Oof, nothing to pull out anymore. At least you have a sense of humor :)
ORIGINAL AUTHORS: Something all of you need to know.
- Edited
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.
And this, boys and girls, is why you go and get published with an actual publishing house, and not with this fly-by-night Chinese piece of shit company

Clowniac Well, the previous one was originally posted by a contracted author, then I supported it by saying that the staff said it wasn't legit, so my support is flawed in your mind, that does not mean my original argument is... that was extra support NOT the full argument.
remember, the words it was said if you click on those words you will see what I mean by my original argument.

Zehell2218 Isn't that what you claim for free everything, bonus ss as they called? It's free so this doesn't count as a revenue source. I just don't know how WN segregate the paid stones and the free stones shrugs
