Ah, Webnovel—the land of shimmering covers, glowing ratings, and promises of fantastical stories. You open the app, bright-eyed and hopeful, thinking you've struck literary gold. But oh, sweet summer child, buckle up for disappointment because Webnovel has issues.

First off, let's talk harems. Yeah, harems. Now, I'm not saying every harem story is inherently bad, but Webnovel serves you a buffet of them—cringey, poorly written harems where the protagonist is practically drowning in an ocean of devotion. Except, it's not the seductive kind of cringe—it's more like watching someone attempt to moonwalk in flip-flops.

And the writing? It's dog water. Seriously, the vast majority of these stories are riddled with typos that make you wonder if they were run through a translator powered by a toaster. The plot? Nonexistent. The characters? Please. The girls are either personality-free robots whose only function is to worship the protagonist or they're full-blown yanderes—obsessive to the point of psychopathy. I've cringed so hard while reading these that I'm surprised my spine didn't eject itself from my body.

But wait, there's more! Let's talk wish-fulfillment. Sigh. Webnovel is practically drowning in these. Protagonists who get everything handed to them like they're living in some magical land where personal growth and struggle don't exist. Now, on paper, wish-fulfillment doesn't sound so bad, but when you realize about 68% of the stories on this app are the same rehashed fantasy of omnipotence, it gets real old, real fast.

Let's face it: if your protagonist is so overpowered that they can sneeze and solve the plot, your story is dead on arrival. There's no tension, no stakes, no reason for the reader to be invested. It's like trying to watch a horror movie when you know the monster's already dead in the first act. Take a lesson from "Jujutsu Kaisen." They literally had to seal Gojo, their strongest character, just to keep the story interesting. And even after that, the author still had to find a way to keep him benched because his overwhelming strength just broke the plot.

And this is coming from someone who actually knows how to write. So, what makes you think you're going to be the chosen one to revolutionize the overpowered protagonist genre? Trust me, I've been there. We all go through that phase where we think we've cracked the code. But listen—writing is not about giving your characters unlimited power; it's about giving them meaningful challenges.

So, yeah, good luck with that. Maybe stick to Gojo fan fiction.

you might have better odds.

And now, let's have a heart-to-heart about being a slave to Webnovel, because let me tell you, if you're thinking about quitting school to become a full-time Webnovel author... Stop. Take a deep breath and consider your life choices. Because, trust me, you're going to regret that decision faster than you can type out your next cliché-filled chapter.

Here's the reality: the amount of money Webnovel pays its authors? "Terrible" doesn't even begin to cover it. Try horrible. Laughably tragic. You might as well start a GoFundMe for your writing career at that point. Unless you've somehow written the next international hit (and even then, the odds are stacked against you), you'll barely be able to afford ramen on what they're dishing out.

The promise of making a living off Webnovel is the equivalent of chasing a mirage—sure, it looks like an oasis of success from afar, but once you get close, you realize it's just an empty desert. The harsh truth is that most authors are stuck grinding out chapters, burning their creativity at both ends, all for a payout that wouldn't even cover a fraction of your rent. You'll be working for peanuts—and not even the salted kind.

And when that reality hits, when you're staring at the bank account that's somehow more depressing than your latest plot twist, you're going to be haunted by that moment you thought quitting college for Webnovel was a great idea. Newsflash: it wasn't.

So, unless you're in it purely for the love of the game (and you better really love the game), keep your day job, keep studying, or do literally anything else that won't leave you chained to a platform that treats its authors like disposable content machines. Because trust me, there are better ways to chase your dreams than selling your soul for pennies.

And let's talk about the real kicker—the moment you sign that contract, thinking you're finally going to make your novels worth something, Webnovel comes in and swipes 50% of whatever you're making. That's right, 50%. Half of all your hard work, gone, just like that. Compare that to YouTube, where creators only lose 45%, and it feels like Webnovel's practically robbing you at gunpoint.

But here's the real punchline: YouTube actually has content. You're not limited to some lines of text on a page. There are reviews, tutorials, quirky YouTubers doing God knows what—basically endless possibilities for entertainment. On Webnovel? You get books. Pages filled with letters. That's it. Sure, if you love reading, that might sound okay, but it's not exactly the broad creative landscape that YouTube offers.

And to make it worse, you can't even do a damn thing about it. Once you sign on that dotted line, that contract has you by the throat. They're allowed to take your money because, surprise, you agreed to it. It's all perfectly legal, but that doesn't make it any less painful when you realize half of your earnings are just vanishing into thin air.

So yeah, if you're dreaming of fame and fortune from Webnovel, be prepared to have your dreams cut in half—literally.

Oh man, don't even get me started on the bots. We could spend all day talking about the sheer number of fake accounts on Webnovel. I'm convinced that half the "users" aren't even real people at this point. You think you're building an audience, getting some traction, and then you realize your glowing reviews and sudden surge in followers are all thanks to bots. It's like living in a ghost town where all the feedback is coming from nothing but echoes of algorithms.

But hey, I'll leave it there, folks. Just remember, Webnovel might have its flashy appeal, but behind the curtain? It's not all it's cracked up to be.

So yeah keep yourself free and not a slave to this money hungry pig of an app.
