Quality read metrics?
Does anyone have a flowchart of what they look for to decide whether to read/not read something? Or drop something?
Here's some of my categories: Drop if: 1. There is any mention of a 'lazy lifestyle' or similar in the title 2. If there is any mention of the premise of the story mentioning the characters by role (i.e, protagonist, villain, side character) unless the premise is _really_ bat shit crazy 3. If smut/yaoi/yuri - go to the 13th page of 2 random chapters for web comics, 25th page of similar chapter sampling for manga (or eyeball 2 chapters - not the first 2 - for lewd). If there's lewd, the whole thing has a very high likelyhood of being lewd. 4. If non-complete power fantasy or shonen harem, avoid - those things can stretch to infinity 5. If the art is so bad it causes brain damage (has to be specifically cringe, misshapen or overly pretty/gritty/lewd art - I don't mind the art being like Mob Psycho) 6. If the front page needs to be censored from children - that's not for casual reading, that's for horny. 7. If it's one of those yaoi manhwa that's got the comment section frothing at the mouth about non-con 8. If the title otherwise spells out the plot or premise of the plot, especially in first person.
One thing that _does_ work in favor of any work is if it's tagged horror. or fantasy. or supernatural.
I don't read anything that has isekai mentioned in the title or long ass titles that are basically a summary. Ex: I got isekaied into another world as a prince with a harem of 10 elf girls who all are obsessed with me blah blah. Just kill me already reply
when the title cover is just a man on the floor with hickeys on his nipples and there like 10 pairs of hands touching him or theres a woman getting fingered reply
1. If the raws r from "ridibooks" then its worth a read
2. if the art style is oily then is guaranteed to be a porno
3. If the art style got just the right amount of color and lighting, then its a manhUa and you ain't gon find any porn
4. if it's a manhUa and its starts with the seme being a big dick, then it's going to be one of the worst shit you...... 1 reply
For me, if it's 'system' related i drop it immediately. i want protagonists to act as they are even if it's fkn annoying at times, at lest they're being true to themselves. or if it's isekai and they reveal that they're not fron that world/era, it loses its appeal because if protagonist reveals they're not from that era but act as if she's been the...... 1 reply
Kind of, I mainly drop the ones that are:
- Overhyped romance manhuas with a specific artstyle that looks too good.
- tags with harems, including the untagged harem but is tagged in the novels.
- When it has transmigrated or 2nd chance of life where the GMC who was hated in the previous is suddenly loved for no reason other than her abilities.
