You know, during quarantine there was a huge boom in novels, both original and and fanfic here on webnovel.
That's about the time I started reading here at first. I initially started reading here without an account. What drew me in at the beginning were those SL ads on YT, but I quickly figured out that this site had more to offer. I was so excited in the beginning, new avenues and possibilities, so much to read.
Chrysalis, The Mech Touch,Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse,Alien Evolution System, The Legendary Mechanic, Chaos' Heir, Supreme Magus, Custom Made Demon King, Rise of The Undead Legion, Monarch of Time (I loved it, the harem threw me off, I might start reading again), Grandpa Universe, Monarch of Solitude, and many others were my introduction here.
I remember looking at the TLs here, and I was intrigued, thousands of chapters, and a thriving community, one that actually looked alive. I can't really describe how much more lively it was back then compared to now. Now it's different, it's kind if weird, I kinda miss how it was before. Sure the MTLs were awful, but this new soulless prompt bs hurts me as a reader who actually wants to read someone's work, not just a super duper correct essay.
