Chapter 349: Chapter 231 How Can a Web Novel Writer Be So Amazing, It’s Impossible to Live? (5800-Word Mega Chapter)_3

[Please don’t immediately reject my request!]
[Right, a website in Southeast Asia pirated all of your novels. I’ve dealt with it, and I believe your website has already informed you.]
Lin Chuan frowned slightly as he read the message.
I heard from Youyou a while back that one or two of my novels had been pirated, but Youyou said legal was taking care of it.
This website pirated all of them?
Outrageous!
Ding Dong Ding Dong!
As he was pondering this, he received a message from editor Youyou: “Babe, do you know about the Fries Novel affair?”
“Which website is Fries Novel?” Lin Chuan asked.
“It’s a Southeast Asian novel site that made its fortune by pirating novels. It has pirated all of your novels,” Youyou explained immediately.
Lin Chuan read Youyou’s message, glanced at @Hou’s private message, and replied to Youyou: “I just found out myself.”
“Fries Novel will return all the pirated income and will compensate you double personally. They’ve already taken down all your novels and are applying for authorization now,”
Youyou replied with a smile on the other end of the internet.
“Not bad, it seems.”
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.
This reader did a good deed.
Normally, authors can only stare helplessly when their work is pirated.
If plagiarized, they can only post on web novel forums, click to report, fight a bit, and if the opposing site flatly denies it, then it’s time to go legal.
A certain free major domestic site and a paid site once fought a year-long lawsuit over a single book.
Ordinary authors, without the strong support of a novel platform, find it nearly impossible to defend their rights.
In cross-border piracy cases, even if the novel platform steps in, it’s usually to no avail.
Special measures are the only option.
“Was it one of your readers who did this for you?” Youyou asked.
Lin Chuan chuckled and replied, “How did you know?”
“I guessed; your readers are just like you.”
Youyou teased with a grin.
Lin Chuan, who had been somewhat pleased until now, could not help but feel a black line emerging on his face: “Ahem, I’m just a writer. Writing doesn’t mean doing; there is a difference.”
“Okay, okay, I get it.”
Youyou replied cheerfully.
Lin Chuan smirked and then turned his attention back to the user @Monkey.
After thinking a bit, he replied: “Thank you.”
Perhaps the other person had been waiting at the computer all this time, because as soon as Lin Chuan sent the message, the other side replied instantly:
“Mr. Lin, I’ve finally reached you.”
“It was just a small effort to deal with the pirated novels, no need to thank me.”
Inside the headquarters of Fries Novel,
Leo, using Hou’s account, contacted Lin Chuan, a look of excitement on his face, reflected in the faces of the few accompanying him.
Hou and Brother Hao huddled in a corner, unsure why the group was so thrilled, as if they were starstruck.
Could it just be because they contacted a web novel writer?
In their line of work, they knew full well that web novel writers were like beasts of burden, and that even if they infringed upon their rights, no one would trouble them.
At most, a shout on the internet or sending out a lawyer’s letter.
Then, nothing would follow.
A web novel writer, what power could they have?
But this time, they miscalculated!
They never expected that a group resembling the military, as fanatical as super fans, would barge in, determined to seek justice for that web novel writer.
A web novelist so powerful, didn’t they let others live?
It was truly ridiculous!
But at this moment, they didn’t dare express any doubt, fearing that these murderous-looking folks might snap and pop them off for real!
Quickly,
Lin Chuan replied: “Angelina mentioned you were looking for me for some reason?”
