“Promotional Chapter” tag?

[calvitre]

I know a lot of people have been frustrated with seeing an interesting concept, and then seeing it as a promotional chapter for a novel. On the other side of things, I’d like to be able to read all of them to find novels. Either way, I think that being able to filter with it (while working either instead or in conjunction with the Oneshots tag) would be really helpful.

@Calvitre Have never seen anything like what you're saying, do you have an example?

@Plykiya
hi i'm not the person you were asking but https://mangadex.org/title/43727/i-met-the-male-lead-in-prison is an example of one
right now they're filtered under "oneshot" but there's a difference between a "oneshot" completed story and a "oneshot" promotional story and it would be greatly helped by calvitre's suggestion

 

[Plykiya]

Well oneshots don't necessarily imply completed stories, they just indicate what the name implies. "Oneshot" -> One chapter, no matter how long, short, finished, etc

@Plykiya But this way people could filter out the ones that also had the Promotional Chapter tag. Another example is Villainess Maker. As you can see, there were some disappointed/frustrated people in the comments. Even if they didn’t want to filter it out, I think that having that as an expectation going in would help prevent that anger/disappointment.

Edit: @Kake also mentioned wanting it in the comments of the English version.

Edit 2: Also agree w the person below.

@Plykiya I wanted the "promotional webtoon" tag since I actually want to read the novels that the webtoon was promoting. If we had the tag, it would be easier for me to find novels to read.

One shots are in themselves completed or open ended stories in 1 chapter, but promotional webtoons are introduction to a whole long story.

I just like reading novels and want to have an easier time finding novels with interesting concepts from the promo webtoon.
