Cleaning up tags on NU V2.0

I have made the tag and added sukasuka, ballistic weaponry, clockwork planet, dawnbringer and death march to it.
Now I need a definition and if anyone wants to make it more specific or something, I thought of a new name than, coldsleep. It does not matter now but just wanna give an ending to name searching part.

 

Added this definition for now, feel free to change it if it is inadequate.
"This tag is to be used if one or more characters wake up decades/centuries/millennia into the future and find the world around them changed."

 

cryostasis is not only about 'waking up', it should also be about the 'hibernation/sleeps' too. voluntary, or lack of it (as in punishment/accident)

 

Something like this then?
"This tag is to be used if one or more characters is in prolonged life-preserving hibernation.
Usually waking up decades/centuries/millennia into the future and find the world around them changed."

 

This tag is to be used if one or more characters is in prolonged life-preserving hibernation, voluntary or otherwise, followed by waking up decades/centuries/millennias in the future and finding the world around them has changed. This tag is not limited to hibernation due to being cryopreserved. "

Ps : i wanted to write the last line as " this tag is not limited to hibernation due to being on ice. " but did not do so as it felt like i am saying ice is a drug

 

once a tag has its definition/description added, it will 'stay open' (for anyone to edit) for 24 hours. after that, the auto-lock will take effect and only mods can further edit the defs.

 

i would like the tag 'harem' to be redefined.

harem MUST have people in a romantic relationship. unrequited feelings are NOT a romantic relationship. it's like how the girl you are crushing on IS NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

also HAREM DOES NOT MEAN A GROUP OF FEMALES GOING ON ADVENTURES WITH A MALE. (can also be multiple members of the opposite sex accompanying one another)

FRIENDS going out is not a HAREM/RELATIONSHIP. JUST like how you are not GAY when you go out with your friends to watch a movie or have dinner after work.


the "romantic subplot: tag should also be fixed.

it should eventually lead to a confession or a relationship. meaning that there must be acceptance or rejection. if it leads nowhere, it's not a romantic subplot.

just like how you have delusions of yourself going out with your crush, it means nothing to your crush.

putting harem tags on novels where a group of girls accompanying a beta jpn MC on his adventures is not a HAREM. it is MISLEADING.

 

first of all, thank you for your input.

next, to the business.

Harem does not mean a group of females going on adventures with a male
-i agree

Friends going out is not a harem/relationship
-i agree with this too, ftm

however,
harem MUST have people in a romantic relationship
-that's not how Harem genre works, bro.

therefore,

NO.

also, NO to this too,

while the current definition is by no means perfect, it properly captures the primary reason why RS was created, which is to limit people setting 'Romance' to each and every novel that has some semblance or just an instance of romantic scene.

all in all, this whole post is just a rant, no? the tone, the amount of CAPS, the bold, the underline. it is hard for me to think otherwise, tbh.
your english is good enough, so i trust it is not that hard for you to ask more nicely, wouldn't you agree? i mean, if it were you, would you rather deal with people shouting and demanding, or people that ask nicely?

 

In additon to what the snake said the polygamy tag exists

 

what if we were to revamp the way tags are phrased? NOT ALL, of course. Only the important, oftenly used ones. instead of using 'beatifully' phrased tags, we use a strict, cold, point based

=================

as i said earlier, all of these are just examples. so some terms i used could be incorrect. but it should suffice for what i intended to present, imho.

also, if. IF we later get a sub-tag system, these type of tag would probably be easier to incorporate and sorted, imho

 

At the very least the world classification is not up to the mark....There are already genres and it is too general to the point it is useless, for example, world : futuristic.... Just compare a space opera with something like, horizon or index.. And where would fcked up shit like shin sekai yori go?
Where would mondaiji tachi go? It is not your tolkein phantasy.....
Plus this change is really big so way more discussion is required

 

unfortunately, the series finder's dropdown list is not 'real-time', so i could not get a proper screenshot, but,
making the tags having the same starting word could make it more neat and easier to find, imho.
let's take magic as an example



see? it is neatly arranged, right?

i did say, example, didn't i? and you're missing the point. what i want to showcase was how we could categorize the tag, not the wording/term itself.

the change is actually more minimum than you could think of. we just need to list what tag to become what, and tony could mass-replace them all

for example, Male Protagonist --> Protagonist: Male. or Older Love Interest --> Love Interest: Older. it could be done with just a flick of the finger, thanos-style

 

I want to ask something, the novelupdates tags on weapons are not enough. The protagonist in the series I'm currently translating used wands for her weapons. And since I saw there is a tag called 'Sword User', I thought the tagging template would be the same and insert 'Wand User' in the tag. But then it changed the next day into 'Unique Weapon User'. The definition for that tag is 'the main character of the story uses a weapon (or weapons) that are different from those used by everyone in the world.' But in the story, wands are not unique to the protagonist.

So, can I ask for a tag called 'Wand User' or something that is more correct than 'Unique Weapon User'? Thank you.

 

IMO there's no need to add wand user unless the said character physically hit people with it. Magic tag would do.

 

Ohh so it doesn't count as weapon unless you hit others physically with it? Okay then, thank you.

 

Hmmmmm... It's a bit complicated... As in, I honestly don't understand why we have any weapon related tag in all honesty, but people seem to want them, so we have them.

At the same time, we tried to keep only the more relevant weapon tags live (like sword, since they are the most common ones), and put the rest on Unique Weapon User IIRC... However, I'm pretty sure @runsing didn't like the outcome of this very much, so I'm unsure on what is the way we were supposed to handle those tags right now.

As in, if we put a tag for each weapon that appears, we'll have some 20 or so novels with 1 or 2 novels on it, which is not very productive or clean... At the same time, right now we don't provide much information for novels in which people use a weapon slightly less common than a sword or a spear... I don't know if there is a better way of handling this though.

In the case of your novel though, I think Unique Weapon User doesn't quite fit it, so I guess it would be better removed... Uhn... I'm bad with weapon tags in general tbh, I'll leave it to @LaDyViL! >.<

 

If this isn’t the correct place to suggest a new tag, I would appreciate someone telling me where to do so.
I think there should be a “system” tag due to the recent popularity of system novels, many of which don’t have a “level system” or “game ranking system” (these are existing tags) which makes it very hard to locate system novels in the series finder.
