Although it's a bit funny that I have my novels translated to Vietnamese and Russian without authorization, I'd like it better if I was receiving my royalties instead.
I don't think being stolen is a sign of success. Anyone can be stolen.
And plagiarism is even worse, because the person not only is a thief, but an assassin and a raper. He/she is killing you as author, ripping your name and raping your story.

Being plagiarize does not mean success. No one likes to have their hard work taken by someone else who is trying to get credit for it.
That is a terrible feeling.
I do not believe some authors would smile at being plagiarized because that is their hardwork that they spent their many hours on every single day that has been reduced to a single paste and copy. It is not cute, it is not success, and no one wants to see their art, their heart, stolen by someone else.

So, are you saying, if someone took your work, you would smile because you believe it is success?

      It's not called plagiarism it's called piracy. people just don't want to pay or they can't afford it so they go to these websites, there are hundreds of them. why pay when you can read for free.

        You can find 'DMCA' by scrolling all the way to the bottom of 'Webnovel' webpage (Not Webnovel.Forum).

            I don't know about fast novel, but I do know that Wuxia world plagiarize on authors work from other platforms and does not offer legitimate authors any compensation or royalties for their work.

                No, because I just saw someone brag about it at the [Discord] because [pirated website] always pirating books with [good seller].

                Yeah! You don't need to be happy about it, but, you also don't need to be depressed or think too much about it.

                Because even the [Top 10] Novels here can be pirated by them, but what happened? Nothing, Look there, helplessly, so, why bother.

                No need to think too much, we Authors can only look at it, with a stiff smile.

                Sigh! We can't do anything about it, that's the truth. I also want to ask the [WN] about that, why? Why? Novels here can be pirated by the others.

                    What is there to brag about your book getting pirated and plagiarized because it is good? What is so awesome to lost money and have your work taken like it is nothing?

                    Yeah sites are going to keep doing it, but that doesn’t mean an author should just smile and shrug about it. Even manga artist talk about how they hate having their mangas on pirate sites.
                    No one can stop it because people love to read things for free, but an author shouldn’t brag about something like that like it is amazing.

                    So you are fine with sites taking away your money and hard work because it means that your book is amazing since they took it?

                        RJMidnight
                        By the way, I'm not the one who bragged, hehe!
                        Mmm... Yeah, you are losing money, and now, ur losing ur patient, then what? Is there any effect?
                        Just want to say...
                        I'm telling that, because u can't do anything about it, then u can just accept it, right?
                        I don't need ur answer to this, because I don't care, and I'm just telling to the one asking to just accept it because there is NoThing can Do aBouT PiRaTEd, okay? Oka? Oka?
                        There are things we need to accept even we don't want to, she/he is asking for help/opinions of the others, I told mine, then tell yours, don't answer my opinion if u don't like it, but, give the Author a positive opinion if u WanT, okay?
                        If u can't help him/her, then that's it, okay? Don't just like, Bah Bah Bah Bah!!! As if...

                        By the way, forget it, just forget everything I said, and just stop this, because it's non of the topic.
                        Ur making it more complicated

                            RJMidnight

                            There is a big difference, Okay?

                            Look:

                            What do u want me to say?

                            Just cry and be depressed about it?

                            Yo! I'm just telling him/her, my point of view, that u just need to accept it!
                            U want it or not, that's how life works!
                            I'm giving a positive response here, I said just smile even it's hard, just accept it even you can't, because if u think too much about these pirated sites, it can only hinder ur rise, it can only make u fall.

                            What do u want me to say?

                            Cry, Be depress, be angry???
                            What?

                            I'm not telling all of these because I love pirated, but for the Authors not to lose the line and continue!

                            If u ever don't like this message, give him/her ur own message and don't bother about the others.

                                I never said it was you. Your confusing me with your response. Are you okay?

                                I’m just saying that even though we cannot do anything about pirated sites, there should be no joyful feelings about it.

                                But we can stop this conversation since you want to. I’m just trying to have a professional conversation about our opinions on the thing.

                                Have a good day! 😊

                                    I don’t know where you got that I’m trying to say that they should be depressed and stop doing their art.

                                    An author should continue their art. I’m just saying that it is not a positive thing to have a site pirated you or someone plagiarized you. And it should not be accepted even though it is hard to stop it.

                                    I feel like you derail on this. So, we are finished talking.

                                    Good night/day.

                                        Sorry about everything, I think my words do not help anything, so u can just judge urself, but before everything, I just need to say that stay positive and don't lose any courage, just continue and don't let anything destroy u.
                                        :)

                                            Yeah! I just don't want any arguments.
                                            That's one of my weak sides, and I'm sorry if I thought ur trying to make my thoughts bad.
                                            If u ever need help u can just ask me to make up of my fault and sorry:)

                                                I used ‘you’ as a second point of view thing. You know like commercials: EX: “Do you ever feel like this bed is not for you?”

                                                The only time I mentioned you is when I asked you a question about how would you feel if that happened to you.
