    So I've been reviewing and stuff of novels with the goal of having at least a decent grasp on the pacing of the novel and at least out of the introductory part of the novel... blah blah blah. and whatever finished novels I've read...

    But anyways!! So hard to break into the top 5 users ;-; I got to rank 6, then went out for a day with family and came back to rank 8 D=. now to slowly crawl back into 6 and try to break into the top 5 arghhghgh..


    -end rant
    Edit:
    (Just so you know I don't really hate any of you I just find it slightly fun not knowing anything about what's n needed for the next rank)
    (P.S) My reading list just broke 200.. what am I doing with myself.. arghh..

    Oh man, and here I am satisfied with my rank #22 that slowly keeps falling because I'm lazy. Good luck trying to keep that rank. I gave up trying to get in the top 10 since I'd have to read and review genres I don't like to go that far.

    I've been only doing stuff I like or have read so far. I don't go as far as read things I don't like.. but I'm starting to think I might do it.. Let me put it like this the list says on oct 24 I've reviewed / rated 24 novels.. and I've only gone back to rank 7 Q_Q What happened in the one day

    yep, if you click your own name on the novel updates site rather than in this forum.

    That said, I'm comfy with my rank #100s. I don't want to read a lot that would take my time a lot lol. I'll just read what I actually am Interested at.

    My reading list is like so. So I've caught up to a bunch of them or even read ahead with my subpar chinese skills.. ;-; I've reviewed more then a few of them and am baffled that I'm not the only one who's reviewed a lot.

    Ranking includes everything in the stat count, not just reviews/ratings.

    I do usually edit genre's that are missing from mature and smut like novels.. ~_~ but most of my work is with reviews and rating.. I've only added one release due to the fact I'm usually reading something when things get releases -sigh- Oh well! I just felt like ranting about it finally :3 It's nice to know it's based on overall contribution to the site.

    I'm just curious and never care about rankings. Is it quality (How big your review/edit is in bytes) or quantity (Just basing it off the stat count)?

    Good luck on getting rank one then lol. If you have that big reading list and still won't get rank one, maybe they just have a bigger list than you lol.

    Eh I'm not that concerned about 1.. I'm going to assume its tony considering he did get the site up and running. I just wanted to be in the top 5 atleast once <3

    I doubt it's Tony. Just look at the "Member List" for the forums, and you're number one!

    Lol, I didn't imply you're spamming the forums. I'm just saying that the number one might not be Tony. Although considering that he did add a lot of series/groups/releases due to RSS feeds on the previous forums.... that might make him number one lol.

    oh jesus.. Now I want to know more.. ~_~ but I'll just keep plugging along. I managed to get rank 5 so alls happy now. I'll just keep reviewing novels I like and others that seem interesting.. ~_~ As long as theres enough chapters to base a review on atleast.

    I keep them in check easy, I read up to the latest chapter and then just follow them as they pop up in recently updated. If I miss one I call sunday my "Catch up day" and read things that I'm planing to read as it's released and read one of my backlog series that I have for backup when I run out of things up to date :3

    Well, I understand the concept of top contributors and it is indeed useful at the beginning, when the user base is still young!
    If I'm not wrong (and it is very much possible) I read in another post of the admin that his intention in the future is to grant certain reviewing powers to top contributors. Now, if today I'm in position to, let's say, edit and correct an older release but tomorrow I'll be "demoted" without noticing.. This could become very hard to follow, I think.
