Which genres do you guys filter out?

[CarburetorThompson]

Dungeons Invade Earth, Eastern Fantasy, Fan fiction, vrmmo, Wuxia, Xianxia, BL

Not all are genres listed on SH but it’s generally what I avoid

 

[greyliliy]

Fanfiction, but not because I dislike it. Lol.

I'm here to read original fiction. Lol.

If I want to read/write fanfiction, I use AO3 or occassionally I'll go back to fanfiction.net.

 

[RedMuffin]

GL, BL, GB, Smut, Horror.

 

[Kenjona]

Incest, gl, bl and gender bender. They are just not the cup of tea I desire.

 

[greyblob]

boys love, girls love, gender bender, smut

 

[aattss]

BL (personal preference) and evil protagonist

Sometimes I also filter out male protagonist

 

[3guanoff]

Ecchi, Fanfiction, Genderbender, Romance, Smut

This topic should have been a poll

 

[melchi]

Smut, fanfiction, GL, BL, LitRPG, and Cultivation

Isn't that like half the stories on this site?

 

[Representing_Tromba]

Isn't that like half the stories on this site?

Only a quarter

 

[CharlesEBrown]

I haven't yet, I just look for titles that stand out, and read the summary. After that, then I'll look at the tags and maybe add it to my list or maybe not. Then never have the time to read more than a chapter or two so it is all moot anyway (at least so far)

Funnily enough if you write about some of these tags they're avoiding you're practically guaranteed an audience :P

 

[Tsuru]

Fanfiction.

Always:
Fanfic, tragedy
Most of the time:
Smut, adventure, Sci-Fi
Sometimes:
Action, GL, BL

BL, GL, fanfiction, marital art,

GL, BL, GB, Fan fiction, Josei...and thats all I think.

everything gay, along with horror and fanfiction

GL(Too many), BL(Just..Just no.), Fanfic(Take a guess), Harem(Garbo)

BL, Harem, and Fanfiction

fanfiction, bl, sports

I don't use reading filter and I don't really need it. My mind automatically filters out anything that's fanfiction.

Smut, fanfiction, GL, BL, LitRPG, and Cultivation

So many people banning "fanfiction"


And i was the same before.
Until i read some good ones. (EN or CN)


Now my favorites are chinese fanfics compared to legit CN novels.
Also more wholesome. compared to cultivation/xianxia/wuxia/urban.

Spoiler

ps : Its greener in the other side => That also means the industry is surcharged + people tired. That means bigger untapped potential in fantasy (compared to xianxia CNs) but also bc fantasy is fundamentally slightly better than xianxia. And anyone smart enough to understand this fundamental underlying logic = good brain => likely good author => likely good fantasy chinese novel/or/fanfic.
+ fanfic means, very likely, that the author love its work/theme
+ if it survive longer in the high competitive chinese writing industry = quality
+ trxs.cc has now a rating system, that is very helpful (bc like us, in the west, also began to have good tastes. Their comments is identical to ours) Also trxs.cc only accept series with lot of chaps.

But yeah. I kinda understand the "dislike/hate" for it. As i'm an ex-disliker.
There are still a BIG number of bad ones.
(or marvel/DC ones, which is a big NONO for me, and lot of others i bet)

Here is a SH fanfic of ultra high quality to support my point :

Fate as a Servant

Is it not enough being reborn in the Nasuverse? Is it not enough being a servant? I can deal with all this, but why do I have to be Aqua?! She shouldn't even be from this verse so why?!?! Mc won't be as stupid as Aqua just in case. There...

For me, I filter out fanfic on SH. There are a few fanfics that I enjoy but I am not part of a lot of Fandom so I only like certain types.

 

[Deleted member 41774]

BL, Fanfic, LitRPG, Smut. Was also considering filtering out Isekai and Mecha, but left it for now.

While I haven't read anything in the main site outside of the SHHS one (which is ironic since that's technically a fanfic hehe), I always check new releases at least once a day for anything that might pique my interest. Thus, the filters.

 

[Deleted member 148356]

Yaoi, Yuri, Fanfiction, Mecha, Sci-fi.
Korean, their style of writing is not my thing.
in case confuse, I use Novel Updates.

Edit: so I have learned that pretty much everyone won't read about the gays or fanfiction.

Personally I don't usually read tragedy.

 

[Anonjohn20]

I didn't know you could filter releases. Guess I will do that now.

Yeah, you can make it so that stories with certain tags never show up on the main page.

Until I read one of Robert E. Howard's old boxing stories, I avoided sports stories like the plague and still am unlikely to read them. I am also unlikely to read "smut" (despite loving Tom Lehrer's old song about it, a march for his cause ... Smut) - but I reserve the option to read anything if something about it catches my eye, regardless of tags.
