the inkstone is so messed up
I have publish six chapter, it was appeared in the web novel correctly, but then a day after I published the 6th chapter, I updated the 5th chapter because there is something that I fixed in the 5th chapter
But after I checked, the new 5th chapter didnt appeared, it was still old one. I thought it just need sometimes before updating itself. But the next day, I checked again, the 5th chapter was disappeared in the web novel!! and the 6th chapter become 5th
Even though in the inkstone the chapters was appeared correctly.
I decided to try updating the 7th chapter just in case the bug will be corrected then. But, After I checked in the web novel, it doesnt appeared, and after I checked the inkstone again, it turned out there is a word of "blocked" beside the 5th and 7th chapter's title while other chapters is normal
I am really confused. I tried to update 8th chapter to see the result. But instead it is blocked again, the 8th chapter appeared normal!!! it is so messed up

the chapter list that was appeared
in the web novel : while in the inkstone :
1. chapter 1....................1. chapter 1
2. chapter 2....................2. chapter 2
3. chapter 3....................3. chapter 3
4. chapter 4................... 4. chapter 4
5. chapter 6....................5. chapter 5
6. chapter 8....................6.. chapter 6
.........................................7. chapter 7
.........................................8. chapter 8

I tried to update the 9th chapter, but it is blocked again the inkstone
in the end, I deleted all chapter except chapter 1-4
but in web novel, they was still appeared as before, but in the library they show the novel only have 4 chapters!! but after I opened it to see, the chapters inside is still messed up.

What do you think I should do? I am debating whether to delete all chapter, created a new novel, or not continued at all, since the inkstone is so messed. Is there any sign the webnovel will corrected the inkstone?

    Inkstone becomes the victim of Webnovel staffs avoiding public page. Bless us Original Author. WN lucky, WW didn't have a original author submission platform.

      Froschmo It likely has to do with your chapters having illegal characters (non-English words). Is that the case? Once one of your chapters get flagged, the rest (if you edit) will also get flagged as blocked.

          CKtalon I dont think so, I checked it was all english, or do you think a non english name also include? If so, what about all novel with chinese named character? Almost all novel have a chinese word

              MasterRabbink yeah, it is irresponsible for them. Or dont tell me they only fix the bugs from their contrated author? I dont see they have any problem

                  Froschmo Nope... The Dev usually came and quickly try to find the bug. However, the community currently flaming any 'staff' in sight. It is dangerous time to be a staff of Webnovel. All experienced this bug.

                      MasterRabbink I dont need any reply from the staff actually, just need them to read the bug reports and fix them, its fine as long as the bugs is gone if they wanted to avoid the flame

                        Froschmo As long as you write that Chinese name with the Latin alphabet that shouldn't be a problem. It would be a problem if you used the Chinese characters, though.

                            if not mistaken, that a filter blocking to stop spammer from flooding the original story with chinese character lately

                              Froschmo I'd like to know, too. Because neither did I and I still can't change the settings for the novel 😅

                              Oh, the one thing I remember that I'd see as pretty common but that was a problem before were "<" and ">". Maybe you have those inside?

                                  Froschmo Ah, I just saw in another thread that the bug seems to be fixed. I tried it just now with the settings of my novel and it indeed seems to be the case. So maybe you should try again now :)

                                      Froschmo Shouldn't be. But it's the same problem with non-English characters for either the synopsis or the chapters. The "[" and "]" aren't a problem, though. I'm using them in next to every chapter and didn't have any problems with that.

                                          3 months later

                                          It happened to me and should I just repost it all? I mean the chapter that was block was the first chapter and all the other chapters moved backwards.

                                            2 years later

                                            My Novel has this Blocked thing when it must be a Serializing
