I'm not entirely sure specifically what 'taint web novel' refers to. It could potentially be a very niche or newly - created term. Maybe it's a misspelling or a term specific to a certain group or community.
Since the term 'taint web novel' is so ambiguous, it's difficult to say if there are popular ones. If we assume it means a web novel with a negative or unusual aspect, there may be some that gain a following because of their shock value or unique take on a genre that might be considered 'tainted' in a sense, but without a clear definition, it's hard to name any specifically.
Maybe it's about family secrets and their impact. Or perhaps it focuses on a character's struggle to overcome a dark past hinted at by the 'taint in the blood'.
There was a haunted house on the outskirts of town. It was known for its putrid smell of pus and taint. A group of friends decided to explore it one night. Inside, they found rooms filled with old medical equipment covered in a disgusting substance that smelled like pus. As they moved further, they felt a sense of dread. They heard a voice whispering about a curse. Apparently, a plague had once swept through the house, and those who got sick were left to rot, their bodies festering with pus. The taint of death was everywhere. The friends quickly ran out, but some said they could still feel the sticky pus on their skin long after leaving.
In the context of 'American Horror Story', 'taint' could refer to a sense of corruption or impurity. It might describe how certain characters or the overall atmosphere of the show is affected by something dark or morally wrong.
Some popular light novels include 'Sword Art Online' and 'Overlord'. But I'm not sure specifically about 'taint' related ones. It could be a very niche or misspelled term. Maybe you mean 'tainted' in a certain context like a story about a character with a tainted past? Without more context, it's hard to name exact titles.
One common element is a foul smell. The smell of pus and taint often pervades the setting, creating an atmosphere of disgust and horror. Another is a sense of decay, like rotting flesh or old, infected wounds. There's also usually a backstory involving some kind of wrong - doing, such as unethical medical experiments or a curse. And often, there are signs of the pus and taint physically present, like puddles of pus or slimy substances.
One way 'taint' might manifest is through the physical decay of the settings. For example, in some seasons, the houses or locations seem to be tainted by the past tragedies that occurred there, showing signs of rot and decay.
The wealth gap taints success stories in that it can make them appear exclusive. When there is a large wealth gap, success stories often involve individuals who had certain privileges or access to resources that most don't. So, these stories are not representative of the general population. For instance, a startup success might be due to family connections and wealth, rather than pure merit, which undermines the authenticity of the success story in the eyes of the less privileged.
