    hi,

    i've been paying attention to your 'fix' for a quite a while, actually. you're removing too many genres from each novel, even to the point of stripping all (but one) of them on some novels.

    while i do agree some novels were tagged with too many genres (and tags), removing all of them is not the way it should be. therefore on your recent cleaning, i had to put a temporary stop to it, while i review them one by one.

    anyway, your editing capabilites have been restored for now.

    i removed genre because they're wrong
    fantasy should not be with xianhuan because xuanhuan is basically xianxia + fantasy
    same thing for xianxia + xuanhuan, it should only be one or the other

    also some novels with like, one joke are the comedy genre which is wrong because it should be a tag. same for action and everything else i removed. comedy genre should be for novels that are constantly funny like AWE, silly alchemist, or LOHP

    martial arts should also be for novels like martial arts master, where it is a core theme or reccuring theme because its a genre.

    not XX spends 5 days practicing flying dragon = martial arts genre

    it would have been nice if you sent me a pm when you did what you did to inform me anyway thanks
