I was browsing Baike (Think Chinese Wiki) and came across this, thought it was really funny and translated it to share. o3o
Definition of a Eunuch Novel and where it comes from:
In the internet world of novels, what makes us gnash our teeth the most and have no way out? It is not the main character is too cowardly in front of an opponent, it’s not that your most favorite beauty role exits the story, rather, it’s when you’re feeling great and gradually enter the climax, then the author suddenly waves their sword and it suddenly comes to an abrupt end. From hope and expectation, calling out, begging until disappointment, then anger, hurling abusive words, waiting through every night. Until it’s finally clear that the author would not return and the countless blame will change into low sighs: You person without conscience… let us run through those that make us go crazy and then make us fall into despair.
Top Ten Most Hateful Webnovels:
No.10: Immemorial Oath
Author: Winter
It’s really been a long time since I’ve read this book. I remember that the writing is considerably soft and exquisite, the author’s thoughts are deeply mixed in, it is very worth the read. The author’s eunuch reason is rather unique, said they had to join the army. Sigh, in all of these years, have they not retired yet? (More info: No longer eunuch, started writing again, check the Baidu message board!)

No.9: Searching
Author: Used to Vomiting
The readers of a sports novel are always in the minority, this novel obtained numerous readers due to the author’s mature writing and suitable YY (means BL). The half realistic style made the YY have a deep flavor, and the flowing writing diluted the oppressive feel of the realistic style of writing. This made the novel have a very cordial feeling. However, this kind of novel also has the same fate as the highest quality of Chinese Soccer. At first, we have our breaths taken away, then moved, and disappointed again and again before finally accepting there is no way of saving it.

No.8: The Purple Rising Wind Luo Xia
Author: Jing Ke Guard
Compared to Immortal Lu Smoke and Dust’s sincere and elegance, Punished Immortal’s deepness and grief, The Purple Rising Wind Luo Xia gives people a devoted and dedicated profound impression. In order to stubbornly pursue the dao in one’s heart, they needed to place down everything that is extremely precious to them from the secular world. That kind of apathy that sees through all worldly affairs often makes me feel faintly pained from the bottom of my heart. Deep emotions, pitiless, remembrance, cold and detachment. The author is also a mediator of the world of mortals, how could they completely grasp the conflicting views and conflict? This was probably the reason why this novel became a eunuch right….

No.7: Cannan’s Heart
Author: Dark Red Flame
A game novel based on DND, the author appears to be a DND veteran and is very thorough with the rules and worldview. The story line is also amazing, however, the portrayal of the main character is especially weak, though the supporting character’s personality is very clear. But there is too much filler and the female lead is just a flower vase for the most part, so the romance is rather stiff, is the author a nerd that stays inside and plays games all day? In short, it is a novel that has it good point with many weak points, but it still manages to be a above the other novels in the mix of web novels online. As such, there are many readers who after reading it, would curse the author.

No.6: Wei Suan Academy ABC
Author: ftp1976
A classic story about an academy, in this time period where Japanese words are commonly mixing in as we grow up, there is often that kind of language in this novel. However, the usage is good and has a distinctly unique flavor, this is a prime example. Although this novel says that it is still updating, that it already something from years ago. At this moment, I want to represent every reader that waited and had their hearts dropped and smashed, despising the author again and again….

No.5: Game Rhapsody
Author: Author’s 12 Syllable
Four years now, the helmet had long turned into a standard equipment for online game novels. This novel’s completion is still far in the indefinite future and bears the weight as the first online game novel for many people. A few months followed by three years to update, it really made the book review area bustle up, like a huge block of rock was tossed into the tranquil water surface. However, the aftermath of the ripple had all dissipated. The author really enters the water like a stone, never showing their head again…

No.4: King of the Dream Devil Boundary
Author: X
The plot of this novel is unconventional. It’s probably when the author still harbors a sincere dream toward the internet’s literature. Every time I recall this novel, I can still clearly recall those fragments of the story that once moved me. It was said that the book was finished, but many readers retort against that. They rummaged through the internet but did not see even a bit of it. According to textual research, the author showed his head in 2007 at some forum, then was reported to be missing again. After that, there has been no news whatsoever…

No.3: Heaven’s Might
Author: Li Siyuan
Like a vast and glorious symphony movement, like it is from a splendid and magnificent castle, Li Siyuan’s writing has been able to weave a scenery that shocks me. Weakness, desire, betrayal, courage, dreams, trust and love. In Li Siyuan great theater he had built, they appeared one after another. Perhaps it was because it got too big so he was unable to continue writing this numerous and complicated theme, or perhaps he is just used to making unfinished works. Or perhaps he is too concentrated into the stock market and can’t get away. But in a sentence, he once again disappointed us. Someone said that the more gorgeous the beginning of his work, the bigger the chance it would be unfinished. It’s not that I don’t believe it, I just can’t help but be enticed… next time, I might still just plunge straight into the great ditch he dug without looking back…

No.2: Heshi Disciple
Author: Cold Drill
The founder of the “pretending as a pig to eat the tiger”. Since then, masking (hiding one’s strength), skin (thick-skinned), transforming (hiding identity), changing poses (I think this one means how they are always improving the martial arts they are given :v) + common place small boy = an exceedingly awesome golden plate highly eligible bachelor, what xuanhuan novels are full of. To tell the truth, because it’s a first person view novel, the restricted viewpoint made it really hard to continue the story line as the it developed bigger and bigger. It’s not that a lot of people stole this novel and turned the point of view, they just straightfowardly stole the idea of it. Because Cold Drill’s moral quality is still pretty good, in two months he managed to squeeze out a chapter. In short, awesome people are awesome people, not only are they good at transforming themselves, evading the masses on the internet is also first class. Causing a generation of readers to endure from the days of school to work… (Saying the author is too good at hiding and making alts lol)

No.1: Purple River
Author: Old Pig
Although still updating at turtle speeds, in my heart, this novel is already dead. The beginning was a humorous story, but afterwards, it turned into a mature story, like a boy to a man. Like a northern goshawk (type of bird), after struggling free of their fetters and handcuffs and soaring for freedom in the sky going far east, the first love from before started it’s fate and gradually proceed after each meeting. A lot of people blame this story, but quite a few thought how a canary in a basket can compare to an eagle (I think this is about the characters…). The pure divine feeling scattered and smashed when it collided with reality, making people sigh without end. I think that was the peak of Purple River. The original three-way conflict of the story turned into a two way confrontation after one died. I think that in these long years of update, Old Pig also no longer have those grand feelings from before. He no longer has the strength or heart to handle this complicated story. Sigh, at least I hope it completes, I can only pray…

Honorable Mention:
Cursed Soul
Author: There Are Immortals Out There
Xuanhuan novel with refined writing. It starts out very good and attracted a lot of readers, it can be said to be an early work that was pretty good. But if it’s now, it’s no good. If the above were all eunuch novels, then this novel is a eunuch then eunuch then eunuch again novel.
It released in 2008 and did not release for even a month before it got eunuch. Then in 2011, it got updated with several chapters then again eunuch. 2014, it signed a contract with 3G Book City for a month then after four months, once again eunuch…
An update in three years twice, then eunuch again, would the next time it get updated be in 2017? And once again another eunuch?

Comment: The rating isn’t high, but the resentment index is the highest. Something that happens once every three years really makes one speechless.
Here my comment, comming from NUF, good job translate it lol.
Soo shortly this is a list of incredible story that left out in hiatus literally forever right? What a bitch move author ?
I’m laughing my arse here.
These Eunuch Novels are top notch!
Still haven’t read any since I begin late into webnovels, it started when I got my own laptop after graduating highschool and that’s just 3 years ago. So much to binge read, yet so little time…
Seeing the ratings & resentment index made me quite scared to read in fear of being castrated from time to time continuously…maybe someday…I’ll read…..
And that honourable mention really is a “cursed soul’…..*guffaws*
Bobbing it’s head every 3 years then cut-off when almost reaching peak ??
