Lol, pedophilia is legal, but incest is banned because it's immoral, unethical, and disguising.
And this is Webnovel.
Do u think its okay to write a ch*ld p*rn cuz its fictional?
If u dl the app from the USA, the European Union or Singapore, you can actually sue Webnovel for that.

MissCringeyAuthor in this website, it is so legal. They allow child rape, and they have a supporting audience. I tired to report them, but it's useless.
EroJaki From my understanding, although it is not banned, such novels will never be contracted as it has controversial content. Novels with incest and underage rape fall within that.
However, that may have changed now as all new books require to go through a vetting system before it can be published. Then again, it's not like one would really post such controversial content in the first chapter itself ... /shrugs
I saw quite a few of it being contracted lol...
Avidfan Then perhaps the controversial content came after the contract was concluded or the person-in-charge didn't review the book properly. I doubt such books would pass now, and/or if complained about, it would most likely be removed.
Pure speculation though.
No idea...i actually tot that webnovel is a porno website:X
Avidfan
AHAHAHAHA ... considering one would normally have to search for such novels (since it's usually CEO novels being out in front), one then wonders (not) about the novels you come across to come to that impression.
/heh
Smut is ok with proper characters age but I don't like rape novels... I think its too insensitive to those who are real victims of rape. It is as if the author is mocking them by romanticizing it. -_-//

Cos u r a lady. Come over to the eastern fantasy and you will see the most popular, recommend and update. It is full of these xD You probably be very shock.
Avidfan Hahaha well I've been reading the wrong books on this site lol. The most explicit story I've read here is my own orz.
But yeah I don't know about other contracted authors but before I got contracted (this is before the vetting stuff btw) my current editor contacted me to discuss my story and she did actually read it and told me about the importance of not having controversial content in it etc. Maybe it's just that some editors are more slack who knows.
Everyone's made all the good arguments here lol. I also just want to jump on all of that and say- people gotta tag and forewarn that shit if they're going to write stuff like that as well. Like, it doesn't make the whole thing okay obviously but it certainly helps protect the people who may get triggered etc to avoid that stuff.
...Of course there are also readers who don't read tags or author's notes/warnings and I gotta say, that's a little on them in that case lol.
Ok, everyone here has made valid points, but I have to ask: what exactly do you mean by child pirn? Do you mean under 12? Over 14 but under 18? Cause technically that's all under the same category. And I'm not gonna try and justify rape, that's wrong, period, nor am I saying it's good to show kids having ... such interactions under the age of consent.
But at the same time ... I have something similar in my story. I try to emulate real life society and well, where I'm from it's common to uhhh ... graduate when you're in high school and usually it's under age of consent (16). Like, people I've known, went to school with, even me personally, it's all ... Y'know. And I try to show that in my story. The MC has his 14th birthday and ... graduates (flashback in a side chapter). A friend of his sister who is 14 also is going through that phase where she's trying to explore herself and makes out with her girlfriend. Technically, this is all child porn; it's interaction/s about someone/s who is/are under 16 or 18 but I'm not doing it for the sake of porn, it's trying to add some realism to teenage characters.

Funny that I see this thread when I just finished replying to a comment about something similar. In a story I was reading the protag was 17 or 18 and there was a 12 year old girl he treated like his sister. Someone made a comment asking if she was the love interest. While most agreed she was far too young someone brought up that the story was set during an apocalypse mean there is no laws. But I wouldn't change my view, being an apocalypse doesn't change the fact that she is a child and any thought to justify using her as a romantic interest is disgusting. A month goes by and today I got a doozy of a reply and to be honest I find it very disturbing... and here it is.
[well, from a modern standpoint maybe, but biologically, and from a historical( ya know, basically everything before the last few decades), it'd be normal. honestly, a lot of modern "sensibilities" don't actually make any sense, including this one, especially when you consider that people as a whole are getting more intelligent because of our evolution over time, the average iq increases every year, children nowadays are way more mature and intelligent than in the past, so the whole, tis disgusting their twelve argument, doesn't actually make any sense, tis a weird quirk of recent years. now obviously, im not saying go **** a 12 year old, but the whole concept of it being strange, is in and of itself, strange.]
After my last reply I thought that person would understand how disgusting I find their views but it seems I was wrong... they replied
[i guess it depends on a case by case basis, an example being, anyone before puberty sohuld definitely be off limits, 100% thats death penalty(rape is alwasy death penalty) in my opinion, cause puberty is your bodys way of signifying your ready to be an *****(physically, not mentally), its the maturation process, the end of childhood. however, i agree that mentally, tehre are differences between everyone, children and teens especially, and it should be checked on a case by case basis, but the idea of everyone under 18 being unable to think for themselves, isnt just idiotic, its insulting, its a bad thought process, were taking away the survival part of life, which only has negative impacts on our species, withotu trials, without going through hardships, making bad decisions or struggling to survive, our advancements stagnates. the point i guess im terying to make, is that age isnt the end all be all, it should be reviewed on a cse by case basis, for example, was it mutual(again, all rapists should die. end of story.), did they understand what tehy were doing, were they coaxed into it and so on, you get what im saying? essentailly, once youve reached pubertyy, so lnog as you understand what your doig, and arent being forced/manipulated into it, its my belief that they should be able to do it if they so choose. we took the survival, and freedom away from ourselves, and its made everything worse, exponentially over time. weve just about doomed, not just our species, but our planet at this point, and its because we keep trying to make everything easier, without thinking about if it should be.]
