hi i have a question. if i published my story but i can't find my published book at the search engine of web novel, what should i do?

    peacheeroses Hmm.. I've never encountered this before, only an author not searchable.

    But are you sure the novel was published? Is it in your profile, e.g link? In case peacheeroses was your author account, then I also can't search it. If it was not in your profile, then the novel was probably not yet published. You can check if there were published chapters in inkstone if you clicked the 'Published' button or tab. If not, then check if maybe your chapter was blocked in the Drafts. That was usually a problem for unpublished chapters if it has special characters.

    Hope this helps. :)

        SweetsTomato it's "My Seventeen", and i assumed it's published since it's at the published column.. i've tried deleting and re-publishing but it's still not there.

            peacheeroses I ever have one chapter with locked status. Because I put some Chinese letters there, although I already erase that character it's still locked.
            I delete the whole chapter and reload again without those character and it works

                Ligoya Might be because the chapter was locked? I think you can see that in your chapters. If it has special characters, then you have to remove the special characters. :) Or try SweetsTomato's suggestion two posts above yours.

                SnoozySloth What do you mean worked fine for you? 😕 I could see that his chapter 5 was titled 'The Scarlet Mist part 2' then, next was already 'The Scarlet Mist part 4' so I think the missing part 3 was what he meant with the chapter not showing. :)

                      Hi, in inkstone my novel says that it is in "locked" state, but the chapters I set to be published appear in "published" tab. I can't even find the novel at the Webnovel site and I'm not sure how to fix it.
                      only special signs I use are ()!?{}[]~"*;
                      I don't think I used anything else...
                      Any suggestions?

                      Can't find my novel as well. More like I find it and bookmarked it but there is " We might have some trouble to find this page. Please come back later."

                        Had to log out and search for it. Works now. thanks
