Which one? On what basis?
Both. On the basis of being stolen.
Remember to attach WN link to the original.

Also... my sleep deprived brain used report instead of reply to your message. Caught it after I noticed that my post didn't appear...
I'm sorry, mods.

Hey everyone,


quick question — I was just going through the content guidelines and noticed the “no translations” rule.
Does that also include translations of my own work, or is it mainly about people reposting translations of other authors without permission?
Just want to make sure I’m not accidentally breaking any rules 😅

Thanks a lot, and hope you’re all having a good one!

Translations of your own work is allowed. The no translations rule is there because people are reposting translations of other authors without permission and claims them as their own work.

This feels suspicious, but I don't have time to chase it right now.

You might need to prove that it's your original work that's been self-translated, but that's usually not a problem and something we've seen happen before.

This one is weird. I don't know what to make of it, some names and chapters are written both in English/Latin script and Chinese, the synopsis reads weirdly disjointed... I'm not sure if it's AI or bad translation, much less an illegal translation.

I checked the chapters; this is like getting a look into the head of Jekyll and Hyde mid-transformation. Holy fuck.

All of this author's works aresuspicious.
I hope they are translations because NTR is icky.
His comment "Reposting here again." also smells of repeat offender.
A comment of Webnovel confirms his stories or entire account were taken down before.

Edit: The Moms Betrayal one outright states the MC is 15 years old, so that one could be taken down on the basis of that alone, despite the disclaimer under it.

Fallen's gone from here now, but this one's real sus.


Checked the novels on WN and the ones I found came from 2 different authors.
It actually appears that guy might have three accounts on WN... Also weird one of the books has a different name on WN and here, but exact same description. Overpowered Corruption in Another World / Ero Dungeon Online: My Desires!
That said, I can't find anything on it being translations myself, but I'm not the best at that.

Original. Both WN and SH accs have the same logo, and the sources CGPT searched showed WN instead of whatever else. Also it uses JP names like a certified gaijin would lol

In one of my many unpublished stories, the MC had a JP name, but the backstory was that his parents were weebs; he didn't even like anime.
