I just received a notification regarding my recent novel:
"As Chinese or Korean appears in the chapter content (or chapter title, book title, abbreviation and synopsis ), your work will not be voted and gifted. After you modify the content, please contact the platform editor for processing as soon as possible."

As far as I can remember, I really avoided any types of racism and racial stereotypes in my novel so that it wouldn't be flagged as "restricted" though I received this message four days ago. I was a bit confused which chapter in my novel that includes these restricted words. The entire novel itself was focusing on Filipino culture and not anybody else to prevent these events to happen.

I hope this gets noticed because I was a bit troubled that my efforts would go to waste if this matter wouldn't be solved. I have been writing this novel for years now and I wanted to modify it as soon as possible.

Are there any ways for me to restore my novel from being restricted in the platform?

    It's not racism, more like Chinese, Korean, or Arabian characters is being used in your novel. Those characters will make a novel be banned because they're categorised as words that shouldn't be put here.

      Kouhaii I did email them and still waiting for the response. I just wanted to know which part that was banned so that I could adjust it properly.

        Sorahana The thing is, the characters there are all Filipino. So, I was confused after receiving the notif.

          By 'characters' they meant words. Like 'a', or 'b'. or '1'. These are also called characters.

          I am pretty sure they meant this, not the name of your characters.

          So if you have any symbol or any other 'characters' in the novel, (either chapter or synopsis), try to remove it and contact the support team.

              I would suggest waiting for support staff's response
              They would check what is the problem then you can ask them to lift the restriction after you fixed what the problem is

                My novel was once restricted too.

                I wrote a full title and author of someone's novel in my author's note by mistake and forgot to log then at Author's box. I received a warning and my novel got restricted.

                I wrote an email to editors after I edited my chapter. I waited for two days? I emailed them two times and got response from the second time.

                  Welp that was sad, I emailed them before for the same reason, got a response pretty quick, like a few hours and solve the problem the next day
                  Maybe go to their discord?

                    I might consider to have a follow up about it, it's been a week now and there's still no answer yet. I think the system itself detected it though I wish they'd respond sooner. I'll go to discord soon if there's still no response.

                      Castaway_Castout The notification gave you the reason.

                      You can't use Asian letter characters like Kanji in books. The app has an inbuilt bug where it will lock your book from being discovered and voted on. You'll need to convert everything to English alphabet then request a whitelist with your content editor contact.

                        Veronica8 though the problem is, I haven't put any asian characters that's why I was confused. So I couldn't figure out which part of my novel was detected unu

                          My novel was restricted for Chinese/Korean appearing in it, even though I haven't even published any of the chapters in the novel. Is that a thing?
