Welcome!
Most people don’t really know what Webnovel looks for when selecting stories, or how exactly an author gets a contract.
In this article, I’ll share with you some details that very few people talk about—and in fact, you’ll rarely find them online. These come from my own experience.
I’d also like to remind you that I’ll be posting more tips and guidance for new readers and writers on our website. So I hope you visit and check them out—I’m sure you’ll find plenty of useful information there.
The First Question: What Are the Contract Requirements?
Many authors often wonder: “Why do I keep writing consistently, yet still get rejected for different reasons?”
Let’s go through some of the common mistakes that may cause your novel to be rejected by Webnovel:
1. Not Reviewing the Current Season’s Requirements
What do I mean by this?
Webnovel has different priorities depending on the time of year. For example, the types of novels they’re looking for in April may not be the same as those in October. So always check the latest trends and genres that Webnovel is actively seeking.
2. Overusing AI-Generated Content
Webnovel is very cautious about AI-generated material. They want to avoid legal issues in certain countries and maintain their ranking on Google. Because of this, if your work relies too heavily on AI, it’s likely to be rejected. Always run your chapters through AI detection tools before publishing to be safe.
3. Ignoring Promotion
This is something many new writers overlook. Remember: the decision to give you a contract is ultimately made by a human editor. They will consider how well your story is performing on the platform. If your novel already has a steady readership, your chances of acceptance go up significantly. That’s why you should actively promote your novel and share a good amount of free chapters to attract and retain readers before applying for a contract.
4. Writing Style That Doesn’t Fit Webnovel’s Market
You might be asking: “What does that mean?”
It’s simple—read the top, most popular novels on Webnovel. Try to make your writing style closer to what readers on the platform are already enjoying. Avoid overly traditional or Western “classic” styles that can feel slow or dull. Webnovel’s audience is more familiar with fast-paced, engaging styles inspired by Eastern web novels.
