    it depends on how you define it, you can define it as -
    harem - harem constisting of multiple girls for da mc
    rev harem - harem consisting of multiple boys for da mc

    and well I would rather not have bl mess grouped in the already overflowing harem tag

    In all honesty, the tag reverse harem is completely pointless IMO, it should be pretty intuitive to know how the harem works for the most part.

    Harem Genre + Male Protag -> Lots of Girls for MC
    Harem Genre + Female Protag -> Lots of Guys for MC
    Harem Genre + Yaoi -> Lots of Guys for MC
    Harem Genre + Yuri -> Lots of Girls for MC

    So... I don't even see the point of the Reverse Harem tag in the first place, so I don't see why BL novels would need it.

    only if its a main focus of the novel. Otherwise we have tags like automations and adroids depending on the situation

    The definitions quite loose actually. As long as the novel involves machines it can be considered mecha. mecha here doesn't refer only to machines with humans inside in this case

    Well how loose is definition of the tag, folklore? (for starters it doesnt have a definition).
    Does it mean that the story is heavily based on a real world folklore? It has lots of real world folklore references? What about books where there are fictionally, ie made up folklores?

    I've added a Face Slapping tag. Since I don't like face slapping, I want to be forewarned when that's going to be in a novel. I hope you can help me out by using this tag when appropriate.

    I'm against this tag. Almost every Chinese novels on NU have face slapping. Even JP and KR novels have face slapping without using the term face slapping. And I'm against the term itself. Just like we use World Hopping instead of Fast Wear, Face Slapping is not slapping someone on the face.

    If you don't like face slapping, I suggest that you read JP only. More precisely, JP LN.

    Face slapping doesnt work as a tag. Not only is it pretty subjective, tags almost all cn novels but also that it doesnt specify anything at all.

    It’s a little hard to determine the degree of face slapping. It usually happens at least once in each novel.

    Try to avoid revenge titles and you should be able to avoid the ones with too much repetition and face slapping.

    In those cases, I recommend trying to check the Edit Logs to see if the weird tags were added recently... If they were, they're probably safe to remove.
