How does everyone feel about Webnovel and how they treat their authors

[DominaterRaider]

I got a deal but I always had this feeling about them that I can't shake.

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

I just got that email today. I am honestly not going to take it. I have heard horrible things from people about how they treat their writers. As well as they own your story. That alone is what makes me say fuck no.

 

[Reyezwriting]

Read the contract. It says that you're giving them the rigths of your story for 50 years.

 

[Deleted member 45782]

Only heard from others what it's like, but to sum it up,

Shit. Period.

 

[Lorelliad]

My favorite novel, Supremacy Games is on Webnovel, and I'm quite worried about it.

 

[K5Rakitan]

I only share my fanfic there, and they don't harass me because nobody can make money on a fanfic.

 

[Cossimeri]

I haven't heard anything positive about them, but I've never shared my stories on any site except for scribblehub, so I have no personal experience to speak from.

Here's a tip on how to stop Webnovel from bothering you with these emails. Put the words, Tibet, Taiwan, Fulan-Gang, or Weiger into your novel somewhere. (Even if it's just a throw-away line in some side conversation.) Do that, and they will never bother you again.

Another option is to say something negative about the CCP.

Why those?

Can't they just delete them?

Or Winnie the Pooh

Why those?

Either you are a troll or being living under a rock. Webnovel belongs to a China owned company, guess whose dirt they don't want to touch.

The most they can do about your story is to take it down on their site.

The only thing I can think is if you hide it so they don't realize it's there.

 

[PhillisCreziles]

I feel, no.

 

[Piisfun]

1. I don't use Webnovel, and therefore have no actual opinion.
2. Feel? That would require emotional processing, which I have almost no capacity for (most of the time).

I specifically made a joke about the Webnovel contract in my last video making fun of desperate writers. . . .

 

[gaylolis]

well, duckduckgo refuses to list their site in the search results for a good reason, probably.

when i want to look up the titles of a webnovel translated story, it always give the pirate sites first.

 

[skit]

From what I've heard from some people, its pretty shit lol

 

[Daitengu]

I mean, it's fine for fan fics, but losing rights to you original novel sucks ass. Especially since it's a WORSE deal than a real paper publisher. Then again real publishers hunt for quality, while webnovel is entirely based on quantity.

I just wasn't aware it was Chinese owned. I was pretty sure it was an Asian owned site, but that was just a vague feeling. I also only recognize Taiwan, and Tibet. Additionally, while I've got the idea that the Chinese dislike Taiwan from different novels I just don't keep up or care about the political tension, and stances China has.
