Cobyboy ok thank you that cleared things up for me.
ORIGINAL AUTHORS: Something all of you need to know.

whe Sure got a mouth on you now. Few months ago you were too busy humping Bai, Pegaz and CKs legs while crying about your book and begging for reviews so seeing this aggresive side of you must mean your balls have dropped finally.
If you quit trash talking and starting shit nearly every day on the forums or in discord and focused on you instead your story might have been worth a damn. But as it stands you're failing in here and Amazon. No idea where your confidence sprouted from.
Zogarth1337 Point flew over your head as well.
Tell me, if Amazon wasn't around do you think everyone asking questions would know more or less about a real publishers contract? Cause they all are Amazon experts right now.
But Amazon is around what does it matter! Because my point wasn't about Amazon it was about the difference between real publishers and the WN contract. Which is why I elaborated further in my post.

Gamblejay LMAO when the fuck did ever kiss up to any of them? I also never begged for reviews, you retard.
Also, I haven't been in the discord for weeks/months, and I only talk on the forums once every few weeks. So, where the hell are your claims coming from?
I'm doing quite well on Amazon, actually. I have two books out getting me over 500 bucks a month, consistently, which is better than most people. Course, Memory Seal isn't doing too well, but oh well. But that's just pocket money. My actual job is day trading, means I get to work at home and make more money than the average American. Plus, I own my own two bedroom condo in DC at the ripe age of 23. So yeah, I'm pretty confident. Life is good, man.
I mean, sorry. What have you done in your life to lecture me on shit?
Oof, nothing to pull out anymore. At least you have a sense of humor :)

Well, going back to why this discussion was opened, I guess, as a reminder, if you are presented with a contract, PLEASE SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL before doing anything with a contract (signing or rejecting it).
And since we have authors who are not of legal age as well, another reminder to you all, please talk to your parents/legal guardians about contracts and have them review for you.
Whether the contents of the breakdown are true or not is still unclear. There may be some confusion about wording. Person A took it to mean "X" while Person B thinks it mean "Y". What if both were actually wrong and webnovel's stance is it meaning "Z".
Contracts are tricky, especially if we don't know our way around them. Best is to check with someone with a legal background who deals with contracts.
AzurePanda There's no reason to. Even if it's posted, people will just misinterpret it to delude the masses.
Besides, not everyone will be given a contract. It's up to those who are given a contract to decide. There's no need for third parties to interject.
Velixar Nope. Contracted novel stays on the top since they have appearance in Suggestion, Ladies' Pick, New to Webnovel, and especially RECOMMENDED.
That bring massive readers and voters. (Accept it, sometimes, you vote for the first one you read.). After the top, it is even more readers who will read your novel. Since people looked at the top first before moving downward.
LWS even had Banner and Apps Ads which boosted the novel. Other didn't have until the Mech Touch obtained a banner.
This adsvertisement is even better than translation. However, few popular translation had 'ads' in outside like FB, etc.
[unknown] Third parties are not to interject with others signing a contract, but it's still the customers' decision whether they support a company handing out such contracts to its authors. Not all, but some customers wanna know where their product is from, what the conditions for their production are etc( just have a look at the number of ecoseals on food products)
MasterRabbink is correct. You have been schooled by the master.
Velixar Actually, what you said was just wrong. All novels reset their powerstone counts end of the week. That would be Sunday GMT+8 2400H or Monday GMT + 8 0000H (both are technically the same time but whatever works).
So I'm not sure what else there is to really say.
@MasterRabbink was simply explaining why most contracted author work have higher placements in the ranking, which is their front page presence (granted this does not apply to all contracted but that is more the exception and not the rule/norm).

NinjaScroll Now i get it why many author's (fanfic author's mostly) as much as i know choose to create patreon account.
