I will not comment on, webnovel contracts, as I heard they been improved.

I will say a company does not have to be 'nice,' in order to profit. And considering recent politics China business practices are not what most of the world considers 'Nice.'

    CKtalon That's a easy question to answer. Once you have a monopoly of a single desired item in an area It would not be hard to make money. You have to be ruthless and take out your competitors first before you start acting like assholes toward your authors. Why do you think Web novel was yelled at for trying to take Novels as their own from other people that pain painstakingly translated them for their whole life once they first opened their branch in the US. They were used to this method in china to take out competitors so now they have to take the nice guy approach and slowly build up. If they do win in the end people will act like its the norm after a while just like it was in china. It's sickening. It's a practice I hate most. It's business and that in the end will be our downfall.

        AzureWolf Don't be fooled by rhetoric of others as it is in their interests to put Webnovel down.

        Notice how only the licensed books were taken? Why aren't highly popular novels like Martial World, The Charm of Soul Pets, Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World, etc not 'stolen'? By your logic, they can just wrestle their way through simply because of their copyright of the original source.

        It's because it was totally in their right to do so.

        Again, just because 'copyright' is important, doesn't mean that the copyright is commercially valuable. If it's not valuable, no one will spend money developing it (ie, continuing the story for the author, etc). And if it's valuable, the author is the golden goose; there's no reason to milk a story when a new story might do even better.

        So to call it a slave contract when many people are happy to sign it, especially when none of them suffer any of the negative clauses is moot. It's there to protect a company; that's what the legal department is there for. Whether it is enforced (and it isn't) or whether the company bothers to enforce it is another issue.

                Why was it banned?

                  Reinesse Nothing to do with racism.

                  Skaz It's due to nepotism as written in the story.

                      whats the last chapter before it getting banned? Any new info about this story? Are this story still banned?

                        Willy_Hartanto Around 1696. Nothing. It's still banned. Author can't do much and is preparing a new story at the moment.

                            Too bad, there's no closure to the story of IRAS :(
