Yesterday I was reading a novel that fascinates me a lot, but I found a disturbing chapter and it was nothing more and nothing less than some terms that has the contract that is offered to the ORIGINAL novels. Well, as I had it open I decided to read it and for my bad fortune that was like a rock sent from the underworld, every time I continued reading those rocks they became an incessant rain I thought it was showering hail, but it was rocks. The contract is a torture that not even hell, and I told myself how this possible and I regretted what already has established contracts to all of them I wish my sincere condolences and gratitude.
This maybe be delete by MOD......I uses my second account to write this...i maybe get lock or banned.
Here I leave the terms:
First 200k words are free
When you sign, they have the licensing rights to your novel so they can sell it anywhere.
If you earn under $200, they do not have to pay you.
If you earn over $200, they can delay any payment for up to 3 months.
While under contract, if they ask you to do a book signing in China/Ph etc, then you must attend at your own expense.
While contracted, they can tell you "suggestions" on how to make your story better for the readers (They tell you what to write).
While contracted, they can hire someone else to write instead of you.
If you can not comply with their "suggestions" they have the right to terminate your contract.
If terminated, you must pay back ALL the money you've earned while under contract + any damage they foresee to charge you with.
If terminated, they will try to get the copyright of your novel so they can sell it anywhere with 100% profit.
All sales/ss/ad revenue will be split 50/50 with you and Webnovel.
They have other charges too, so you'll really end up with about 30% of the profit, then if you've got editor/artist that you've got to pay, will become much less.
All ss revenue will be for paying ss only, any free will not generate any money for you.
This works in China!
