Sigh, I liked webnovel because you can keep scrolling, no need click 'next chapter'

But now you can't read anything on their WEBsite past vol 1

I have stories there, but I now insist on moving them here and|or honeyfeed.fm

Only people who read on their app unaffected​

Prepare to have no readers....

---------------------------------------

It is their last effort to prevent story theft...
As usual - webnovel is so desperate to make money from a small minority, it gets worse for the rest.

That said, why would you stop publishing because of that?

so they reached another level of stupid? Wow. I dropped them a while ago when they started preventing web users from getting the things to actually unlock chapters (free passes), and the pitiful amount of points they do give you can only be spent in the coin shop that's only available via the app, so I haven't paid any attention to them recently. Not surprised to see even more idiocy from that website and company

I can't access Webnovel anymore since I don't have access to the e-mail it is associated with.

Ahahahahhahahaha I can only laugh from the depression.

As a writer, I liked WN's paragraph commenting function. I felt that it encouraged comments, which I'm a huge addict for. I don't write very fast or well in the first place so it's not like I have that many readers across all sites. But it's still disappointing. Better work on getting everything moved over and updated on sites scribble and honeyfeed.
