  • 1ok1 Personally, I think it’s because Webnovel is trying to get rid of their website, and is pushing the App onto everyone via the enticement of Fast Passes. It’s more secure than a website; to the point that a warning prompt pops up when you do a simple screenshot of a Work(s) when using the App(I do this as a form of note-taking for my ongoing series, and the prompt has been popping up for about a month now). I believe that it helps to cut down on the amount of pirates/pirate sites that steal content. As a contracted author, I’m all for it. I’ve found both of my Works on multiple pirate sites, and it’s beyond frustrating. Personally, I like the App better anyways, but to each their own. Hope that this helped, dear☮️❤️😁

  • I’ve been seeing a lot of questions about the two contracts(yes, there are TWO kinds), so I thought I’d post this helpful tidbit…

    ⚠️ALWAYS READ CONTRACTS THOROUGHLY! DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK AN EDITOR IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING! AND GETTING THE CONTRACT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO SIGN IT! ONLY DO SO IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE!⚠️

    ⭐️Here’s the Contracts’ breakdown⭐️:

    Exclusive Contract=
    You receive 50% of all profits after overhead costs are taken out, but you sign your rights away. Webnovel has complete monetary control over your Work. This means NO posting locked chapters to other websites, platforms, etc.. You can post your free chapters, but not the locked ones. Those belong to Webnovel exclusively, hence the name of the contract. You cannot make and sell merchandise, or copies of the Work in any form. And all characters of the Work fall under this contract. Which means no separate side stories, spin-offs with other characters, etc.. They all fall under the rights in the contract.

    Non-Exclusive Contract=
    You get 30% of all profits after overhead costs are taken out, but you retain all rights to your Work. These are done through third party sites like ShareStory and what not, and they post on multiple platforms for you. You can post it anywhere, make merchandise and sell it, etc.. The Work is yours, so you can do with it whatever you want.

    ⭐️ONLY THE EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT QUALIFIES FOR MGS, SO LONG AS YOU MEET THE PUBLISHING REQUIREMENTS⭐️

    *I am happy with the Exclusive Contract for one of my Works, but I do regret signing one for my ongoing series. I had to pass on a wonderful opportunity because I did not own the rights any longer. It depends on the importance of the Work to you, and how much effort you want to put into promoting it. If it’s all about the money for you, then I suggest the Exclusive. But if you want Any kind of control over your creation, then I suggest a Non-Exclusive.

    Hope this helps, guys. Good luck in your writing!☮️❤️😁

    P.S.
    I am not an editor, just a helpful veteran author✌🏻

    You need to file a DCMA report with the site, and with Webnovel, I think. Go to the InkStone discord server, and ask for the editor that handles them. They will help you.

    I had both of my Works plagiarized on Amazon, and this is what I had to do. I have found other sites as well, and have clicked their various forms of ‘report issues’ button. You will have to fill out a DCMA report for any/all sites. I also report them to Google, who takes down the link from their search engines. I hope that this helped, dear. Good luck!☮️❤️😁

    P.S.
    Just to make you smile: they say that ‘imitation is the highest form of flattery’. Your Work must be pretty good to get plagiarized. That’s how I looked at it after the anger passed😆😊

      Please let me know what you find. I Love that show, and am intrigued by your request.

      • Novel_Dumre

        I’ve never been banned myself, but I’ve seen people get banned for things from insulting the author of a Work, to hate speeches, to posting about non-book-related topics(like politics). Pretty much if you violate the rules in the group, or if your words can be construed as bullying in any way, then the administrators have to ban you. Or, if another user reported you to Facebook; that could’ve gotten you banned, too. Or it could’ve even been an uninvolved Karen complaining(like if curse words were involved, etc..). People get offended by the silliest things now a days.

          I recommend:

          1. Library Of Heaven’s Path(book)
          2. Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator(comic)

          You can also search the tag ‘cultivator’ or ‘cultivation’, and find more Works that way. Hope that this helped dear☮️❤️😁

          If you are not paying for privileged chapters, then you will not see the two most recently published chapters until they are replaced with new ones. Hope this helped dear

          I believe you go through ShareStory for it. They distribute your work to multiple platforms, I think. I personally only have Exclusive contracts, so I cannot comment directly on them. However, I do not plan to do another Exclusive with Webnovel. Them owning the rights to the Work is too limiting for my liking. I suggest asking an editor on the InkStone discord server for details. Or the other authors(probably more honest opinions). Hope this helped dear. Good luck with your writing☮️❤️😁

            When you sign an Exclusive contract, and meet the minimum publishing requirements, then you get a minimum of $200 USD for four months. After that, it is strictly what you earn from subscriptions and gifts. You get 50% of all profits from your work, after overhead costs are taken out. You do not retain rights to your work with the Exclusive contract. Non-Exclusive contract gets you 30% profits after overhead, but you retain full rights to your work. I do not know if MGS is available for Non-Exclusive contracts. I would check with an editor on that. Hope this helped!

              You can still list it under FL romance, as long as the FL has some of the spotlight. There are Works like ‘Taming The King of Beasts’ that are mainly from the ML’s POV, but are listed under FL romance because that’s where the target audience is. I suggest tweaking the book a bit, but still put it under FL Romance. I hope this helped, and good luck in your writing☮️❤️😁

                I agree with Sneakycat098: Under The Oak Tree is amazing! The first volume is complete, and (ML)Riftan’s side story is being published right now before volume 2 is released. Highly recommend.

                I’d also like to offer up my own work for your perusal. It’s a fantasy romance with devoted love, magic, Fae of all kinds, comedy, intrigue, and a cheeky dragon in later chapters. The first volume is complete(Dawning Skye), and the second is currently being published(Darkening Skye). Feel free to check out the synopsis and first few chapters, to see if it’s your cup of tea. I hope you enjoy☮️❤️😁

                  If it can be unrealistic things, then:

                  1. Ability to heal any wound, sickness, or affliction.
                  2. Ability to fly without physical repercussions
                  3. Ability to turn things to gold at will(can control the power)

                  If I’m restricted by reality’s rules, then:

                  1. Win $10 Million dollars legitimately(total after taxes)
                  2. Unlimited Healthcare
                  3. To own a mountain in the state of Washington(USA), without having to pay land taxes
                  • Lithma_Methmini you have to delete all chapters and change the title. There’s no way to delete the work slot. Hope this helped. ☮️❤️😁
