Hi guys, As fellow authors, based on our chats at the discord server. We know of the few issues that exists right now.

1) If you have already published a chapter, do not, I REPEAT, do not attempt to edit or correct it for now. As updating it will completely remove it from the table of contents.

2) There seems to be an existing delete issue for published chapter based on reports. So do not attempt to delete it as there may be an issue that arises on your account on inkstone where new published chapters will not post as well.

3) For now, authors note is limited to 500 characters, not words as mentioned in the alert. So try to keep those down. I don't know about the author's note bug that was mentioned earlier so I can not elaborate on it much as not of the other fellow authors seems to have suffered.

For my part I have not suffered any publishing issue, yet. I use the publish timer feature to release my chapters daily. So I don't know if that can help you. The default setting of the timer is 30minutes after your current time. It can be adjusted accordingly.

Hope this helps and please keep calm.

Webnovel/Inkstone staff are working on it since the issue started yesterday. We are not private messaging them on discord right now so they can continue working on it here and receive your issues.

For those that have lost chapters, I would personally just advice new readers on your synopsis as a first line notation that Webnovel servers have an ongoing update to its system which have affected your chapters. They are working to resolve the issue. When that is done, this note will be deleted.

That way, your new readers are informed and do not mistake jumbled up or missing chapters as poor storytelling.

Hope this helps.

if you all too lazy to read what @17Sphynx17 just said It would be just when you get unban don't republish or delete for the mean time until the server finishes update.

    SpeshelWolf haven't publish any draft yet.

    But the edited chapter still in the published section. But it disappeared from webnovel.

      OmnipotentDad same dilemma here!!! My chapter 49 went missing and my chapter 50 became 49! Same with my chapter 50 and 51.

        I Created this novel and have 2 chapters in inkstone currently. After going back and editing the chapters because of a suggestion from a review. Now that I have clicked update on both the chapters. The second chapter is displaying as chapter #1 and the first chapter does not show up on WebNovel at all. I have even tried to remove both chapters and re-add them again, the same issue persists. I can not seem to find a way to get my first chapter to show up on the site anymore.

          SpeshelWolf the only reason the chapter was banned is because it contain special characters (non-english character) Since there were many Korean advertisements, we banned novels using non-English words, which affected many normal novels unexpectedly. The programmers are fixing this bug.

            there is another problem, after I lift the ban for your chapters, the author's thoughts will turn empty. I have reported this bug. Please do not re-edit and re-publish it until all problems are resolved.

              Dannnnz I can post and update but isn't uploaded in the server. When I tried to edit one of the chapters, it was deleted in the Qidian. Also, when I try to delete a chapter that I just published (But wasn't shown in the app or site), it says 'undefined.' Please help
