Review Detail of StaticHD in Ghost Emperor Wild Wife: Dandy Eldest Miss

Review detail

StaticHD
StaticHDLv126yrStaticHD

This novel should be removed. It's almost been over 2 months. Even novels that recently appeared are still getting higher votes than this novel. I will vote for every novel that is not this novel because the longer it stays here, it's cheating the system due to how long it stays compared to other novels. It's obvious that the majority of readers don't take this series as something great.

I'm not really sure what the issue is here. The way this voting system works is the popular books get to be released much quicker while, an unpopular book that does have some fans still have the hope it may come out eventually. Being unpopular means it doesn't have priority but it doesn't mean it there is no fan base as its current 100k+ votes can attest to that. If it does eventually come out that doesn't mean it's cheating the system it means that the fans finally got their reward for patiently voting for it and not giving up after many months of being bypassed.

There is a big issue. And I'm sure you see it, but you choose to ignore the real truth. If there is only one member who votes for a novel to be released, and he does this for one billion years without the voting system being reset, wouldn't it be odd if the series doesn't finally get chosen after the votes for the new series can't catch up?

No I still don't see it nor am I ignoring any supposed real truth. Let's use your extreme example of one person and waiting one billion years. If that person puts in the time and effort for one billion years how is it unreasonable that they eventually receive a reward for all that work? Yes it may seem weird at first glance that a single person got to choose a new novel. Yet think about it they would have to have voted and waited everyday for a billion years to accomplish that. While in the end the popular new series that go pushed back would have to wait a single extra week. In the end the popular series will always be rewarded while the unpopular series will always be punished for it's lack of interest. This way just gives people who may favor less popular books a hope they may eventually get their wish though they may have to wait much longer to do so.

This is a business, not a charity. This is the most fundamental truth that you ignore. Your comment above suggests that you choose to be beyond ignorant. This site relies heavily on ad-views and payment-stones. So it's not fair to other translators who have a series being viewed by one hundred thousand viewers while one translator gets only one viewer per release and yet gets valued as equals when it comes to payments. In the end, this remains unfair and exploitation of time.

Your right this is a business owned by a large web novel company and yet they choose this model of selecting new books. If they wanted only the most popular choices they would create a selection that resets every week and drops books that are the listed for x amount of time. As to why they chose that I don't know enough about their market to speculate on their opportunity costs. What I do know is two things. One all businesses put quite a bit of thought into selection of new products, poor products equal poor businesses. As such any system created for selection of new products must follow whatever rules they have for themselves when it comes to new products. Two as long as this is the current system Quidan uses for selecting books any book that takes awhile to be chosen is not "cheating the system" instead it is merely following the design it was originally created for.

Designs are not always perfect but they can always be perfected. Systems have a prioritized function, but there are always bugs that need to be fixed. If this was originally the intention of Qidian - then so be it. I just find it "flawed" for the long run, especially if they plan to have it play out this way until the end of time.

The main problem I see with the system is that it makes it seem like we have a choice. With so many people on this website each story will be released at 1 point, no matter how unpopular it is, all we decide is if it gets delayed for a month or not. If a novel cant get enough votes in around 1-2 months, I dont see why qidian should translate this.

The way I see it, the problem is that most of the stories on Quidian are male oriented so there is probably more male than female readers and most of the male readers don't want to read female MC story so they will vote for other stories. The result is that romance stories are at great disadvantage.

Lords of Qidian will do what they want, but I observed the vote increases and this novel is currently number two if you look at the increase, and not much behind the runner up (which seems to have a dreadful synopsis IMHO). "Romance novels" (defined whimsically as those with female MC) score quite well in popularity ranking, an Qidian can either focus on the most popular genre, or work on getting broader readership. If they can afford it, it is better for them to get more breadth and larger total readership.

Increase or not, it's been on list for over 2 months, while the runner up has been around for only 2-3 weeks. The Time-Difference in points accumulation is enormous. The Lords of Qidian are unjust. Sure, Patriarchs should be able to do what they want, but educating their disciples on unfair situations are their job as well too. Especially when they are being called out for it.

Let's be realistic, this novel is being exclusively voted on by female readers and the random few male, if any. The female to male readership ratio is highly skewed towards males. So this novel is being wanted by many readers, but the males vote for and keep the votes on other novels higher. Like you mentioned, this is a business. The business caters to both male and female readers, and if qidian did not have new stock with female protagonists, it's female readers would be dissatisfied which qiaidan wouldn't want. Female readers are customers too after all. Every single novel that qidian puts out for voting is to be eventually released, voting chooses priority. So regardless of which novel gets what votes, it means qidian decided to put out this novel too. It's not like they intend to bankrupt themselves is it? They wouldn't release these novels if they considered them loss making. Anyway, there are other novels with even lower votes, they've been hanging around too with abysmal number of votes on them. By your logic then, all the remaining novels on the "what's next" should be deleted.

This novel is the oldest one to ever be on list of accumulating votes. Regardless of reasons, for a novel that's had a head start on votes 3 months ago competing with novels that started 2 weeks ago and reaching similar voting numbers is a major problem regardless of male to female ratios.

While it remains true that it will not generate the same interest or money as the more popular novels getting snapped up quickly, Qidian is also in a way obligated to provide female friendly genre for its minority (as long as it remains profitable). I don't know the numbers but I'm assuming that female oriented novels are doing well among its target group for qidian to be putting out more of such titles. It's a business right, as long as the number of readers for a particular novel is sustainable for the amount paid to translate that novel, qidian profits. It's a very capitalist model so I trust the numbers are positive. A lot of the female protagonist novels are thrash though honestly. As a female reader, I can only hope qidian brings out better, more unique novels for us, rather than these copy paste novels. I'm not complaining though because rather than nothing, I pass time reading empty caloried novels like this one.

Obviously this fellow Daoist has spent too much time in the mortal world and had his Dao heart corrupted by reading too many novels. That aside, I really rather wanted Tales oHG than this one, still I submit myself to this democratic system as it is fair I think. First you aint giving this novel any potential future just because the majority of voters thought that based on that small summary this novel was not interesting. Second imagine you like a specific kind of genre and than a matching novel appears. You vote and vote for 2-3 months because the majority doesn't vote for it so it gets delayed. Do you suggest that this novel should just get wiped off the ground and we pretend those people who voted for severals months just didn't exist because it is not mainstream enough? Aside from the problem that female readers have a disadvantage when voting for books which have female protagonist, so that's I think "most of times" a given. So though I will have to wait another week for ToHG I think that it is fair as the accumulated amount considers every vote given. Do you have any other alternative system in mind? Resetting stuff, I don't like that because of those "lost votes"

Now the story is 12nd on power ranking so does it really mean noone is reading it? and it shouldn't be published?

It's obvious that the mods/admins are capable of influencing the ranking system of the site. Nothing is truly legit or fair anymore. I won't be surprised when tis novel reaches top 3 on power rankings because deep down, we all know that voting system can be easily falsified by the patriarchs of the site. The moment this novel was accepted unfairly was the moment I realized how corrupt this system truly is.

Well, this novel has been translated for less than a week and it's already 12th on the Power ranking. Your comment sounds a bit stupid now. And how exactly do the "patriarchs of the site" falsify the votes?

How exactly do the "patriarchs of the site" falsify the votes? That question is funny. It's like asking how did Hillary Clinton defeat Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Election? Or how did Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton during the presidential election? There are many systems that are corrupt - the one on this site isn't any different.

how did Hillary Clinton defeat Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Election? Well, latin-americans and afro-americans didn't vote that much for Bernie and the majority of democrats aren't white males. How did Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton during the presidential election? Several reasons, not all the votes have the same weight as electoral districts don't have the same amount of people, some people who got mad Bernie didn't win didn't vote for Hilary and everyone disregarded the power of propaganda from Trump campaign so they didn't take his race seriously untill it was too late. But that doesn't have anything to do with who exactly are the "patriarchs of the site" or how could the falsify votes.

Wow, according to your comment, corruption never existed in these voting systems nor do they exist on this site. Good talk.
