So i tried doing a google search of my novel the trinity of death and found these links that uses literally my novel's link and story synopsis book cover and etc to redirect the search into their links. Here are the links:
This one is the first:
Source: Royal Road https://share.google/ks0KELaL74zkgY6ln
this one is the second: https://share.google/DzNduJulf9zFWIR6e
I reported these to the RR platforms and sent a report ticket. What's else is there to do, I'd appreciate any kind of assistance to secure my book. View attachment 49071View attachment 49072View attachment 49069View attachment 49070

To post on RR, you need to provide proof of ownership if the story is up on other sites. They are pretty thorough, so...

As Tasty said, proof. You need to provide proof.

And why do you keep linking to the "an unwritten story"? its a different book than what you have so... huh?

The fact that Google hashes your image is not their fault; those are different books, only related to yours by similiar tags that the SEO scans. Also:

I think you just can't internet well.

This is why Google Search spat out your image and book title for An Unwritten Story: RR recommends your story in that other story.

This is not theft, nor is it the other writer’s fault. Case closed.

So it was the book cover?

I guess I was too indirect. Google search is the one that makes the error. There's no thievery or whatsoever. I don't know why it happens because you can just google search other RR series and only get its main link. The source can be anything. Maybe google thought your RR story is also not the original, so it decided all links are valid. Maybe it has random episodes of lumping some AI generated things on the internet together, and your story got the short end of the stick.

You can try google search your cover again and see that there are more than those two examples, unrelated RR stories linked to it. If you check them one by one, you can see your story on [OTHERS ALSO LIKED].

That's kind of also my problem every time i tried to upload my book cover in RR it resizes all on its own. That's why my book cover isn't properly pasted.

I appreciate your advice good sir. Thank you. Is it fixable though?

 

[Makimaam]

See the first image (or left) is from Google search, and it practically spits out all the books RR recommends that are similar to Unwritten Story. Check the bottom of Unwritten Story in the second image, the same books are there. It’s just google’s search algorithm, and you can’t do anything about it.

 

[strayCat0]

You can send another ticket, but without throwing baseless accusations this time. Just repeat what I said. Royalroad is relatively old enough, so it probably has dealt with something like this before. They may know how to fix it (or not).

Otherwise, you have to deal with google search yourself. Give feedback to those wrong results while including the link to your story and wait. I don't know if google is responsive though.

But look the title of the book is literally "an unwritten story" and the description is my book's previous description and the title of my book is literally right there.

I'll do just that. Thank you for giving me a helpful suggestion good sir.

There sir, look the name "An Unwritten story."

As I said, you can't internet and don't understand how search engines work.

Nobody stole anything; you just don't understand how searches work. I already told you why that shows up, and others explained it too. Before throwing out accusations like this (and if it's on RR, why are you even here with it?), look for more information because it's not really a reasonable thing to do.

It's google. There's really nothing more to say other than that. And if I may sound rude, you should understand perfectly why because you use AI. If it was several years ago, google search may be functional, but now it's mostly unusable.

You're lucky it gives identical images at all, some images don't even have that right.

We didnt even get to see what prompt they use so i would put it down to them being bad at internet like corty said.
