Even though my books are one of the shitty books on webnovel and might not be considered when your idea is accepted, however, I find your idea congenial.
Sell Physical Copies Of Our Works Please!
I think that webnovel is doing great when they don't allow the so-called "authors" to waste paper 
While some (maybe 0.001%) of the books here aren't that bad, the rest are nothing more than a horrendous graphomania

If you read up top, then you will see that I suggested editing be required before the screening process even started(a prerequisite, so to speak). As well as the authors only being able to apply for the program twice before the Work is marked as unacceptable. Many people prefer the feel of a physical book in their hands, as well as the comfort of knowing that their copy is on a shelf whenever they want it(don’t have to own a phone or computer to read, or worry about WiFi/etc..). There’s a lot more details that I don’t care to repeat, but that’s the basics to your second comment. Your first and last comments are basically just shit-posting, so I feel no need to address them. Especially since you can’t even grasp the conceptual use of a Period.

I came back to up!
Up! I like your idea!
Up, up, and away!

@Sara_Wilcox editing be required
Haha, as if there was something to edit
Idk if your works are great or not, but as I said before - most of the novels here is pure graphomania
Actually, if you really like the feeling of having a physical book in your hands - just print it. I believe there is some kind of facility near your place where you can order a few physical copies for yourself and family/friends
@Hassy_101 It seems you didn't read what she said
She said enough
@Sara_Wilcox Webnovel does not sell physical copies of the works that they have exclusively contracted
I see that Webnovel is caring about ecology and doesn't want to waste trees 
I seriously doubt that Webnovel gives two craps about ecology, but that’s beside the point. And no, Exclusively Contracted Authors cannot just ‘print copies’. That’s a violation of the contract. It has to go through Webnovel. Since you are obviously not an author, and have nothing useful to add, please shut up and go shit-post somewhere else. I’m looking for actual feedback from people this will effect, not snobs with nothing better to do than troll the forum. It’s funny how you can talk crap about the writers on here when you clearly don’t know proper English yourself. And before you reply: I don’t care. I hope you find some happiness in your life that doesn’t require you to feed off of the negative feelings of others.
Normally I’d agree. But the webnovel-like Online literature is vast and so many novels out there, that I can only read it in digital library even if I didn’t want too.
But if you have a non-exclusive contract, that’d be a cool thing to see, definitely.
I can only hope original’s get a chance for a webcomic adaption and sold in printed copies one day. I’d definitely purchase that!

I can't believe that there are such a naive adult people on Earth. Do you really think that webnovel is constantly spying on you - if you are making plans to print a few copies of whatever you wrote? I feel hypocrisy here - it's clear to me that you want to satisfy your Ego (when you can see your novels in the bookstore) or greed. Or maybe both.

Haha, you are speaking in the public place, why shouldn't I comment?

I don't have to be a writer to be able to read, right? And it's clearly not a topic about English grammar or whatever.
And before you reply: I don’t care. I hope you find some happiness in your life that doesn’t require you to feed off of the negative feelings of others
You don't care and you still wrote such a big answer Thanks for your wishes, but you did a mistake - I just sometimes can't stand and watch when I see stupid things 
You are entertaining, I’ll give you that. No, I don’t think Webnovel spies on me. But I’m also not dumb enough to risk a lawsuit. I could lose all my rights to my Work, have to pay back my past earnings, and pay all lawsuit costs. That’s just common sense. The only one who seems to be naïve is you, since you feel the need to comment on things you clearly know little to Nothing about.
Out of curiosity, I do have some questions for you: how is it greedy to want compensation for something I’ve devoted years to crafting? For the hours of research I’ve put in, the uncountable hours I’ve spent writing and editing? I should just do all of that for free because it’s something I love doing? Or because I’m still new(ish)? Do you walk up to restaurant workers and tell the ones that seem to enjoy their jobs, or that just started that they shouldn’t be paid because it’s something they seem to like? Or tell musicians that they should play and record tracks for free? Or do you simply see literature as something that you just shouldn’t have to pay for? If you wish to call me egotistical because I want to earn as much as I can from my creation that I’ve devoted so much of myself to, then go ahead. I’m cool with it. I’ll take that over being an entitled Karen any day. Oh, and nice to see you using mostly accurate punctuation now.
•Any Exclusive Authors reading this: DO NOT take Karen’s advice about making copies without Webnovel’s consent first(even as gifts for friends/family). They can take your Work from you if you do, plus all the other stuff I said. Just saying..
Sara_Wilcox You are entertaining, I’ll give you that.
Thanks! 
No, I don’t think Webnovel spies on me. But I’m also not dumb enough to risk a lawsuit.
Is there a country where you can't privately print your work and give it to your family or friends? And what kind of family and friends do you have if you risk to get a lawsuit? Will they report you to webnovel, for real?
Out of curiosity, I do have some questions for you: how is it greedy to want compensation for something I’ve devoted years to crafting?
So, finally we are speaking about money Of course it's priceless and it's natural to earn money for your work. But why are you trying to stand on the high moral ground and put your family and friends to the front? Just say that you want more money without being a hypocrite.
I’ll take that over being an entitled Karen any day.
Yeah, I WaNt To SpEaK tO yOuR MaNaGeR!
Oh, and nice to see you using mostly accurate punctuation now.
Thanks! 
But I may disappoint you this time or in the future, because last time it was unintentional
•Any Exclusive Authors reading this: DO NOT take Karen’s advice about making copies without Webnovel’s consent first(even as gifts for friends/family).
Yeah, it's a good advice for people who's family can snitch on them to webnovel
You’re welcome dear Karens are just angry clowns to me, so..
What do you mean ‘Finally! We are speaking about money’? That’s literally the main focus of what this whole thread was about. For authors and Webnovel to make more money and gain a larger fan base for both authors and Webnovel via printed copies. My friends and family were just an example of people who would happily purchase a physical copy. Did you even read the thread?
And as to ‘standing on the moral high ground’, my family and friends understand that I am an author, and want to support me by purchasing my Works. What kind of a friend or family member just demands free stuff? A child might, or someone who is not a good friend. My family and friends actually want to Support me in pursuing my dream, not just get my books for free. Reaching more readers via printed copies has been said multiple times in this thread. Of course that translates to more profits for both authors and Webnovel. Are you sure that you can read? Or is it a comprehension thing?
My friends and family love me, and wish to support my dream, but they don’t like reading on electronics. So I’m hoping Webnovel will understand that there are millions of people like that. So that is also millions of readers that I can’t reach. I love my stories, and yes, I want to profit from them. Most authors do; that’s why we publish through places like this instead of having a free blog or something like that. Some authors publish on here for free, but those are generally new writers trying to build and/or expand their reader base, or have published Works on other platforms. If they don’t want to charge for their Works, that’s on them. But you would be the greedy one to expect all writers to devote so much of their time and lives to creating, then not get compensated for it. There are authors that write just to write, but This Thread is about Exclusive Authors reaching more readers via printed copies, and earning more from that. This thread is for Authors that are here to earn, and readers that would like to purchase a copy, or for people with an Actual counter argument..
As to the suggestion that I can’t trust my friends and family: . Again, you speak of things you know Nothing about.
You wanna talk about morals? You are here literally telling authors to knowingly violate their contracts because Webnovel ‘won’t find out unless someone snitches’? SO Dumb
There are many ways for Webnovel to find out. My family and friends would never report me, so I’m not worried about that. But I’m not about risk someone who doesn’t like me seeing them post about it on social media, or see them with the copy, and report me. I live in a small town, so everyone knows everyone and their business. I’m sure that you are VERY familiar with people not liking you, so this concept should be a no-brainer for you. No one is liked by everyone, and you’re utterly naïve if you think otherwise.
As to the punctuation thing: I don’t care whether you use them or not. All I was pointing out is that someone living in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones at others.
P.S. I’m from the United States, but the way. That information is listed in my profile
Sara_Wilcox You clearly have a lot more patience than me by giving this troll the time of day... I'd say ignore him and he'll go away on his own.

Sara_Wilcox You’re welcome dear
Ok, sweetie - call me whatever you want

I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. I'm from ex-socialist country, lived most of my life in another ex-socialist country, and spend much time in the China (which is currently socialistic), so it influenced my mind and soul. I didn't expect that somewhere people are fighting for the right to sell their books to their family and friends. My bad.
Now everything falls into place, when I know that you are from the US. What else should I expect from the citizen of the country where parents are taking a rent from their children and kicking them out at 18
There are many ways for Webnovel to find out. My family and friends would never report me, so I’m not worried about that. But I’m not about risk someone who doesn’t like me seeing them post about it on social media, or see them with the copy, and report me.
I work with (and lived in) China for so long and I'm 110% sure that nobody will care about a few copies that you gifted to somebody even if they snitch you on purpose. Of course it's a different story if you start to sell books that you privately printed
As to the punctuation thing: I don’t care whether you use them or not. All I was pointing out is that someone living in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones at others.
Ok, I got it - if you have perfect grammar, then writers are unreachable for any criticism from anybody who's level is lower
So, in conclusion I want to apologize again for misunderstanding of your intentions. I thought that you are trying to stand on the high moral ground while putting your family and friends to the front as if saying that you want to care about them and make a physical gift. It was me who was at fault and the conversation was meaningless.
I hope that you will fulfill your wish and make a good money from your friends and family

Thank you KarenMy friends, family, and I hope my Works are successful, too. I just hope that Webnovel(which is based in China not the US, and is the reason that I’m preparing a comprehensive proposal), releases a format that my supportive loved-ones are comfortable purchasing, like physical copies. Again, I hope you can find some happiness that doesn’t involve feeding off of misery. Also on that note, sorry I left you starving.
