Oh man. And here I thought this shitty story arc was already over for good. Listen up, young one.
Step 1: Run for your life.
Step 2: Read this poetic little piece of literature I've been keeping in my sleeve.
TL;DR Whatever you do, DON'T MINGLE WITH THOSE PEOPLE. That's for your own good.
So they email you saying they non-exclusive and won't own the rights of your story but the clause 3 of their contract said you give your rights to them? Isn't this just bullshit at this point? Why even telling that they let you own the rights of your story if one of the first clause said otherwise.
There even a payback of 200% the income if I want to cancel it.
Oh
You guys dont know about TENCENT/Webnovel(en-version of QIDIAN website) being scummy publisher ?
Tencent/qidian already had scummy reputation, like
-revoking contract
-bad pay
-problematic deadlines
-copyrights
-ghost writing
etc
BUT IN 2020ish
it worsened MORE
bc a new leader, somehow decided to implement a new contract
where ANY new WN signed, all copyrights belong to them (imagine blizzard like WC3 reforged controversy)
YOU MUST TELL THE ESTIMATED DEADLINE CONCLUSION of your work, BEFOREHAND
and if not respecting it, had the rights to end the series and possibly get "indemnities"
Only "veteran authors" like Tang San (author of DOULUO DALU = Soul Land 1,2,3,4)
have a slightly better contract without being stolen copyrights
After much fighting, contract was changed back and novel-depart-leader switched
But the already bad reputation flopped to bottom
And made "FALOO" win a ton of popularity
(especially high with anti-pirating system by simply putting IMAGE for the text behind paywall)
ps :
anecdote, the author of Grave robbers' chronicles, WN was immensely popular in china AND started a new WHOLE NEW genre/tag
had copyrights totally taken and couldnt get penny nor sue when movies of the IP were garbage
EDIT :

So yeah, its why i dont bother going reading on WEBNOVEL
Write a story about a serial killer that hunts down and murders scammers in the most brutal and horrifying ways you can imagine because he was manipulated and scammed out of his own hard work by them
And then see if they're still interested
That is actually a very good idea. Plot wise, at least.
don't waste your time, waste theirs!
send them the entire text of child ballad #4 without explanation

Kinda pointless
Just like ENglish side
the boss dont care, and its part-timers with pitifully low salary OR EVEN NONE, that will check it
If even they get a good series, its the sub-leader of the group that will get the benefits of "finding a good work" but not the part-timer
Their lives are already so bad with overpriced land price in big city, that it would probably make the part-timer chuckle seeing the guro chapter
and even enjoy it
compared to their shitty and keep telling to work hard for the company
---------
ps random: leader gone to hidden bunker, when in 202#, floods flooded the cities and the anti-flood system that cost billions didnt work, and even used staff to diverte them to "small cities/villages". THEN controlled propaganda to portray the "foreigner journalists" as ALARMISTS DEVILS for "EXAGERATING DEATH NUMBERS" and "destroying our great unity". The worse is that it worked, redirect anger.
