to be unrelated to me, slap unfilial half sister who stole my fiance, slap those who called me trash, slap that no good fiance and slap- wait what are you doing?! That's my tofu!

    Omnipotent ML: *Rubs tofu sensually* Mine now.

    What i i don't understand about CN Novels, mainly xianxia, is their absurd naming sense about power level.
    For example,the author introduce the villain as a cultivator at golden core stage or smth. I don't know if that's good or bad, because they dont have anything to compare it with, and what makes it even worse, for some reason, the stages are different in every novel (at least the one i read) so it makes it hard for me to keep up with every novel i read.
    I just dont understand, is there something i'm missing or that's just how it is ?

    No such thing as a standardized level, so everyone invents their own.

    Yeah, most CN webnovel descriptions suck, and a lot of times the translator just translates that. Every now and then the translator will write their own.

    However, anyone can edit the descriptions on NU. So a reader can write one and add if they like...

    Summaries and reviews aren't that reliable for me. Because sometimes summaries doesn't even make sense at all, and as for reviews, something that might be okay for others might not be okay for me. :blobflag:

    I usually just look at the tags. Like if it has a rape or harem or whatsoever that I don't like, I won't read it. But if it doesn't, I usually just read the story then decide if I like it or not to continue.:blobReach:
