    (3rd times a charm maybe it'll work now) Hello y'all! I want to know what types reviews did you guys post on NU. Was it a:

    - Pure biased review
    - Professional review
    - Update as I read
    - Never posted one
    - Advertisment (mine on Lv1 skeleton)

    Tell me all about it! How often do you post em, why, do you like em , do you read em.

    I wanna know! I wanna know! And if you have some other type of review let me know! ^^

    I don't post reviews often, but the ones I do post usually are one that rates not on entirely writing skills but on how enjoyable it is. I do list what I like about it, a brief non-spoiler summary, then some points of address with spoiler tags if needed, and a list of what I think can improve and try to see from another reader's perspective. It's trying to be professional but ends up just being tl;dr....

    Hmm mostly post short reviews if translator asks for them. I just avoid reading trash hence no reason to bash it.

    But in all seriousness, i've never written a review. I came very close for this one retarded JP novel where the guy can learn any skill in any class by investing points and it started out good but then he just spread his points all over the place so he could do everything, but at extremely low levels. He'd be like wow my waifu is so strong, more OP than me, because he could spend her points too but specialized her and they let her go out and actually fight to gain exp .He ended up being a little healing bitch, before they were like oh he has earth magic, let's have him rebuild the wall during a siege so he gains zero levels (even though he has OP af acquisition of levels).
    All the little bitch needed to do was go with a decent build and he'd end that war within minutes. Full-nuker aoe the entire opposition or warrior build, run in and kill the leader. :facepalm:
    (imagine the exp you'd get for nuking a whole army, he'd be able to learn healing magic that could resurrect the dead at that point and insta-rebuild his own side / heal everyone in a second. K WHO WANTS ME TO COOK FOR THEM.)

    I write reviews if the story was hyped (Sevens, Dragoon,Mushoku Tensei) and couldn't get to like them or if the story is good but has a few elements that destroys that novel (Kamachi's works,Mushoku Tensei again, Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de), of course I also write reviews of novels I liked.
    EDIT.
    Professional reviews don't exist since every human is biased in one way or another, if you don't like yaoi you'll never give proper credit to a novel with that content and if you love it you'll be more lenient with it's faults.

    Some like to just rage review on an anticlimax so much that the novel become underrated.

    At least read it to the end!

    And thats my motto for reviewing so i will not do unnecessary rage review.
