[feature request] filter out "Stub" from Best Rated lists

You can filter for any genre, content warning, tag, even "fan fiction" can be filtered out.

The one thing missing is the most important one—"Stub"

If I'm looking at lists of the greatest, it's because I want to start reading something (from the beginning). If I wanted to go to Amazon/elsewhere, then I wouldn't be on RR...

And since these lists are the most successful books, a huge amount of them are indeed stubbed to be published on KU.

Can we get the ability to filter out stubbed books?

[rant] Every "reborn as" book should have a baby on the cover art

Every book of this genre shows a teen/adult dressed in WoW raiding gear and doing some kind of epic magic.

But the book is 400 pages of a baby meditating.

The cover is a lie. The only way it could not be a lie is if the baby part lasts ~4 chapters before time skipping to when the adult mind is matched with an adult body and is no longer super creepy.

Give me your blurbs

Feeling a little self conscious about your blurb?

Wondering if your blurb could blurb a little harder?

I like improving blurbs, if you want advice/critique/praise put yours in the comments and I'll take a look!

Whatcha reading?

I'd like to start reading a new story or two

I've been looking at rising stars lately, but a lot of the books feel like they start strong but by chapter ~20 is nowhere near as good

I'm also so bored of the same "voice", every book feels like it's written by the same author these days.

Anyhow, what are y'all reading lately?

My current ones (in order of quality) are:

- Aura Overload

- Archmage Coefficient

- Five Element Overlord

The real meta

Author of William Oh & Industrial Strength Magic: Macronomicon

Author of Calamitous Bob, Changeling, Journey of Black & Red: Mecanimus

The names are so similar, I think there's something to it. I don't think I have all the pieces yet, but it feels like I'm close

RR book with the most "fun"

Just finished a book, looking for new recs! What RR book has a huge sense of "fun"? Could be whimsy, heist, pirates, cowboys, but definitely no lone wolf "I hate everybody" protagonists.

Does any "tutorial" series have an actual tutorial?

Just realizing that every system apocalypse "tutorial" is actually just plunging everyone into the new world/system. There's no easing in, or learning things bit by bit. I don't understand what's different between the "tutorial" and what comes after.

Are there any books that actually have a tutorial for the system initiates?

Best AI assisted book on RR?

I immediately put a book down if I see any hint of AI-assisted content, but now I'm curious if anyone's made something good with AI.

What's the best stories you've seen, made (in whole or part) by a machine?

Please stop writing "It wasn't a threat, it was a promise."

> "If you do X, I'll kill you." It wasn't a threat, it was a promise.

My brother, that is literally a threat.

Bonus sentence I just read:

> "He would have to defeat them. Alone, with nothing more than his Ancient Power."

I don't get it. There are so many, so it must be popular. I'm trying to read about a baby who is cultivating or leveling up or something, but it's just a baby. There's no interaction with the outside world, barely any characters, there's no goal to achieve, no stakes, no mystery, no urgency, it's just a baby with adult thoughts and it's kinda cringe/creepy

Can someone explain the appeal to me?
