Webnovel messes up with the translation of the chapters, every time I try to translate a chapter of a paid novel, I get weird letters, but when I translate a chapter of a novel that has no contract, everything works normally. It's a pity, but that's as far as I go on this platform, I don't speak English :C
It is exactly for anti-piracy system against TTS(text to speech) that has caused this.

This is how it looks it looks to TTS or google translate:

so in an attempt to stop users from using TTS they not only bricked translation from being used but also encouraged users to literally copy the content of chapters, just so that users can read it.
I can understand the need for copyright protection but there is a point where the return on implementation will actually be detrimental to a website instead of beneficial.
also Per forugra4 hours ago, in a different bug report still related to google translate.:
It's stupid anti-piracy system. Here a way you can try to avoid any sort of their strange systems:
1) Make a long screenshot of all chapter. My browser has build-in function for it. Just google screenshot with scroll,
2) Leave only wanted text in this screenshot.
3) OCR it. Just google "OCR online".
4) Get text from previous move and put it in translator.
Till you see text you will can translate it. It's work averywhere also.
aswell as you can do CTRL + P to print out the webpage(multiple chapters if you have them all already loaded), then just print it as a PDF and open up the PDF. and vuala
though it has failed me on some occasions so watch out.
If i have to do all this just for read a chap i prefer go on a pirate copy and just read from here without pay and problems, what they did is a idiot move, they will probably Lose more than the gain (since u can just OCR with a program and copy the text) the only 1 who will be hit is the user and not the bots, personally i wait 1 or 2 days for see if is an April fool, if isn't i use alternative site
Every published item is subject to copy, if u are afraid of theft the only Solution is to not release anything, for ex in Russia they legalized the piracy....

[unknown] No. Piracy is prohibited in Russia. Officials in Russia have talked about it, but they talk a lot, because. idiots. But they do little.
webnovel has gone down the path of bad anti-piracy. When they make life difficult for everyone. They don't create a comfortable environment. Like Steam and others created for games.
[unknown] https://www.ign.com/articles/russia-reportedly-legalises-piracy-of-games-movies-and-more i was talking about that

I know, but the worst case where something cant be decrypted... U just use OCR and bypass everything
If they are lazy and don't want decrypt they can just apply an OCR sw and solve
[unknown] you right about bots. In battle of shield and sword, sword have advantages everytime.
About russia legalize piracy: it's not completely wrong, some of our country heads have trouble with head. They do whatever they want and don't see on aftermath. Especially in internet related things. They just want to subjugate entire internet to their will or broke down it. This time ppls with brain was found and stopped this madness till they didn't really make it.
[unknown] lol in this way u can still copy paste the text... All that work for bypass with a Google function

I like Google Translator, but sometimes it helps me out DeepL Translator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepL_Translator, it's also very good and high quality.
I live in Germany and my English sucks so I use Google's automatic translation function. I unlocked books in which I bought coins and earned the tickets every day. Now I can't read the chapters because Google Translate only translates gibberish. if I want to continue reading the stories then I'm literally forced to read on other websites. because the copy protection function is not available there.
I can't read it in the original language either because it only comes out in gibberish in German.
