Seems to still be the case where you can only use Bold and italic if you're contracted. How I get around it, I use markdown on my text to show the format E.g.: _ text _ = Italic ** text ** = bold, etc.
Based on a quick peak of your book page, I think you're doing okay here. So just keep going.

just leave it as it is. you can't change any of the greyed out info settings. I have two books that I've taken out of the contest. They'll be disqualified when they don't have 120K worth of words.
Yes. You can take your stories anywhere if you didn't sign a WN contract.

Adiós amigos. Take care all and hope you see you around in the near future.
Good luck to all Spirity entries and everyone's WIP. Hope you get the fame and glory deserved.
Peace out. :v:
Um.
I don't think this would be locked now as the discussion makes sense.
It's good to talk on the ways of content relevance for different audiences.
I think if a story is too steeped to one culture, it should continue to carry those cultural elements. An example are Japanese honorifics in stories. Some people hate it, but if the honorific is removed it might also remove the charm of the culture's hierarchy respect from the story.
Winterwisps Yep. Character design works best when it's based on "wants" and "needs". Antagonist is only that because their "want" conflicts with the main characters. But by having them each challenge each other's "want", it draws out more of their "needs".
This character design framework allows characters to be three dimensional. There are various character arc methods that are based on this.
A "want" is obvious. It's what the character is set out to achieve in the story. An Example is Frodo's quest to destroy the Ring of all evil in the fires of Mount Doom.
A "need" is what the character develops or obtains on their journey. Example is what I mentioned earlier about Frodo's need to realize that he can't complete his quest on his own. This isn't obvious and is made realized when the character overcomes triggering events like battles and challenges throughout their quest etc.
This link might help.
https://thenovelsmithy.com/want-versus-need-storytelling/You also might want to check out Brandon Sanderson's YouTube lectures on Character Design. This one is cool.
Damn. I only know the stories like this on TapRead.
Um. No. You need to be contracted to earn here. To be honest, you need to have a popular story or potential to be popular here to be noticed by a content editor.
Being a newbie, I recommend you don't focus on money or contracts. Just focus on writing a story and finishing it. Too much heartache happens if you write to only monetize.
Use the pinned monthly threads. These might help.

They're badass. Always challenges the protagonist's want until they make them almost puke blood.
Serious note. An antagonist will always be the challenger to a protagonist's want (e.g. objective or quest), which will draw out their need.
An example is Lord of the Rings. Frodo's antagonist is Smegal because they both want the same thing, but have opposing goals that causes friction and a life/death situation. Through this interaction, Frodo's need is realized, which is that he can't finish his quest on his own; made clear when Sam interfere with Smegal's plans.

I'm hazarding a guess it's because their server (trust verification) certificate has expired and needs to be renewed. It might not necessarily mean that the site itself is unprotected.
If you have concerns, you should reach out to the EMP guys on the Webnovel discord server. You'd likely won't find them responding here as they rarely come here.

Okay. Now I get the gist of this discussion, which kept getting locked in previous versions. The previous version OP didn't really make much sense to me tbh. Yeah, if it's a translation thing to try to make the content relevant to the publishing location. Don't think this is a good move. It's cool to keep the novel's location as is since there's so much sentiment and relevance to that particular culture.
Is it a specific translation group that has opted to do this? Or seems to be a WN new requirement?
