Man the Nalu is sensitive topic talking about them like this is wrong. The Nalu part lured me, I expected her to criticize the Irene plot as well but she didn't which actually annoyed me, I don't consider this moment FS but Since when fan service is more criticizable than the actual plot? Maybe i was harsh but i get angry really fast.
YOU DO. Lol, was no reason to snap at Bel or anyone for just giving her thoughts of a chapter, in their perspective. It's better for everyone when everyone likes the same thing or event but just have to understand not everyone shares your same view. It's better that way, to me at least
I know nothing can be completely objective or unbiased but imo a review needs to have these qualities as much as it can. Of course, personal preferences can be there too but I was just pointing out how it ignored flaws in the Irene plot. And when did I ever say I was annoyed, mad, triggered etc?
Sorry about late reply, I wasn't in a mood to reply
Why should it, though? We're reading what the person thinks, even if it's a review. Plus, why are you guys getting all bent out of shape over a disagreement? You may not show it, but the argument shows it. Much better to have biased reviews because seeing things from other points of view can help you understand the manga more.
It's a sort of a contest where people do reviews and you choose one at random, or do you choose one to feature it?
Right now it's first come first serve. If we were to select a random one, I would like it to be at complete randomness. We would still probably read it over to make sure its appropriate and not just spam.
Oh yeah, definitely have to read it. YOu can always give each review a number and use a site that selects a number at random, or turn it into a contest.
Best way is to either let them post review threads or make a weekly thread where they can post reviews, and another thread to discuss the reviews or use the CHapter Discussion. Thorough/long reviews shouldn't be in the Chapter Discussion, honestly. Unless it's a short review, it's more detrimental not to let reviews be posted in their own threads. What the mods can do is super sticky the winning thread or something.
It could also go like the first person to notify Brandish or an admin their intentions on wanting to write a review will have the honor. That mod will announce in the chapter review thread who was the first to reply and then just delete that comment and unlock the thread for the nominated one to post their review after you guys examined it. That way so nobody is 1. rushing to finish hastily to be the first one which could cause the review to be sloppy instead of more thorough by the reviewer and 2. so nobody's time is wasted making a tedious review just for it not to be the one used.
I do like the idea of having a thread where people can post reviews under that format, but then why have a "winning one"? Seems unnecessary at that point, just let people do more formal stuff in that thread. For everyone else that likes to do posts/reviews with emojis and pictures i don't see any issue with that being done in the chapter discussion. While there is a limit for sure on how long a review should get in the chapter discussion, this is a topic that typically gets 30-40 pages worth of content. Why would we worry about that when it seems to me it has been fine the way it is. Perhaps others feel differently though so just my opinion on this of course.
Yeah certainly too many threads may look silly and especially if it's several ones with different restrictions. The best way i think is to have the one Brandish posted be for people who want to post reviews under those guidelines, or do it the way Doughboy said and make it a selected person so people do not waste time.
Exactly what I was thinking. People read reviews to consider different viewpoints and help shape their own opinions and having only one review to represent the overall opinion of the community leaves other points of view unexplored and unrepresented.
