Is webnovel good?

[sarah-crows]

i was asked to join webnovel a while back , but i have heard bad thinks about them, that they take over your book's rights, that they controle the flow of your books, and that they scam their writers, i'm not sure wether this is true or not, so i would like to know about it from someone who has or is posting in webnovel, is it worth it ?

I tried it, and it was not good for me... btw. their app is chaotic... btw2 they really are copying some novels from Tapas, and other platforms

omg that's exactly what i was worried about, it seems like they don't even know what they're doing

I definitely do not recommend it, I've read that sometimes they even use your story without permission or something, because something in terms and conditions states that you no longer own all right or smth like that. Don't really know, but there are many cases, make a search online and you'll see I did this search cause they emailed me once saying they wanted to make a contract with me to publish my story there.
I still have their emails, I refused and they kept insisting I can screenshot them if you want. I read that also the payment is really bad and that they exploit artists and writers

Pro:

• Better dashboard analytics than Tapas. You can see what demographic reads your series the most.
• Better web word editor.
• You can get your series reviewed.

Cons:

• No fucking goddamn italics or bold, at least when I joined until I abandoned the ship. You have to copy your passage into a certain italic/bold text converter online, and paste it.
• Rating system is often abused, to attack people you do not like, or to make an exchange to boost each others up. It is not true measure of enjoyment or quality. It feels so fake.
• The audience is worse than here, and not in "being critical" sense. Just try to look at the comments/reviews.
• Posting multiple times a day is recommended to keep your series afloat.
• Forum is shittier.
• You. Cannot. Delete. Your. Fucking. Novel. You just able to delete all the contents, but your novel will stay.
