Ventus_Hikari That is for computer. Try to install some plugin on Chrome if you don't want to install anything on computer.

There is Ginger too. But Grammarly is bare minimum. You have to check them one by one tho.

I use several others website, HOWEVER this might change your writing style. So I don't suggest it. Even translation also don't mark to good on this. This next will make your novel more into MACHINE since they would make it better based on algorithm. You will lost rhythm and flow, etc. Warning: Use it at your risk.

  • After the Deadline -> To check whether you use the same name for side characters. For example my character Rabbink and Rabink. Rarely found wrong. I don't like its suggestion style. (I don't save my dictionary in Grammarly, if you do, this will be useless.)
  • Slickwrite -> To check whether I repeat too many words around the same paragraph. Sigh... Too many error. Confused to check one. Sometimes, red is necessity.
  • Grammark -> To reduce This is, I am, That is and useless word adding text. However,... Sigh... This made part of the story becoming too long and stressed me.
  • Hemmingway Editor -> SIGH! This is probably my doom. This make your novel easier to read for 'young people'. Most Webnovel reader are teenager above. However, this made me cut my sentences into shorter and shorter. Making the text not nicely flow. This made your novel easier to read for younger people. Grade means the grade school.

Using Ginger and Grammarly should be enough. There are more machine correction software, but those two is the king.

      Because you are starting as a novelist in Webnovel (QI), then I will wrote here what kind of contract that you will get if you try to go professional with them.

      Contract :

      1. First 200k words are free

      2. When you sign, they have the licensing rights to your novel so they can sell it anywhere.

      3. If you earn under $200, they do not have to pay you.

      4. If you earn over $200, they can delay any payment for up to 3 months.

      5. While under contract, if they ask you to do a book signing in China/Ph etc, then you must attend at your own expense.

      6. While contracted, they can tell you "suggestions" on how to make your story better for the readers (They tell you what to write).

      7. While contracted, they can hire someone else to write instead of you.

      8. If you can not comply with their "suggestions" they have the right to terminate your contract.

      9. If terminated, you must pay back ALL the money you've earned while under contract + any damage they foresee to charge you with.

      10. If terminated, they will try to get the copyright of your novel so they can sell it anywhere with 100% profit.

      11. All sales/ss/ad revenue will be split 50/50 with you and Webnovel.

      12. They have other charges too, so you'll really end up with about 30% of the profit, then if you've got editor/artist that you've got to pay, will become much less.

      13. All ss revenue will be for paying ss only, any free will not generate any money for you.

      14. This works in China!

        hoayuko hm? I have read this before, but was this is really the real term of contract? I read several post about the contract.
        The author of last wish system said it wasn't true the expend to china must be payed with your own wallet, and the suggestion, you didn't need to follow it if you don't want.
        I may a new author in WN, but I also some old reader who love checking post on forum 😊 well, not all post in the forum i checked.

            Ventus_Hikari According to the source, it is the current term. The author wrote it 3 days ago, unless since then it already got changed. I'm not a writer, so probably wont ever know the contract, but this what written there.

                To really correct things:

                1. If you earn under $200, they will accumulate it up and pay it to you at a later month (say $150 in September, and $100 October, you will get $250 in November)

                2. If you earn over $200, they can delay any payment for up to 3 months, but they don't do that in practice. The 3 months are there for any unforeseen circumstances due to accounting issues.

                3. If you are famous enough to even warrant a book signing, they will pay for it. If not, why would they even organize something and ask you to pay for it? They aren't a travel agent.

                4. If you are doing well, why would they go to the trouble hiring someone else to write for you? This clause is there for in the event that your book is really popular, and for some reason you die or get debilitated, they can still hire someone to continue your work.

                8,9. These terms are in the Chinese contract, and for 16 years, have never been used. Look at all the books that have been dropped by the Chinese authors.

                1. The copyright is already theirs. And if it sucks, no one will buy it anyway. If it's good, Webnovel will treat you like a king. Stop having dreams of grandeur before you even make it.

                2. Obviously, only paid SS counts. Why would free SS be worth anything? Just create infinite accounts and farm free SS to make a billion dollars?

                3. Precisely, and for 16 years, with several millionaires created a year. None of them have been screwed over by China Literature.

                  @CKtalon I think you guys need to make a post about the general term of contract for original author. Some people love to talk nonsense, as if they're staff who worked in WN. It better to clear the misunderstanding rather than make some clueless people believe those nonsense.
                  Well, this is just a suggestion.

                  NeoBee I should of put this attractive face of mine for the cover, right why didn’t I think of that. :) Honestly I couldn’t find a cover that would match my novel so I just drop it as a blank cover sigh... as for synopsis ah.. well you already know.

                      Mr_Handsome well, you can see all kind of synopsis in novel update. It's interesting and may help you how to write a good synopsis. Just like chapter in each novel, make your synopsis cliffhanger so the readers will become curious and then read your novel. 😊

                          Ventus_Hikari Well before starting a novel I have never thought the difficulties of it until I tried it myself. I think it is a good learning a experience don’t you think so?

                              Ventus_Hikari

                              Looking at your synopsis I'd just say to be mindful about how many exclamation marks you use. There's so many that I feel quite overwhelmed. Personally I wouldn't recommend using them in narration at all, just in dialogue that require that extra something.

                              I'm going to try and give you some constructive criticism for the first chapter. Also, I’m by no means a good writer, nor do I claim to be, but yeah.

                              First of all, try not to repeat words too closely together.

                              Example: “Sound of weapon clashing resound from a forest called Misty Rain Forest.“

                              Forest called Misty Rain Forest is just awkward to read. If you want to keep it somewhat the same, you can try to restructure the sentence. You could also just cut out most of it so it read “Sound of weapon clashing resound from the Misty Rain Forest.“

                              There’s no need to tell us that the Misty Rain Forest is a forest. This way the sentence flows a lot better. Try to keep it in mind when you’re writing and you’ll probably notice a lot of places that could be changed. You may feel like pulling your hairs out at times while trying to figure out how to change sentences. Do it anyway, you’ll be a better writer for it.

                              Second of all, it may have been said, but I really have to mention the grammar. Unfortunately there are a lot of mistakes.

                              Also try to work more body language into your narration. Frowns, smiles, wide eyes, shaking, nose flares, etc etc.

                              Finally I actually have to commend you on managing to start most of your sentences variedly. You didn’t have too many repeats of he, his or the in a row.

                              But yeah, the grammar is always going to be holding you back.

                                  hoayuko Man I am all for freedome of information but you are just being a troll. This author isnt going professional. At most you should offer some advice on the terms and conditions of posting a novel here, this thread HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with going on contract because YOU DONT HAVE TO.

                                  You're just being a troll with this copy-paste bullshit on every thread. While the terms arent great, no one has to accept them, but that is an argument for another thread. STOP trolling.

                                    Ventus_Hikari

                                    My advice is.

                                    Just write.
                                    Use Snoozy's advice regarding aids for grammar and spelling. Also use http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/amazing?s=t
                                    Listen, learn, dont be disheartened.

                                    My First 200,000 words were poor. My second 200,000 words were a lot better. I am up to a million words now and some ppl think I am ok.

                                    Like any skill you master with practice. Its usually 10,000 hours to master a skill.

                                        Ventus_Hikari Being a third party I am able to see more, even I would go back to my previous chapter. Rereleasing them and found that I displaced some words that are not even suppose to be there. 😊

                                            Reread how it turned into releasing I don’t know 😂
