Well, it doesn't mean that he did that to you that you should also do the same. Just take it as he had nothing to do. If you are confident in your work, then you don't need to care much about such things. We cannot please everybody. Focus on making your loyal readers happy instead of feeling angry because of someone who probably didn't have anything to do like that one-star reviewer.
Congrats!
This sounds interesting! Is the novel fully translated already?

mystra_08 Good luck and keep writing, dear author! Many Filipinos are reading here in Webnovel. They will surely be proud to find their fellow Filipino writing stories here and they will come to support you.
From the title of your book, I am already intrigued. But please do note that others here do not understand Taglish (Tagalog-English) so be prepared when some would say that they will not read it. Don't get disheartened as some of them are just really too straightforward.
As for your novel, I searched it up... You might want to do proofreading first before you publish the chapters. Although Taglish doesn't have a strict rules in grammar, you must not be complacent in the use of the language. Proper nouns, such as names, should still be capitalized. Also, don't overlook spelling errors. I have seen the "Prologue" misspelled as "Prolouge" and "restaurant" as "restaurat". Please be mindful of those.
I hope you don't find me annoying and label me as an 'all-knowing' jerk. I don't have the intention to offend you or something. Anyways, good luck and have fun writing! If you want some advice, you can always look for your fellow authors here. That's all!
I guess that since you have checked your notifications on the PC website, the app would automatically assume that they are "seen" or "read" already that's why you didn't get any notification on your phone.

1) Write more and update daily. I looked up your novel and I saw that you have 5 chapters at the moment. The first 3 chapters are extremely short. You might want to have a consistent word count for every chapter. 800 words should be the minimum, as what WN recommends.
2) Be patient. Everyone starts at the bottom. Readers will surely come as long as you don't give up on your writing.
3) Good grammar is most favored. As harsh as it may sound, others are deterred by the sheer number of grammatical errors in a novel. I am not saying that your grammar is not good, but there's still a room for improvement.
4) Write. I'll just repeat it. You write. Write more. No matter how many times you promote your novel, without the chapters they are supposed to read, you will find it hard to keep your readers to read your novel. SimplyMarjo You can change the cover of your book on Inkstone. Make sure to have the right size for the cover or else you cannot really change it. As for deleting a published novel, it cannot be done. But you can remove the chapters and change the title of the book to something like "Deleted book".
hungrywolf It's good as long as you don't quit writing! I've seen your book and all those supportive readers there. Good luck! I'm happy that you also found a buddy to help you edit. I'm glad that I've been of help!
Whycanti If I am not wrong, there is still no way to delete books as of the moment. But you can remove all of the chapters from it. As for being able to use it for the contest, you may want to discuss that with the content editors. Although there are some instances that they allowed for such thing, it is still better to get their consent about that matter.
texascann Have you tried removing the chapters first and then publishing them in sequence? You might have published the chapters before in an incorrect order that's why they are not arranged properly. About the missing chapters, maybe you haven't really published those chapters and they were just saved as drafts? Anyways, try to remove the chapters first and then publish them again in sequence. If the same problem occurs, you can report it on the Discord server for Webnovel writers. Good luck!
hungrywolf Well, I am a lazy person myself so I can feel you there. It's kind of hard to fight laziness most of the time. But since you've tried writing before, would you like to ask for advice instead? You can ask our fellow authors here for their advice. It's not really easy to think of ideas for stories so won't you be losing out if you would give your ideas just like that? If you don't really want to write it yourself, then you should look for someone who wants to do a collab with you. That way, you would still get the credit you deserve.
rainyday_s You can try logging in your account on your browser then go to your profile. Just copy the URL / link there. I think that would be it.
hungrywolf That's pretty cool! To have so many ideas, you have a creative mind! Say, why don't you try to write a novel yourself? Just try. With your ideas, it would be possible for you to write an entire novel yourself. If you are having a hard time putting your thoughts into words, then you can ask fellow authors here for their advice. Well, that's just my own opinion. It is still up to you on what will you decide to do. But if you chose to write your own novel, or if someone is willing to do a collab with you, I'll be sure to read it and give you my review! You can also ask me anything and I'll try to help you the best that I can.
