Hello guy and girls,
I have been reading novels for more than 10 years and i enjoyed doing that....i know that complaining doesn't matter, but recently i didn't find anything good to read and i'm bored so i'm here to rant and make a POLL about the novels that are coming out. Specialy the Original work on RR and SH.

The past 2 years the quality of the work there was disapointing, author wrote fast and short chapter at the expense of quality....yes, i noticed novel go to 200-300 chapter but with crappy content about slice of life, pointless fight, usless description, ecc.

Years ago while there were still work that didn't make sense, there were also work like "don't fear the reaper", "Universe Online", "long island", "observer","change: new world", "insania Online", "fantasia", "Re: Ocean" ecc. with slow update but fun novels where i waited for months for updates(i'm still waiting for chapter).

But the past month i tried to read trending and popular novels on those sites, and become disappointed by the quality(and i'm not talking about grammar)...
Most of them have chapter too short with fast update where the content is crappy, there isn't any plot to follow, there isn't a backstory, the world bulding is a mess, and an abismal lack of side character POV that isn't a simple slice of life. those novels are just a MC becoming OP af in 3 short chapter building a Harem...

most of the work on RR and SH are ruining the plot and character developement for fast release...
So do you prefer having Author posting each 1-2 day short chapter(quantity) or once a week/month long chapter well writen(quality)


tl;dr.
i'm disapointed with recent novels on RR and SH so i'm making a poll
"do you prefer short chapter with fast release(quantity) or long chapter with slow release(quality)"

Look at your target audience. Your current target audience based on this forum expect daily releases.
Quality be damned!
That is a fact you have to live with

...I'm a Chinese Singaporean.  I don't even know Korean except for a few words I picked up while watching Korean variety shows.  Heck, I know Japanese more than I know Korean.

People say quality but what they mean is quality + quantity. They want both, and if they can't have both, they almost universally pick quantity. No matter how special we may think we are, website stats prove quantity gets more readers and keeps more readers. Quantity gets more comments, reviews, hearts, or whatever. Higher reader interactivity. On all metrics, the more you put out, the better the results.

As a writer, I acknowledge this truth with bitterness.

What we want: Quality

What we REALLY want: Quantity

The thing is, we all want quality, but end of the day what we really want is time wasters and quantity fills those in. Now as we become more busy and have less time, we then focus more on keeping the quality while stop reading the quantity. But for most people, time wasters beat all. Aka, people want to see a release or 2 every day.

Now there was a long discussion on SH about the featuring and about the unfair advantage those that release short often vs those that release long chapters less often and Tony said they'll do something about it. But in general, releasing more short chapters means you'll be featured more often, that is simply the reality of the system.

And in some sense for a website they want people to keep coming back so reliable releases are preferred over sporadic ones.

I mean how many authors start releases than become sporadic and disappear? (My chapter is coming I swear!), so reliable short releases that may be low on quality is easier to release than mass releasing low quality stuff.

PS I am not saying the top novels are low quality, many of the top ones I've read were high quality, but I have no clue how things are now cause I haven't picked new things up in a long time due to being busy, so hope no one gets insulted, just making a generic statement.

Quality, of course. Without a certain quality, more quantity is not desirable.
