Webnovel.Forum

I was just reading The Lecherous Cultivation System and author dropped some chapters and said webnovel was going to get rid of r18 stuff so he wasn't going to waste his time trying to write a story only for it to be taken down.

I completly understand him and he is right but the issue is wtf. Why so suddenly, doesn't webnovel has like many many r18 stuff, ESPECIALLY fanfiction. Their fanfiction is %80 harem wishfulling r18 stuff. They can't possiblly do that can they
Please tell me this is a joke.

If they do that they should get rid of everything that has R-18 content, including their novels. FL novels will be basically excluded, as there are scenes of lingerie and provocations in the R-18 environment. And on top of that it will take a grand part of the range of writers and readers, probably grand part will migrate to the RoyalRoad.

And if they want to remove these contents, why not remove their novels, which have constant rapes from the FL's, that the purpose already has a community that highly criticizes this type of content. If we went because it was improper, I believe that novels with rape on the webnovel are much worse than CONSENSUAL novels that are R-18.

They won't delete the r18 stuff, they just won't contract original novels that have r18 things. You can still write them and all that.

ThyUnknownSaint WebNovel, does not listen to readers, The replacement of Spirits Stones, the lack of videos to access paid chapters, the prejudiced and racist content, sometimes, and now they want to remove the R-18 novels.
What will come next? Allow only readers who subscribe to Premium?

lynerparel Who said it would only be the contractors? The author stated that the team will REMOVE them.

SlothRuler like I said I talked to one of the editors, which talked to that writer. What he said was he couldn't make a contract with r18 material. But the writer could still write the novel, it won't be taken down. It will just remain not contracted.

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.

lynerparel

If they remove this content, then I agree with the contractual restriction. But being partial to the company's headquarters, qidian, and criticizing the originals is too much.

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.

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.

JJeditor oh. I think this is a good move. A really good step for WN.

It's always r18 content. Finally you find something worth reading, censorship comes in your way.

JJeditor So long story short, as long as the story main focus is not really r18, it can still work? With little bits of r18 here and there? That's what you mean?

SlothRuler You came up, stirred the discussion basing on lacking information and now demand the WN to explain their business decision here? What for? Since when do you have the right to demand them to tell you what they want and don't want to do? It's not like anything is changed for the readers.

Also, your nick is a lie. You ain't my ruler.

MotivatedSloth I legit thought that guy was you for a sec and you got a name change.

But his arguments were nothing like yours, so I doubted...

MotivatedSloth Since when do you have the right to demand them to tell you what they want and don't want to do?

It's called entitlement.

MotivatedSloth So the SlothRuler stirred the discussion based on lacking information and now we have a MotivatedSloth that wants to stir up a discussion based on misinformation. Is this some sort of sloth culture thing?)

While ’demand’ can be considered synonymous to ’ask’(The term that SlothRuler actually used), but the same could be said for ’request’, ’beseech’ and even ’beg.

The dude merely implored webnovel to notify it’s costumers about
changes that might affect their user experience while using this platform. Meanwhile, you came along and went to great length to present his words From a negative perspectivon.

P.S. God, I hate this forum’s interface. The text box was jumping all over the screen while I was typing this up and now I’m dizzy af.)

Dont remove r-18 contents just get rid of kids flys away

xeacarons ...did you actually read the thread?

xeacarons ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sythcake
I am not a native English speaker, so I use translator, the misinterpretation of some words must be due to this factor.

xeacarons Let me sum up for you. The whole thing was a misunderstanding. Webnovel is not getting rid of R-18 content. Guy was just salty that Webnovel rejected his request for a contract, and decides to remove everything.

Tomoyuki Ooff, you're right. I don't why people love that novel that heavily focuses on r18 with badly written paragraphs(Not the grammar, but how he construct every paragraph). I guess the majority of the people here is a man of culture
