    Hi! I just published my novel and I wondered in which forums I should ask for reviews and comments?

    you just clickbaited me into going to QI. Not cool, fellow creator. And I am PRETTY sure that QI should have some sort of rating/review option for its users. I might be in a bad mood, but I hope you succeed in your creative pursuits.

    no, what I meant was if there are places that a lot of people see that I can there recommend them my novel.

    You should try posting on Scribblehub. it has the same owner as Novelupdate and also has its forum. You could try asking for feedback on Story Feedback under the Author subforum.

    I suggest you dont. You dont want multiple editions of your work to be out online. that will make piracy easier, if it ends up being successful.

    when you know there is only one legal place to read something, you head to it. Or at least, there is less chance you will mistake a pirate for a real writer. But when you have it on multiple places, the origin gets confusing.

    Don't they have a forum in Qidian? Can't you ask for reviews there?

    I suggest not writing your stuff on Qi... if your novel ends up being successful. They’ll try and take it away from you and you’ll be left with barely peanuts(if they want to be magnanimous ie) XD

    That’s something you gotta check in the FAQ at QI.... but if you didn’t sign any TnC then I guess you can?
