webnovel

Explanation

So here is why the story got deleted.

I already had several issues with Webnovel but so far, I was giving it a try. The last straw, which is the main reason the story got deleted, leaving nothing behind is because of this message:

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

"Your work Overnight: A Summoner Fox Spirit Tale. is restricted!

As Chinese or Korean appears in the chapter content (or chapter title, book title, abbreviation and synopsis ), your work will not be voted and gifted. After you modify the content, please contact the platform editor for processing as soon as possible."

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

Every platform have its policy and its totally okay. What is not okay is:

-that it got restricted without sending me a warning. Like "You have 24h to change your chapter or it will be restricted".

-that it was up to me to contact the platform editor but they didn't even left the relevant contact info. I don't have time for this. It was way easier to delete everything and start afresh than search the contact info, email them and wait for them to unrestricted the novel.

-since it was affecting ranking, which is the ONLY way to make your novel know for free within the system, I'm thinking of migrating to another platform more user friendly.

-I'm writing novel for fun, not for money. However most of the tools available are for monetized works. I was never interested in the first place. But my time, especially my free time, is valuable, so should be yours.

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

My mistake was to include Korean (which I didn't know was wrong) and Japanese (with Kanji) in a single none-fiction chapter of an auxiliary volume. So, just as the title said, this novel was "Deleted for cause of 'Restriction'.

I really would like to say I'm sorry but I'm not.
