Just look at forum, people are shameless enough to swap review each other. You rant when people do negative but turn blind eye for those stuff ?

ToS 6.1 last sentence

By that clause are the author still retain their copyright after contract ? or those copyright get automatically taken by the slavery contract clause ?

They dare to say author got their own copyright ?
Should change that to "you got your copyright as long as you become our obedient slave. when you revolt we get your copyright and we will take back all you gain from it. any derivative work rights will be ours even if you want to make damn sequel/prequel/spin off. if by any chance you get your own rights back, we still wont pay you any dimes."

1173 cost was 11 spirit stone.

I'm not seeing any refund here. Nothing on my inbox.

@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL are you guys really shameless enough to post translation fix on new chapter and charge another full chapter cost of spirit stone for fixing a chapter translation mistake ? How many times more I have to complain about this TKA chapter 1173 scam ?

Chapter 1173 is just small translation fix of 1172. Why it cost another 11 stone where the first version only cost 10 stone just to read slight changes. This is outrageous and pure scam.

For those kind novel you can put the blame on Webnovel account who says fanfics are allowed on the other thread 2 months ago.

Is that why Beyond the League contest winner didnt get their promised contract ?
Because too much risk to publish their novel ?
Because the novel deemed wont be hit and popular ?
Are QI now stoop low enough to use the last clause "China Literature reserves the right of final interpretation of this contest." to back out ?
Why QI promise to give contract for the winner then ?

You guys should point more on how he/she rewrite the novel and call it "transliteration" rather than complaining about release speed.

Are you saying its fine to get money from hosting translation of novel that blatantly ripping off other works ?

SRandom

Lets say I buy share of QI from HK stocks exchange , did that allow me to ripoff any novel available here ?

Daoist2017

Its passive one because Chinese law require Tencent to have shares on games they launch on China.

I assume its fine to write something similar to The Great Thief since you host that novel who blatantly ripoff many things from World of Warcraft.

Can I write something like The Great Thief there ?
