  • Powerstones for my book disappeared suddenly

Hi,
My book link is https://m.webnovel.com/book/stand-by-me-darling_12969142206240705
Suddenly all the powerstones disappeared sometime ago and I cannot find my book in app search results too.
When I checked in webnovel website, it says that my book doesn't support powerstones because it has less than 15000 words. But I have 215 chapters with an average of 1.6k words.
Can someone help?

    Same here, I asked customer support. They said some editors are checking quality and doing review... BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT R THEY REVIEWING FOR! I don't have any explicit content or any covers even swear words! Power ranking will be dropped. I have asked for TAT time, but they din't say anything......just asked to wait patiently!

    There is third party review going on with webnovel as stated in discord on 26th September to removed explicit content, tags, cover etc. I have removed tags. Cover was decent from the start, no content in chapters too. But still it;s not showing

        mona_keshwari Thank you so much. This is my second book and this has never happened to me before. My book doesn't have any questionable content either. Wonder what this is about.

            You're welcome :)

            Have u checked chapter wise for any words? I don't know too, they said to wait patiently. They din't give any specific time. Really disappointing power stones and ranking will be effected!

                It's not a bother :) Yes it's true. My novel is facing this issue so is others. I din't even have any explicit content, covers, words in chapters etc

                    mona_keshwari
                    Me too, well that is if ecchi and harem are considered explicit XD (curse words I don't use much besides the ocasional shit/crap or damn, and I don't consider these to be curse words in all honesty)

                    But why this, all of the sudden? Did something happen or are they trying to make this more family friendly?

                        Shionokami

                        I don't think those considered as explicit too, if they r going to make it family friendly almost all novels should be removed then. there's a third party review going on, so they have to remove explicit content. But I find it so funny, contracted works have explicit covers but they are not removed art all. They can receive powerstones very well. Really disappointing,(I'm not pointing out anyone, I just saw one random novel cover and checked it)

                            mona_keshwari
                            Yup, I have to agree with you on that one there are a few covers that leave almost no room for imagination and the characters might as well be naked (I have seen stuff XD) and they're like "It's ok", honestly sometimes I don't get this.
                            By the way, this 3rd party review, does it mean there's another company/site taking a look at webnovel and the things published here?

                              mona_keshwari
                              I haven't heard of that!
                              But well I'm kind of guilty as I don't have a discord so I didn't know.
                              But, I think I'm in the safe here like I said the tags in my novel that should cause any trouble are the ecchi and harem tags (but then again I don't think they're a problem) and the cover that I have is the one provided by the website, so I think I'm in the clear on this one.
                              By the way what is you're novel about?

                                  Here the message for you as u said u din't have discord

                                  JJ: @ everyone
                                  Dear Authors,

                                  As our site is undergoing a review of our content by a third party in the near future, we will need to temporarily hide works with mature content and tags. This will take effect between September 28 to September 30. In order to avoid this happening to your work, please remove the sensitive contents from your book, namely:

                                  1. Book covers that are more sexual in nature (E.g. people in suggestive poses, people in various states of undress etc.)
                                  2. Temporarily remove more sensitive tags (E.g. R-18, smut, etc.)

                                  Any book that fail to do so will be temporarily hidden from the site for the duration of the review.

                                  Thank you for your cooperation!
