  • Petition, make Webnovel a better place! Pls like to create more Attention!!!

SuperSilentSin To make money with Webnovel. An author HAS to license their character/novel with webnovel/Qidian/Tencent. That is in the contract. Tencent make Qidian and therefore webnovel for the sole reason to gain Intellectual Property. (Read the economic sites).

They want to become the Disney of China. They had Zhang Xuan now. The Master Teacher would be a good attraction if they made a 'movie', a game, an animation, a manga, or perhaps a theme part attraction. They would marketed your novel, but you have to give them your 'characters'.

Perhaps seeing Master Teacher Zhang Xuan as a character in Arena of Valor or League of Legends? Perhaps Yale Roanmad next?

A common author couldn't do that. They had to partner with Tencent if they want to do that. WW or RR couldn't do that. Even Wattpad couldn't do that. This is the power of Tencent.

      yeah, I understand what you mean but why one or the other? they could simply keep contracted works and those get better deals. After all, they can get 12 SS and ads are only worth 4? So for authors, there is still a point in getting contracted. There is no reason to make it all or nothing...
      And the thing with the characters in video games... doesn't the author profit from that as well? at least it sounded last time like that I read them talking about it?

        still you need some sort of measure and if you sell your book for example, on amazon, you also have these ratings. its better than nothing, even if not always fair.

        I think the ss system they have is very messy and now premium novels have stopped updating on a daily basis. This will definitely affect the community here. If they have a subscription-based system I will gladly pay them monthly/yearly. Something like 4$ or 5$ per month for no ads is reasonable. They can follow the same method as Crunchyroll.

        SuperSilentSin I believe WN would hire all author. If you are confident with your quality, you can contact WN (they made a Google Docs.) WN also come to authors in Top 10 at least. I believe WN had opened a new 'wave' of contracted originals.

        For the last, that is the dream, but even in Qidian... Only few had good merchandising opportunity. Author would get some share perhaps... it is 50:50 WN and the authors, based on Qidian system that some staffs mentioned before. For example Amazon is 70:30 (30 for you. If you give them exclusivity 30:70.)

            why make webnovel better when we have another choice that 1000 way better without work hard for webnovel and we got almost nothing? Let webnovel die and another translator group take the project. Its not worth it to make wn better when they take everything away from you

                I think Amazon takes 30% you get 70%. Isn't that their standard? I informed myself a little about them and what it costs to place products their and everyone says that Amazon gets 30%... and you the owner 70%. just think about it! otherwise, you could sell the stuff through your own shop for half the price and still earn more.

                    Face_Smacking_Dao lol if u think so why bother staying here answering my comment ;) there is something keeping you here and that is the reason why I want this place to become better for everyone.

                        SuperSilentSin No. 70% is if you are exclusive with them. Your own shop? Making people dare to put their credit card number is hard... There is a google docs that you could fill if you want to contact Webnovel.

                            [unknown] today there are man companies with solutions for the payment you can use. For real maybe books need 70 percent but in Germany at least it's only 30% for normal products. I looked books up and they seem to have different regularities for them

                                  SuperSilentSin ?? Payment solution is not that high. However, for example Android and iOS Apple and Google take 30% of any in app purchase.

                                  For Amazon they had 2 method. Exclusive and Not. If you sign for exclusive you will get 70% of revenue (you can also join Kindle Unlimited), Amazon took 30%. If you didn't (in example, you want to keep publishing in other avenue, like in Apple iBook or Google Play Book, or perhaps to host it for free in your sites.) you will get only 35% of the sales while Amazon kept 65%.
