Happy Anniversary webnovel.com. This is just a checklist of all suggestions and demands I read and felt people asking for including my own. I wanted to do it way before, but I procrastinated. Anyway, since this is a great day, I am including a Special bonus as a fan reader without permission (Hope I don't get DMCA).

An elegantly dressed Chinese man in his thirties sat before me. He claimed he was from webnovel.com and came to interview me since I somehow got into the Hall of Fame for face smacking. He was pretty ordinary looking but he had the confident eyes and gentle appearance that called for a beating. But I knew instinctively, he is dangerous. Step on him thinking he was a weak prey, and he will bite you back like a vicious snake. A smacker.
He started talking in extremely fluent English.
"Welcome everyone. I am yours '2.'
This is a special program to celebrate QI's first anniversary
(then he started talking fast)
This program is brought to you by "Nefarious Affairs" a story by KiBiBiK.

(comment: I am not hoping to win the powerstone race by this ad, just trying to get more readers. Please leave your comments as they encourage me more than powerstones.).
Now that we got the boring part done, let's begin the program."
Interviewer: "We have here with us the person who had claimed to have kicked ass and shameless enough to beg me to advertise his lousy novel. KiBiBiK, mainly known before as KingBiBiK."
KiBiBiK: (slap) What's with that? Do you have an issue? I never claimed anything anywhere.
Interviewer: Oh. I said it wrong then. Here we have KingBiBiK who kicked ass and entered the Hall of Fame with an evaluation of Max Face Smacking skills.
KiBiBiK: I would not claim that. I still have to improve. I want to lead a peaceful simple life. But what can I do when people give me recognition. It's really hard living unnoticed.
Interviewer: Is that so?
KiBiBiK: If not why would they send someone to interview me, especially someone who is proud and talented like you. That just EMPHASISES my importance because I am the one getting interviewed.
Interviewer: (slap) Maybe I am here to humble you?
KiBiBiK: I am already humble, maybe QI sent someone to me knowing I can humble him.
Interviewer: (Smack) Then let's start the interview.
KiBiBiK: I believe the readers will get bored if it goes like this. So I am going to mention a checklist I made for QI to keep in mind and hopefully implement later.
Authors should be able to see
>view counts. (both cumulative and unique if possible)
>'added to library' counts
>each chapter rating average and how many people rated.
Authors should get a follow ability after writing a certain amount of words.
This follow ability allows the readers to follow the author directly.
> Inkstone in mobile.
> Bold, italics (I don't care honestly)
> Delete story. (They can do it themselves or they can send a request to you for it.)
> Separate page for Originals in powerstones. (check)
> New stones if possible (@BaiSiwa's suggestion)
> New ways to popularize Originals.
Popularity ranking
> Explain how popularity ranking works
> Criteria it takes into account
> When it gets updated (daily? hourly?)
> Is it based on cumulative or weekly data? (Because it doesn't fucking make any sense sometimes.)
> Get rid of deleted novels. It's annoying to see them above yours.
Old demands
> Sorting ability for the library (Read later, following, favorites)
Tough and future suggestions
> Friend system between users
> Private messaging
> Notification for chapter comments for authors (on/off should be choosable)
> Ability to link your reviews to each title respectively. (Only viewed privately)
> Start encouraging people to read Originals with exp. Since exp required is going exponentially make tasks that encourage reading and commenting.
> Author approved exp (authors can get to give a couple of exp each day to the best comments). Authors get this ability after reaching a threshold or getting an achievement.
> 100, 1000,10000 comments task as a long-term exp goal.
> comments can be manipulated but how about exp for 100 likes, 1000 likes and 10000 likes.
> encourage involvement instead of giving 10 exp to one translation rating. Give task to that as well.
This is for all readers.
A simple guide to tackling translated novels and its rating system.
Consider this after 20 ratings. (What's below is a general assumption and does not apply to all novels. Especially Original novels.)
4.8+ = Godly
4.7 = Awesome read
4.6 = extremely good
4.5 = Great work
4.4 = Great work but with some issues.
4.2-4.3 = Good work that has great potential.
4.0 -4.2= Most like it, some don't
3.8 - 3.9= Usually something badly executed. Half like it, Half hate it.
3.5-3.8 = Usually Bad with some liking it.
3.0 -3.5 = Usually Trash
<3.0 = not even Gods can save them
KiBiBiK: That's it. I forgot the rest.
Interviewer: Oh. What was the point for all these lists?
KiBiBiK: I don't know. Just trying to do something useful.
Interviewer: We haven't done the interview properly anyway. Talking about you only make the readers bored. So this checklist is better in that aspect.
KiBiBiK: (slap) True. Just curious. It's kinda weird getting an interview like this. Oh. you did not tell me your name properly. What's with that nickname of yours '2.' Do you have diarrhea or something having to go for number 2 all the time?
Interviewer: (slap) Haha. That's just a nickname I once used. I have no problem with telling you my name, just you have to keep it a secret.
KiBiBiK: What's special about your name? Is it funny?
Interviewer: Not exactly. My name is Zhang Ye.
KiBiBiK: Zhang Ye? I remember this name from somewhere. Oh. Right. Zhang Ye the MC of I'm Really a Superstar.
Interviewer: That's right.
KiBiBiK: Nice. You have a famous name.
Interviewer: Not exactly. That name became famous BECAUSE IT'S MY NAME.
I'm ZHANG YE. The MC you just talked about in IRAS.
KiBiBiK: (Face smacked 100%) WWHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTT???????????
Wanna see the rest, leave your comments below.
Just for fun. Leave your comments below, if you want more like this.
Who wants to see part 2?
I will take this out if there is anyone has an issue.
