There is a hand full of accounts that are just spamming Original Works with 1 chapter novels the are just spam with like 20 originals per account and there is at least 10 different accounts that are doing. It is really annoying scrolling though the new section and having to look though the spam chapters to find actual novels. Please delete these spam novels! :D
Please delete the hundreds of Spam books in the original works sections!
Are you referring to EXP books? Or dropped titles? EXP books are used to "ethically cheat" (oxymoron of the century) the system for SS. Unless WN fixes up their catalog system that has a lot of fixes needed and stops granting SS for reviews and comments, they probably can't do much about it.
Veronica8 No not those the novels are all titled like this (바카라카지노〔ざ「 DMF32。COM 」ざ〕블랙잭카지노) and the only have 1 chapter with the that repeated over and over again. The accounts made like 20 novels and post them in different genres, just go to the genres and go to new under original works and there is a bunch.(check fan-fiction) There is a bunch of different accounts doing this and there was even like at least 5 accounts that have the same username just with different numbers at the end all with 20 novels.

Weqqy Aah. Yeah. Now that my mention it. These have just recently popped up. This is a tricky one, since they're from accounts.
@CKtalon @Webnovel_Staff is there anything that can be done for spam books flooding the catalog? Like below? I discovered these in magical realism/original/new filter. I believe these are popping up everywhere.
Fortunately WN doesn't have HTML installed to books, so malicious code is not easily activated from a link. Still, there are clever ways for a DoS attack. If you could look into to at least confirm it isn't a site security issue. That'll be good.
This is getting insane all I see the spam books in the new sections @Webnovel_Staff Please delete these i have given up on reporting them there is just too many of them! Please bump so they see this!
Bump

Wattpad had this issue at one point about 3 years ago. It actually looks to be the same company/spammer. They're adverting sketchy sites where you can play casino and card games, presumably to win "real" money. Back on Wattpad, all the covers were women in underwear so at least these don't have covers.
Anyway, I went to look for originals and noticed the same thing. Seriously disappointing. Gotta find another way to find books.
lenapresents I remember that. It was weird.
