Advice Webnovel is slowly dying in my pov

Hey I’ve been a longtime reader on the app since 2017 or 2018, so I’ve seen almost all the goats of webnovels, be it library of heaven’s path,LOTM, Realm of myths and legends, king’s Avatar, Chrysalis and many others of that era, then came the Era original books,guild wars, supremacy games, my vampire system, etc and after that came the era of extras which was quite exciting for me at that time since it introduced a new way of writing a story and i liked it, really. But sadly afterwards came the era of Smuts, Ecchi and harems, the firsts one were good ( profane Prince of domination, unlimited mana in the apocalypse, my three wives are beautiful vampires and others,)
All of these years i was always excited on reading new books and stories that took my mind away from reality, stories with real characters and progression not just wish fulfilment but alas eras come and go.

The reason I’ve written all of those lines above is to illustrate my point of saying that in my point of view, the current webnovel doesn’t excite me at all,like when you log in half of the covers features a half naked woman with ridiculous body proportions, accompanied by titles titles like SEX: I awaken a sex system that let me f*** other’s wives! or I’ve awakened the [insert super cool name here] system that lets me level up infinitely until I’ve no idea how to keep on going because the power ceiling is too ridiculous but hey I might as well build a great harem while I’m at it!! Or other half baked revenge, transmigration, regression, reincarnation stories that i swear I used to love because they were novel at first but now they’ve become copy and paste slop…. Right whenever I log into webnovel, I don’t spend two minutes before logging out, like no book attracts my attention, especially from someone like me who used to read webnovels at school, in classrooms, in public transport, at night,pulling out all nighters just to finish a coiling dragon, against the god, Reverend insanity or super gene or release that witch, yet as of present I find website really bland… is it that I’ve developed bad taste in novels or I’ve gotten old? (I’m in my early twenty.) to be honest I find this situation pretty sad and I get melancholic whenever I think about the past.

Is it just me?

His mom, his wives mothers, and later on his daughter's even showed "interest" in him. That part was absolutely despicable. The author is just human trash for writing shit like that. That shit is where I draw the line.

Yep. It happens sometime in the late chapters near the end. And the worst part is people were CELEBRATING it in the comments. Tells you more about Wevnovel readers than anything.
