How do you filter novel releases? only novels...

I doubt it is possible since it is not a genre. That would be good if it was added though as well as oneshots. In my case to filter them out.

At the bottom where it says type, click "Only show results for Novel"

I didn't saw that. Still it only applies to searches. You can't apply it to your release filters.

It would be amazing if the "Type" section of the advance search was similar to the "Genre" section in that it would allow us to choose if we want to include or exclude those items.

For example: I would like to include Manga, Manhwa, and Manhua in a search but excluded all the others. Currently, there is no way of doing that. As of right now, I can only run separate searches for each of those with the appropriate "Only show results for ..." selected. Mostly I would love a way of filtering out "Novels." I agree that they should be listed on the site and am thankful that they add the would "Novel" behind the title link in searches so that I know before clicking on it. Its just that with their recent surge in popularity I have found many of my searches cluttered with Novels.

Can "Novel" be added under "Genre," just as "Doujinshi" was?
