    Anyone else find themselves feeling empty or at a loss? Or that something is missing?

    Before I used to have coiling dragon etc and loads of other novels popping up for me to read. Now that I've caught up to most of them or some are already finished it seems like my release updates have grinded to halt... Anyone else feel this way?

    Not really exclusive to WNs, though.

    Any decently large project leaves you with that feeling of loss once you've completed it.

    Go add another novel to your reading list so you don't feel lost anymore.

    As someone who usually bing read 400++ ch in 3 days or so, this kind of feeling is like a weekly occurrence for me....

    I usually fantasize about some thing which would make interesting or straight up BL. ._.

    Like i read about a interesting pervy char and thought to myself, what if an impotent MC that was once OP because he was so strong once he had his perversion but it died because of overusing his power and became impotent. Now, a girl would help him recover his power to save the world. Or something like that.

    When Web Novel is scarce (2015 golden age) the moment you catch up with them is the saddest moment of your life, still remember that i start reading Coiling Dragon, then a week later RWX finished translating it... Or Mushoku Tensei and Shield hero...

    Now, so many novel have been translated, the feeling is less and less to the point you will even forgot that the novel is even existed, lol

    yeah, I know, I also feel like that in the past. but now everything in my life feels so rushed, too many things to do with too little time.

    I'm a new member for now, so I haven't started on any novels, but I have an apo on my phone called WebToon and it has a lot of talented artist and writers! Only problem.. If they aren't completed you get to wait 1-2 sometimes 4 weeks for the next episode! So, I understand the feels lol.
