Resolved Release Filtering Suggestion

I want users to be able to filter out languages in Release Filtering.
I believe this would be a great quality of life improvement some people only want to read from blank languages or dislike reading translated works from a specific one. An example I dont like reading series translated from Chinese, I find the speech patterns to be infuriating and I hate it.

Unfortunately despite people asking for this for years, site policy is to not implement this feature so it doesn't look like we'll ever get it.

 

That's too bad

 

There's no site setting to hide/filter languages, but you can use content blockers such as uBlockOrigin to hide them.

1. Go to https://www.novelupdates.com/account/ > Site Settings
2. Select Enable Origin Tagging (colored or not - your choice).
3. Paste one of these in uBO's My filters:

Code:

! Hide Chinese Releases on NU's Home
novelupdates.com##.release .orgcn:upward(tr)
! Hide Korean Releases on NU's Home
novelupdates.com##.release .orgkr:upward(tr)
! Hide Japanese Releases on NU's Home
novelupdates.com##.release .orgjp:upward(tr)

! Hide Chinese and Korean Releases on NU's Home
novelupdates.com##.release :is(.orgcn, .orgkr):upward(tr)

! Hide all but Japanese Releases on NU's Home
novelupdates.com##.release #myTable>tbody>tr:not(:has(.orgjp))

To add to the useful uBlock script posted above, here's one for hiding series in the Series Finder (didn't see that option anywhere, maybe I missed it), and one for hiding genre tags. Add novelupdates dot com before each one, spam filter because I don't post often.

! 2022-02-25 Hide tags
##div.search_main_box_nu:has(a:has-text(/yaoi|Smut/i))

! 2022-06-10 Hide Series
##div.search_main_box_nu:has(a:has-text(/TITLE/i))

 

Ohh, I'm dumb, I forgot about that since I use just a bookmark for the Series Finder. Thanks.
