    Counts as quite a lot in my book.

    I mean, you have to actually check if this stuff is legit.

    You haven't heard? I'm ranked #1 on NU. No, I'm not joking either.

    ....

    The other moderators help too so it's not only me.

    Gasps** then that means Tony IS a bot D= holding a high ranking means they are bots since they are submitting the releases.

    I always thought novel update works by having moderators, mostly Tony, waving their magic wands every few minutes and the site auto updates itself!

    The way it works is: every time a new novel gets added many people will rate it 5 stars like its the best. Sometimes even before a chapter is posted the novel could have 10 ratings or more of 5 stars.

    And after one chapter is added you'll get 20 more reviews of 5 stars claiming the book is awesome.

    Wish ratings were moderated.

    Are you planning to make a sister site that relates to updates for other priorities as well?

    I'd like to ask something. do you have to be a translator to post chapters for a certain novel? cuz Re:Monster on NU has 93 chapters released but there are over 300 chapters translated. I TRIED to post the other releases, but they never got approved. so I just went MEH.

    I suggest you leave this thread stickied forever. It took me a long time to notice the forum posts from the main page. Also at the start I wasn't really intrested, took me about reading 20-50 novels on this site before became intresting in bookmarking stories and adding them to my currently reading list, have read and want to read lists.
