  • I'm writing a Mobile Legends Work ( Comedy / Transmigration ) which is about the Heroes of Mobile Legends thrown onto Earth to fight off the Lord and his Legion of Creeps who are about to invade. Except... Earth doesn't have Mana, and none of the Heroes are able to use their Skills.

    ( Note: Mobile Legends Players should know how ANNOYING it is to play a Brawl Match and run out of Mana, especially if you're a Mage. )

    • It has come to my attention that even with Spirit Stones (a functioning currency system), we are unable to give/receive Spirit Stones to each other. I hope that such a function will be able soon, as this will enable us to give leftover Spirit Stones to people who might need just one more Spirit Stone to read their favorite Chapter, reward commenters whose comments they enjoy, motivate hardworking reviewers who expend time and effort into making professional reviews, as well as allow users to trade and hold their own mini-events (at their own cost).

      Another (not so important) feature might be that users might be interested in might be a "Premium Chapter Bar". For example, especially in the case of Original Novels, might Users be able to put up advance chapters which require the cooperation of the entire community to unlock. Which means that everybody will be able to spend their own spirit stones to fill up that bar (maybe about 100 or more?), after which the chapter will unlock and be available for EVERYBODY. This way, it will foster closer relationships between users, forming a tighter-knit community as well as providing a real opportunity for people to show off their wealth (besides the not-so-eye-catching Gifts function).

      • You can't get SS for Check-In now, you can't even accumulate them because of the Expiry Date, and now you get some useless stuff instead. The Power Stones and XP should be Bonuses, not replacements.

      • I'm too lazy to think of a proper question, so I'll ask something really basic. Do you have a girlfriend? :D

        • Well, the most famous three chinese dynasties would be the Qin (because of Qin Shihuang), the Tang and the Han. If you read Records of the Human Emperor on Gravity Tales, they do a really good take on the Tang Dynasty. I don't think I've seen any novel which do the Han dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty is pretty common too. However, I would suggest the Tang Dynasty because there are much more resources to use (since it's more recent). It was also one of China's most flourishing times.

          You would want to look at the Eight Levels of Official Classification, which is really difficult to research in English. In Chinese, they divide it into two first. Upper Four which is Zheng (Correct, Order), and Lower Four (forgot), which is further divided into Zheng One Up, Zheng One Down, Zheng Two Up, Zheng Two Down, ??? One Up, ??? One Down and so on.

          • dalubhasangoso Use Qidian Underground, where people contribue one or two chapters from their favorite novels each day, and share them with each other. Though the occasional flamer comes along.

            Also, Webnovel is following the Chinese Qidian website, where after Chapter 50 you pay 1 RMB (about USD 0.14) for a 2000+ word chapter. Just because it works in China doesn't means it works worldwide, but Qidian doesn't seem to grasp that.

            To be honest, I wouldn't mind about 50+ Chapters being Premium, but 99% of the novel is too much.

          • I think a one-review limit is the best. It shows the number of people who review the novel accurately, as well as hindering people from spamming.

            • AzuleX You can publish your novel on Amazon, but Webnovel will have the final say about whether your novel gets removed or not. There are four scenarios possible (the probability depends on the popularity of the novel and whether it gets an official contract):

              #1) You stop updating Webnovel Version and publish the complete novel on Amazon. Webnovel Version remains there, and Qidian doesn't remove it.

              #2) Webnovel removes it, and you publish the complete novel on Amazon.

              #3) Webnovel makes you finish it (in the case of an official contract or if you refuse, get someone to finish it) as you publish your novel on Amazon, leading to two stories with the same start but different endings.

              #4) Webnovel copies the rest of the novel from Amazon (very unlikely, but Webnovel is shameless - they stole a novel from Royal Road without the author's permission, for example) after it is published.

              Note that depending on the conditions of the official contract, the ending scenario can change. Just realised that I'm talking as if this is an interactive choose-your-adventure story.

              • Also, I prefer Second Chance Novels where the MC actually uses the knowledge and not get everything by pure luck (ahem, King of the Battlefield), such as Dungeon Hunter or I am the Monarch, and whilst the occasional fresh transmigration novel is good, I prefer those with unique plotlines or business/sect/clan/kingdom management (e.g: Transmigrator vs Reincarnator).

                • I've done basic research into Ancient Chinese Nobility, Military, Court Hierarchy, as well as basic knowledge, but have no clue whatsoever about make-up and fashion styles of the different dynasties. For real-life politics, don't ask me, but for made-up ones, I can (probably) make it somewhat realistic. I would help you on the book if it had been a male protagonist because I only do books with female protagonists that have AMAZING plots (and twists) as well as non-cliche characters.

                  • To be fair, I don't really like that book, and hope that it gets banned for inappropriate content. At least censor the cover, I mean, what about the under-ten-year-old children reading here?

                      I believe that the so-called Limited License is in terms with the basic copyright laws, which says that copyright can only last for 70 years. Hence, it cannot be perpetual, and webnovel would be in direct conflict with the basic copyright laws. So basically they're saying that they share copyrights with you until the copyright runs out. Also, there are few loopholes I think I can see.

                      For example, although their use is non-exclusive, meaning you can use your own work however you want, their terms regarding the fact that they can use your work for any affiliate website (which is SERIOUSLY vague) means that they can just create new websites/services under them which exploit your work (if it becomes big). Real non-exploitative contracts usually give a "list of services which we can use your work in" (which can be updated with notice) so that it prevents the loophole of creating exploitative websites under them, and the contract can be put on hold, and work removed immediately (until there is an agreement) if the creator doesn't like that new website being added.

                      *I say basic and not international because oftentimes copyright laws are further defined by regional copyright laws, which can make them stricter or looser.

                      • I can't read any new Chapters (those that came out with the past three hours) on my Macbook properly. They keep giving me 404 Errors.

                        • I have the same problem, even if there aren't any ads. The chapters are just half-loaded. I think it's a recent bug.

                          • I mean, I can actually read Chinese :P but I don't read the RAWs because:

                            A. I get 51% for Chinese
                            B. I don't want to waste energy looking up Google Translate because I can't read the MC's name.
                            C. The RAWs' Websites are so difficult to navigate

                            • I'm attempting Inkstone and it's not working either.

                              • Well, I read:
