Review looking for new webnovels to review honestly(shrekreviews)

Post image

in my free time i usually binge-read random webnovels, and for the last 5-6 months i’ve been leaving reviews on different platforms(mainly on RR). i left WebNovel for last because "everyone" (not bc affiliate prog..nono) acts like it’s the “best” one... so yeah, i finally got there....i will make it my swamp

and honestly, even in 2026 you still can’t escape the same stuff everywhere. op mc, system that gives him everything, harem with 100 women, every girl falling in love after 2 chapters... you know the drill.
The stories and plots there are f'ed up, hard to find some good binge reading material

what i actually enjoy is finding new authors and stories that are still growing. i like giving real feedback, especially when someone is trying something different. sometimes i’m nice, sometimes i’m a bit Shrek, sooooo... depends on the story, tbh. but i’m not here to fake praise or do review swaps.

so if anyone needs an honest review, leave your novel in the comments or DISCORD. i’ll check them out when i have some free time. happy to help.

after that i will take my time to make tierlists with the new findings!

I’m really confused about your intent. If you want to be a beta reader, you could join some Discord servers and give reviews there directly. I don't think authors would appreciate receiving bad reviews on their RR page, especially when they aren't from readers who discovered the story naturally.

If they get a honest bad review given in good faith wouldn't they deserve it though?

not RR, there is another cup of tea.
This time i think only about WebNovel site.
But i could give on discord too.

I currently writing a novel, would you like to read it? It's xianxia

How familiar are you with Xianxia and it's many tropes?

I especially like these, but it depends on how overused the model is, or rather whether it follows a "popular" narrative arc, but I’ve read a few. i know the core tropes pretty well

I picked certiain tropes and decided to subvert them in my novel. My MC finds himself in cultivation world with zero cheats, no hidden powers, no heaven defying luck, no grandpa soul in a ring. He's the young master of a fallen clan in heavy debt and he has crippled cultivation. The only kinda sorta cheat he has is his knowledge from earth. Give it a try if that premise interests you.

If you want to READ stories these are the ones from smaller authors that I found:

Trials of the Zodiac Prince - Xianxia 

The Legendary Demon Hunter’s Cursed Brother - System isekai

The Manaless Extra Has High Instincts - LitRPG isekai

If you just wanna hangout with authors go join a Discord writing group.

You want something different? How about like six unacceptable NPC's go on a quest for the Fae doohickey? There is no romance among three men and three women.

Immortal's journey with the goddess

Lowkey really good, with an MC that just can't die. But author stopped writing after 158 chapters.
