Author list

As the web-novel industry has been around for longer and its influence has spread into more and more fields, the number of readers and authors has continued to grow. Naturally, the number of works has grown too. With so many web novels available, readers have a much wider selection. But for newcomers, the abundance brings up a tricky question: where should you start? This is especially true for someone like me, who always wants everything to be perfect. I've always wished I could read every quality web novel published since the industry began and witness what made each era unique. Obviously, that's impossible. So it would be meaningful to find excellent works that represent the distinctive qualities of web novels from different eras. That's why I made this list. Of course, with my limited experience, I'm hardly qualified to make a list like this. I only made this rather presumptuous attempt to get the ball rolling. I hope more experienced readers will put together more lists like this. Then I can, hehe... (Oops, I nearly gave away my real motive.)
