Hello there, Webnovel moved the old fanfics genre which was under "Original Novels" into a brand new category, and officially named it Fanfic at the top. Fanfic genre currently has a few subcategories. You can get all those stories by updating your app to the latest version. (We haven't 100% released it to everyone yet)

In addition, fanfic needs authors to fill in a few basic info in advance if writers would like to publish new chapters. It requires author to add Topic/Theme of the title. Authors can also indicate characters of the story now. Later on, readers can search through characters and theme topics to get the right title for their entertainment.

However, there are over tens of thousands of fanfics still missing these info (because the old system never asked the authors to provide them, and isn't the fault of the authors). At this stage, all uncategorized titles (which means missing either subcategory under fanfic or no theme) will be arranged into "Other" until authors put all required info.

Aside from that, in the translation field, there were some CN novels which are considered relatives to ACG (animation, comic, game), they will be still staying in the ACG genre.

    how long wil it take before it's done?

      What am I supposed to write in the topic category? How does it differ from synopsis?

        How I can acceess the ranking menu?
        I didn't see it anywhere

          what i hate about fan-fic is the fact that most of them are dropped and the authors are unable to sustain the story most of the time so if possible such stories\authors who are unable\dropped should just be erase cause its just annoyance

            banini Sometimes writing fan-fic is harder than writing an original novel, cause if you do it right you will have good fan-fic, but even slightest mistake could ruin the entire story and make it just some non-sense without any purpose... I personally dropped my novel Darkness of the Legends precisely because of that...

              It's day four since the Fan-fiction section became desolated. My rations are getting low now. What I wouldn't give for some freshwater. Fruit, maybe! Something to fight off the scurvy. And Bananas!

              ...Arrgh, why do I torture myself like this?! Webnovel won't fix the Fan-fiction section. It's all desert here now. I might as well wish for a chicken and a big barrel of grog for all the good it will do me.

              Oh, my sweet Elain. Am I destined to starve out here in the desert? Destined to never again browse through a list of fan-fictions from the comfort of my computer? Destined to never again read fan-fiction at webnovel.com again?

                The fanfictions on the site are still there and can still be read. It is just that they don't show up when browsing anymore. So if you were already reading one, you can keep reading it. Also, you can search by name if you already knew the name of the story you want to read. So, not all hope is yet lost.

                If you want a fic to tide you over while webnovel works on fixing their stuff, I can shamelessly recommend my own fanfiction which I wrote for novel Release that Witch, also on this site. It is completed and over 100k words, so it could fill your need for a little while. The name of my fic is called A Helping Hand.

                    What do I do because of this problem I wasn't able to publish the new chapters of my book..?

                      Does China not beta test without total implementation? Over a week, and still no timeline, or updates on when fan-fic is back. It feels they rolled out an alpha stage idea, and are still trying to make it work live, instead of a small portion of beta testers.
