    Hi everyone! MangoGuy here!
    So, I noticed that in a lot of the 'Im looking For' section, there is no real reason to directly ask for opinion of people. Sure, it is not wrong. But there are just too many recommendations, and Invisible Dragon references. you mostly only get the popular ones, which are not necessarily what you are looking for.
    Well the, how then should we look for novels? First off, we need to have some idea about what we are looking for. Once that is done, we can go straight to Series Finder. finder.PNG
    • Let's first look at what are the popular demands:
    • Chinese web novel,Cultivation, Should have no harem(protag loyal to love interest tag),Maybe a bit sci fi,need not be completed be completed,Should have atleast 100 ratings for the popularity factor, should have a maximum of 700 releases(not chapters) as I don't wanna binge too much.Also I want the list to be based on the ratings. Here is what I am looking for: find.PNG
    • Here is what I got:
    • find2.PNG
    • Now, i want a CN with a female MC. But I DONOT want a reverse harem. maybe a minimum of 40 releases, and I want her to be in the old times so..Ancient times OR ancient china tags. I dont want rape to be in the series(exclude), and I also want it to be a comedy and romance. What do I get in the order of last release date? find3.PNG
    • now, the novels we get may have both female MC and ancient tag, or whatever, whci is told to us in the list. This is what i got:
    • find4.PNG
    • Now, if I am not sure about which one to choose and whatnot even after reviews and ratings..THIS is what the forum is for. Ask for opinions.
    • Last case: I want a Jp with a male lead, and a harem. maybe time travel, and wars. it should have action AND adventure. it shouldn't have a cowardly protagonist,or tsunderes. I wan tit have a rating of 3 at the least. And minimum 10 releases. And I dont want it to be in my reading list.No particular order so..this is what I get:
    • find5.PNG
    • The list I get is: find6.PNG yup..a single series matches all of them.
    It is not wrong to ask for people for suggestions, it is just that it would be better if you put some effort by users first. And this can also be kinda like a guide for those who dont know how to use the series finder. dont worry about the tags, the tags prompter works like a charm.
    Hoping that this was both helpful, and not TOO picture heavy.
    PS: Even after you get the list of series, you need to decide which one to pick. opinion count here..and you can just look at the synopsis and all. new underrated novels are generally found through this~~
    As for the times when the tags are not proper..blame the community. tho the mods are constantly working.
    And also..finding those kind of novels is easier through this. Just look at how many tags are there related to that.( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) Just look at the list of tags here:http://novelupdates.com/list_tags.php Better on pc.

    Nice idea Mango. :hmm:
    You should ask a mod to move it to tutorials and resources for a more long lasting effect too.

    you could add that it´s easy to search NUF for threads where people want recommendations for novels not on NU (RRL, SO, ...)

    Naah..for them, you should not show personal opinion. I excluded the tsundere tag. That is opinion.

    This x100

    These are the same types of people who ask others instead of taking 5 seconds to type their question into google.

    Nice point, it does bug me sometimes when people post requests that are just a bunch of search terms. But there are also a lot where people ask for things that can't be found via the tags or may not be translated. My last request included "raws are welcome" because I didn't expect any translated novels to meet my criteria. (I should probably check back on that thread...)
