    Does the product welcome new writers? I'm writing a romance novel right now. It is my first book.

    From what I learnt, yes, they welcome all writers at the beginning stage. i guess as long as the stories are good, then it doesn't matter

    While I normally would jump at that. I recently got contracted for Ringdomstory. Good people, but I must say I have heard good things from Fictum.

    I checked with my friend, and they say they would send you APK package if you're interested. Just email them and I believe they would let you know how to proceed.

    If you need just download a vpn and get it off the internet typically that works.

    If you want something similar that is outside the usa Ringdom is the one I use right now for my signed story.

    That works also. VPNs or APK packages are pretty easy. I would recommend your friend get them to put a APK download link on main page of the site.

    Unlike Webnovel I heard they treat you pretty decently. Webnovel is notorious for ignoring obvious fake accounts/reviews that pump up stories that don't deserve spot like. That is why places like Fictum and Ringdom are getting more popular.

    Let her know if she needs anything else. I'm not an expert, but I work cyber security, website security, client system IT management. I just write my story on the side haha.

    My first two that are signed are Eastern inspired fantasy. I hesitate to call them "wuxia" as I take aspects of several genra. My goal was to make a hybrid between the chinese webnovel cultivation story and japanese/korean light novel with a bit of western influence. I think it turned out decent enough. Got about 300 pages so far and about 50~60 pages posted so far.


    A dance of Mortals and Immortals. Factions war and a eternal conflict as old as the world brews.
    Rize a girl hated for her eyes and who no one else accepts is accepted by the most unlikely of beings.
    Events will follow that will shake the earth and heavens to their core.

    Questions!
    1 : Can we insert a story that we are already writing in another app?
    2 : There's no ads?

    I believe you can. New apps always welcome writers, be it exclusive or non-exclusive.
    And their profit model for the moment is to display ads in stories and split the revenue with authors. But they also told me that paid program is also possible in the future, depending on how everything goes.
