Just asking cuz their email are identical
Does the wn staff read your book before they give a contract?

I doubt it. I started off a novel making fun of Webnovel with a parody of "NovelWorks" where it was a sweatshop of underpaid writers who were overshadowed by bland stories by a cocky top author.
I still got a contract offer.
kazesenken hhahahhahha
Actually yes they do! A content editer contacted me, and they spoke about some specific details in my book, that wouldn't be able know if you didn't read it. I'm not saying your wrong, but it might vary from person to person
They might skim some bits, especially if you respond, I even got an editor commenting once like a long way back but in that 'please contact us' kinda way. For the most part I would say no. The emails I received over unsigned contracts are pretty copy-paste generic sounding. As well as pretty similar to others I've spoken to on the forums.
But hey there are multiple editors so who knows what the system is like. Editors are people too, though with a probably overworked schedule and quota to make.

It depends on the content editor or staff doing the picking. Some do, at least a bit of the first chapter. As far as I'm aware.
If you're thinking about the recent wave of DM invites that went out to Wattpad writers and so forth. I think no, these were bot generated on a set criteria. By my understanding and experience.
