Skully_ This is why CKTalon is a good role model during Patreon Translation era. While we don't know how he shared to original author, but he shared something to the chinese author.
WW is also pioneering licensed translations. I believe original author would get something from Amazon sales. I don't know about the patreon income. Some people argued authors didn't get that share.
MasterRabbink Some people argued authors didn't get that share.
pure as the driven snow. :P
SweetsTomato the author on webnovel is the one who published first
trashuwu you tell him/her the novel published in wattpad under different name. If he/she don't give permission to published outside webnovel, let him/her make DMCA report in wattpad
SweetsTomato Actually Webnovel and Qidian as the publisher could DMCA. Perhaps that is a form of hidden advertising by Webnovel to promote the genre. Not everyone could read here.
If Webnovel is serious, they should have a team of legal department specially DMCA the hosting website, hosting providers, google, etc.
MasterRabbink Yeah, at one point, they filed one against the entire WW website, including all the novels they don’t own lol. Imagine trying to get the entire YouTube site taken down for some videos on the site that you owned.
MasterRabbink did they care with uncontracted original novel that published here?
I don't think so 
What book is it?
SweetsTomato They couldn't do anything for uncontracted. Contracted = giving an ownership to Webnovel. Without an ownership or 'exclusive' distribution deal they can't DMCA. An author must DCMA it himself/herself.
Only the owner or somone with legal representative to represent copyright holder could report the DMCA.
So it will be good If author become translator of their own novels...
AsterAnemone Then there will be no new chapter. Translating is not easy. Writing is not easy. Double not easy = Game Over for poor author. At best an author could be a reader to 'check'.
