SlothRuler I think the author misunderstood the conversation with the editor.

lynerparel Let's face it, the difference between what will happen if you remove them or not by hiring them will be minimal. Do you think that the authors, especially those who aim at hundreds of chapters, will still write knowing that they do not have the hope of a contract?
It is the same as saying: Before you worked for me with minimal hopes, now you will work without any.

SlothRuler Well, I'm just saying that the information relayed is flawed. The r18 stuff won't be removed by webnovel. If it would be removed that would be by the writer's hand. I just wanted to clarify things, that's all.

lynerparel
I only feel bad for the authors. Some of them reached more than 100 chapters and they could be hired soon, due to the amount of power stones they were receiving. Now basically they are not going to have the same focus and desire to write as before.

SlothRuler Not really sure about the specifics, so even my information might be flawed. It's better to ask an editor or a staff member or something regarding this situation. I just relayed my understanding of what was told to me. :)

lynerparel I miss WebNovel from the beginning.

SlothRuler There's also the possibility that if it only has elements of r18 stuff, and not fully r18 it might work.

SlothRuler There were fewer rules then, well it just means webnovel is growing.

lynerparel But the question is what they will consider. For we probably have genocide, rape, ethnocide, brutality, psychopaths, international racism, mainly Japanese, in most of the translated content. They're basically saying: I can do bad things, but you can't.

SlothRuler That's the loophole people need to figure out. What makes r18 truly r18.

SlothRuler Well, the rules are kinda loose there. But originals are mostly from foreign writers and have a different set of rules.

lynerparel It must be remembered that they made WebNovel to enter western lands. If they put so many restrictions on writers who are used to greater freedom of expression, how did they spread a wider audience?

SlothRuler I don't really have an answer to that at this point. I guess I'll just take a wait and see attitude.

lynerparel Most of the time it doesn't work. There are valid complaints about their original content that is inappropriate and several other problems, but they simply give the reader another face.

Not true. Webnovel is moving away from contracting R18 works that focuses purely on the R18 aspects. If the R18 content is not the focal point of the story, Webnovel will still contract it. This is because Webnovel is starting to advertise books outside of Webnovel and we are unable to advertise R18 books as the content could get our IP banned.

We will NOT remove books with R18 content on our site unless it contains controversial content like underage sexual intercourse or of a political nature. So writers of wholesome R18 content can rest assured that no actions will be taken against your books of culture.

Lecherous Cultivation System had asked for a contract for the book from us a few days before, but was informed that because the book contained mainly R18 content, we are unable to contract it. We have already explained the reasoning to the author but it seems that the author was not able to understand that we will only refuse to contract the book, not remove it entirely.

JJeditor Thanks for the clarification

SlothRuler There are authors out there who write solely for the purpose of writing.

Thanks for the clarification. But I would like to ask you to clarify the future updates of the webnovel in the forum, since most came here through comments from the author, so further clarification would be more appropriate for both readers and content creators.
