How do we make Japanese stop adapting bad web novels? (or making them in first place)

Sounds like a good name for a LN.
By not watching them.
After immersing myself in vidiya I discovered that playing as overpowered protagonist in action game is hella fun. Then it hit me. People who write web novels don't want to write a book, they want to make a game. However, making a game, a sufficiently impressive one, would require efforts of a dozen or several dozens of people. Simply building up to a point where one has those in his disposition requires shitton of either time or money. And so author uses web novel medium as a shortcut. (Wanting a game stage may be subconscious. Either way, games and not books are primary inspiration for web novel author, whether he realizes it or not)
And this is where pitfall comes. Literature doesn't work like games work. By making protagonist perfect one makes it impossible to develop him, and by making undevelopable character a first-person narrator author locks himself out of writing a character-driven or plot-driven story. Character who has already driven to the top has nowhere to drive other than to bottom. Plot-driven story would require protagonist to to challenged and perfect character can't be challanged. As for an action-driven story, there are more appropriate mediums for it (like games, duh).
Bottom line: web novel authors delve into medium they don't understand.

But they aren't, they're made into LN first.

We don't have any power in the matter.

>a medium they don't understand
In a way
Because it's like trying to project a 4-dimensional object on a 2d-plane of existence, so many things are gonna get lost that what remains is pretty much just a shadow of the original

So that's where D20-likes come from!

I meant Pen-and-Paper RPG's.

This is fucking on point. After reading Re:Monster, I scoured the internet looking for a game with similar mechanics. It's not a good novel but it would make a top-tier JRPG.
