Though most of this has to do with getting his work stolen.Here, I have some nice material on why you should absolutely avoid webnovel, especially as an author.
I thought they didn't allow external links like that?There isn't really any reason to not post the beginning of your work there for free and link back to your patreon or homepage.
And you think they go through all small stories without contract and check for that? OoI thought they didn't allow external links like that?
I mean in the worst case they'll do whatever they want anyway.Also is it recommended to post only the bare minimum in case your novel gets stolen later on, and WN can only claim copyright on it if you sign a contract? Or does it not really matter because they might do whatever anyway
i read your book's synopsisI like webnovel because it's much more comfortable to read on the app. I also write there.
CCP is bad but at least read one book most probobly a fan fic *chough* A God's Journey* cough*Eh, I can't trust webnovel. Chinese services are constantly being found to funnel, or backdoor user info to the CCP. Even Zoom had a CCP spy handing over user info and banning users of people who talk bad about them.
Actually, there are good reasons not to post anything there. Their EULA basically implies that by posting on their site, you're giving them your story's copyright.There isn't really any reason to not post the beginning of your work there for free and link back to your patreon or homepage.
Btw, why does everyone complain when amazon takes your work they legit tell you that RoyalRoad is part of amazon You signed up for It like for real?And you think they go through all small stories without contract and check for that? Oo

Not posting anything is more towards getting your readers to leave webnovel and look elsewhere for your stuff.
As long as you post without contract, they don't get the copyright. And the more you post, the harder it'll be for some other author to copycat you (which isn't really webnovels fault, they just don't act out against it).
So in the end, posting there might get you a few readers and others have it harder to copy your work. But of course, that might still not help.
There are also RR stories pirated and sold on Amazon.
Such things happen, no matter the site.
The question is just, how fast will the site act (if at all)...
..Btw, why does everyone complain when amazon takes your work they legit tell you that RoyalRoad is part of amazon You signed up for It like for real?
good to know"Have you heard of web novel" is like asking "Have you heard of Mc Donalds".
Nearly everyone knows it which is why most don't speak about it anymore. A lot of the people who care think it's shit as the working environment is bad and the product is subpar. But the majority will still quietly use it due to convenience, so nothing will change anyway.
So yeah, we heard about it.
what do you mean Royalroad is a part of amazon an affiliate at least...
What?
Can you rewrite that?

That's Kana, (one of) the owners of Royal Road.
The only affiliation between RR and Amazon is through their advertising program. Amazon advertises books on RR. That's it.
bleh. I wouldn't put it past Kanadaj to be doing something dirty somewhere. Dude can be a snake if he doesn't like you. But that doesn't make him any different from anyone else in a position of authority. I also think Tony has been blatantly biased against me on one occasion, but then with their large workloads, I also accept they have to pull rank and pick a few favorites here and there if only for stress reducing reasons.Only an advertising affiliate.
