  • Wow guys I just found a fraudulent novel. It's kinda stupid and genius at the same time.
    The content is crap, some unedited first chapters riddled with mistakes. It's an advertisement for a book on Amazon.

    Look at the reviews. All reviewers gave it 5 stars. They all have Indian-sounding names with numbers, share the same grammatical style. The likes though... They have a gradual decline, as if smb loggid into an alt, wrote a review and then liked every previously existing review.
    I guess Webnovel allows this too?
    I flagged it but who knows if they even care.

    • Thanks, guys.
      Weirdly, when I woke up today, the cover was fine. Which is still weird, because the first changed cover stayed grey in my library for like two weeks, but changed hours after I posted this complaint.
      Talk about coincidences, I guess.

      Problem solved, thread can be deleted.

      • I recently started writing a novel, "This cultivator is a model citizen!" and I first uploaded it without a cover. A few days later I made a simple one, and today I added some art. The problem is, I only see the standard grey cover in my library on my phone, which I use primarily.
        Cover is displayed correctly on the site everywhere and on the novel's page in the app. It's only my collection that shows me a grey cover. Of course, this is disconcerting. Thing is, I don't know how it is displayed in my readers' libraries, and I hope it's pretty and not just a grey page.
