    There is this feature called 'release filtering' where you can exclude novels with the tags or genres you don't like. You can exclude 'yaoi', 'xianxia', or anything outside your preference.

    I also use the feature to exclude genres like mecha and sci-fi, and tags like 'rape' or 'reverse rape".

    Rather than NU is bad, it seems like you are the one who don't know how to navigate it. *Shrug*

    OP makes it sound like NU is purposely hiding goodies from them. :blobneutral:

    ^ like the guy above said
    and NU is an Index for translated novels....so if there isn't anything good, it's because it isn't beign translated.

    Use the filters in series finder. You can exclude the genres which you do not want and include those which you require.

    You sure you're reading the latest updates right? There's definitely Korean and Japanese novels in there than just Chinese novels.

    What exactly is good for you, though? We can't help if you don't tell us what type of novel you're looking for in NU.

    I haven't seen a BL in years, what is OP smoking?
    [​IMG]

    On a serious note, the lolicon genre was removed and most novels that qualify do not have the loli/lolicon tag.
    So frustrating. I simply decided to swear off all Japanese novels with the romance or harem genre

    As a lot of others has said : just use filters to block genres that you don't like and simply create an exclusion list with the option "hide from main release page"in your reading lists (mine is called "Nope" and has the toilet paper icon, there is 2442 series in it at this moment) ...

    Usually I send generic xia stuff, abusive relationships (both in BL and hetero style), sloppy harem romcoms, stupid reincarnation/transmigration revenge, template magical schools, lucky pervert brainless eichi and incomprehensible descriptions right into the trashbin. :blobtriumph:

    Its a library of novels, you can either find your luck in trying what is the most popular between user and if suits your taste or you could manually filter out what genre you like and dislike to narrow down your choices. Spoiler...it doesn't magically show what you prefers the most without doing anything.

    As all other people have said, please use filtering function.

    That said, can i report OP as trolling or something? Seems to me that he's not even trying. He can make a thread in NUF yet can't even explore the functionalities of this site? Sound fishy. Prolly is just a second account of someone who is bored and tried to trigger NU community reaction.

    He registered on January this year, few months of usage and still didn't know how to use NU? I refuse to believe this. I learned how to use NU in the first week, even tho i am not that active.

    :blobReach: don't be lazy on doing a simple job---> using the series finder in filtering the things you hate. Smh. It's not hard to, don't blame it on the site.

    I was lucky when I found release filtering that save me from hell. NU is much better than other sites.

    Remember some manga sites has no filter option on their release update. At least text is not damaging, image will destroy your eyes. I tried joining lezhin and everytime I visit the site my mood will be destroyed and I want to throw my eyes.

    Praise Tony for the release filter option.
    Praise all the mods for their hard work.

    At least in NU I'm safe from all those horrible stuff on the net lol.

    You can, but being lazy is not against the rules. So don't expect anything to be done about him.
