So I have found this translated book originated on webnovel on another website, wattpad. It seems like the person who created it did not give much credits to the original owner from webnovel. It did not seems like the she asked the owner about it before publishing on another website. I tried to report about it but they told me original owner must be the one who can report. Help, I don't know what to do as I am not sure of how to contact original owner too!!

    trashuwu what book is it? Maybe they have a discord or something? If not you can try and reply to the author's post or something.

        trashuwu ask the author about this. Tell him/her if he/she the author of the story in wattpad or not, if she/he not the author, tell to put the credit on the real author.
        By the way, which one published first?
        Many author here also write in another platform like wattpad, patreon or royalroad

            trashuwu simple it must be the original owner and its easy for them to file a DCMA. The only thing you can do to help if you want to is try and contact the original owner and let them know.

                Velixar Actually this is a contract dispute. WW vs Qidian. Based on legal arguments, we don't know the real contract.

                Each of the two thinks they are correct based on the same contract.

                    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.

                        Skully_ exactly! Someone stated that amd the author on wattpad said I credited it in tags but it does not seems like she asked before uploading

                          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.
