    If it's recommended to me by someone I trust, then rating does not matter. Otherwise, typically around a four is the lowest I'll go. And depending upon the genre, it might need a 4.5

    3.7 usually.

    This doesn't count novels which barely have any ratings. Since those are too easily skewed.

    4.2 is the number for me. I’ve basically stopped reading at this point. I’ve given so many 4.0 and 3.9 or 3.8 stories and been dissapointed its a fact for me.

    it doesn't really matter to me but no lower than 3? i mean i mostly search reviews and summary and rating is only to see how part of people feel about the novel there isn't why they love or hate to read this novel.

    I'm basically read everything
    From lowest 1 to 5.

    Usually rate 1 novel full of weird fetish novel.. for research purpose. Most deciding factor actually others people review.

    But some certain genre i wont read even they have rating 5.

    Usually I look for novels above 4.0
    I'll read as low as about ~3.6 I guess though

    3 is the lowest rating point I had given to most average novels that I have read.

    3 stars + good reviews for me, with the exception of personal reccomendations by friends, and some low ratings stories with exceptionally good reviews.

    None, I just judge it by reading the novel after reading the genre, I have read 1* novels I found amusing, 4.8 above which I couldn't get into, things like ratings don't influence my decision that much... On the other hand, my enjoyment threshold is quite low, when compared to others at least.

    3 unless the reviews/spoiler threads convince me otherwise. My reading time is rare and far in-between, but when I do like something, I binge everything (+ raws if it's Chinese).

    I don't care about the rating,

    Before i try a novel, i read the synopsis who must interest me.

    After i read the comment ! And read 5 or 10 chapter before i have a opinion.

    Even when it's badly done, as long as it's interesting, I continue.

    The rating can not really represent the novel,
    each person to his/her own opinion

    I don't care 'bout the ratings

    What I usually check on novels are their tags, synopsis and sometimes the reviews it has

    I don't trust the ratings.
    But I do get skeptical and double check before reading anything below 3.
