Public character "Highest Rating" ordering needs improvement.
Currently
When I sort my character by highest rating,it’s hard to navigate since it is only sorted by average rating then ? (Probably date published)
So it gives weird situations where one 5 stars review will be shown before three 5 star reviews.
So here’s what I would suggest:
Simple solution: sort by rating then number of rate descending.
It would already be a very appreciated improvement that the 22 five stars rating would be over rhe 18 five stars one.
Alternative value solution : Sort on an average rating with two extra 3 stars vote.
A simple strategy to really make the characters with lots of high rating shine.
A few examples
One 5 star rating = 3.66 (vs 5)
Two 5 star ratings = 4 (vs 5)
Twenty 5 start ratings = 4.81 (vs 5)
One 5 star and one 1 star = remains 3
Eighteen 5 star, Five 4 star, one 1 stst= 4.68 (vs 4.82)
It would give a much more natural order of ratings.
However, it may be more confusing as well for the user seeing a 4.68 average rating over a 5 star averafe rating, for example.

The problem is that not many people rate characters. It’s not uncommon for a character to have 100 downloads and 0 reviews. Also, a person may click on a character and found out it was not what he was expecting so he gives it a one star. That completely tanks the character in the current rating system because so few people bother to rate the characters. For example, a user gave one of my character a 1 star and said he’d give it a 0 star if he could. So, I looked at some other new characters that were released at the same time and found a 5 star review from the same user for a BDSM character that punishes men for shitting in their diapers. I’m glad I got a one star rating from that asshole.

Yeah I saw that too often even on my characters, and some characters that had absolutely no reason to be rated one star, hence why I suggested the “Sort on an average rating with two extra 3 stars vote.” Malus. It really focuses more on the rating count or the true rating.
I also saw suspicious characters that are from the same author rated one star from the same user, all the time.
But as you say, few rate characters. I think it’s mostly because the rating isn’t accessible enough. It’s always the same problem. There should be a star rating available NEAR the character portraits in chats that does not need you to actually open the public character entry to rate it if this is where we want to go.
