Main Website
editThe homepage has 3 major sections.
Trending
editThere is a “Trending” HTML carousel which initially displays the top 9 trending novels of the day, and leads to a list of 289 novels. It is updated at 00:00 UTC. According to a moderator of the website, web novels which appear on Trending are checked through numerous hidden criteria to prevent users from cheating the system.[10]
Latest Series
editThe “Latest Series” is an HTML carousel which, much like the “Trending” carousel, displays the 9 newest novels (called Series) which were added to the website. Additionally, the "Latest Series" leads to a running list of all the novels added to the website.
Latest Updates
