So I noticed some people say they don't have a NU account or don't use one. Which, imo, voids the specular versatility and ease that NU can provide. So let's talk about how have a NU account is AWESOME! 1. You can fight trolls. Back in the olden days of NU, we faced the attacks of losers without a life who would edit novel pages to say stuff like "Hail Hitler" and shit. Only people with NU accounts could fight back. How awesome would it be if you could claim to have fended off a troll attack? That's sure to impress the ladies/gents/unknown (lol).2. You can become a top ranker on NU You score points by doing stuff like reviewing, voting, or adding (appropriate and correct) tags (seriously, cause otherwise we will ban you ). Think of all the street cred you'll have if you're in the top 10. Heck you may even become a mod (most mods are in the top 10). It'd be like standing next to gods 3. You have access to a reading list and filter releases. With a reading list you can track your favorite novels, hide novels you don't want to see on the front page, and have your favorite novels easily visible on the top of each page. Also, don't want to see shit like Xianxia/Xuanhuan or Lolicon (wtf is that a genre, even I don't know) on your main page? No prob, just use filter releases and they'll magically disappear. You can even filter groups so if there's groups with terrible mtl cluttering a otherwise pristine set releases, you can make them disappear.4. A NUF account is automatically made for you ...yeh I have no way to make this seem like a good thing...uh, have a safe journey, friends. Don't get married to rando's or becomes moms. This place is insane.5. You can leave completely biased reviews and ratings Then journey into the dark lands of NUF and start flaming about the idiots giving your fav novel a 1-star. So what are you waiting for? Take us one step closer to world dominati helping you find that perfect novel to soothe your wish-fulfillment, possibly horny, craving. *Legal Disclaimer: this message does not in any way represent the will of Novelupdate or its staff.

Do not take anything said here literally because unless if you are interested in roleplaying, there is no way anyone would be impressed by your ability to slay trolls or your rank on NU.

NU is awesome. It makes tracking novels ridiculously convenient. (I was on batoto and Bakatsuki before and it was annoying everytime I lost track of the translations) I remember lurking from way before the first year anniversary until now.
You've forgotten the most important thing! NU Forums pays you for being here and active! *disclaimer* currency not redeemable everywhere
Well it depends on what you use NU for. Some use to to find new novels and see when new chapters come out. If you are using it for that purpose, it might beneficial to have an account but not necessary. That is why I didn't have one for a while. If you want to participate in conversation and the community here, that is when you get account. That is my experience and why for a while I didn't have an account
oh yeah making a nu account has made me 900% happier but has the cost of -1000% time. not advised to make Nu account.
Tbh I don't use most of the features of NU. It's kinda lazy and silly, but I just can't bring myself to.
