    not sure where you have been reading but every "teaser" novel I have found has been anywhere from 1 whole chapter to a handful as a means of grabbing attention and nominating a pickup to more interested groups.

    a single paragraph falls more under "bait" than "teaser" IMO

    I was thinking about WuxiaWorld and their 'teaser' for the next upcoming chapter.

    WW is different because those teasers are to keep readers hyped for the next chapter by giving a small sneak peek, more accurately they would be termed "previews". called teasers because if the cliffhanger wasnt bad enough, they are showing they can provide a 2nd cliffhanger should you have the courage to check the preview xD

    So many sites have previews called teasers... and there are definitely novel teasers like the one in this thread.



    The current working theories by Runsing and Westeller are based on the information that both submissions happened to post on the same day. There is a sort of safety setting on NU side that prevents the same chapter number from getting accepted on the date and would not allow the chapter number to be confirmed. A mod trying to approve chapters submitted on the same day likely thought it was a (1) double submission, (2) not a full chapter due to the teaser label, or (3) a collaboration between groups which both host the chapter (this is a really common occurrence actually, and we only link a single group). It being deleted later is possible, but unlikely.

    @flowingcloud Did you submit just the novel or the novel and the chapter? Can you submit the chapter again with the date set a day before or a day after? Getting confirmation on the why will have to wait for our admin, but we can fix the now. ^_^

    I’ll try to change or sort the date to July 3rd, but it may temporarily not show as such.

    Wow. Uh. Yeah....

    I confess. I accepted a HUMONGOUS bribe to delete your c1. Not from Re:Library, though, but from @AliceShiki. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if you hadn't randomly checked three months later! Darn it!

    In all seriousness, please remember that Novel Updates is run mostly by volunteer staff, and we are, though it beggars belief, prone to error. We manually review dozens to hundreds of releases every single day, and it's not as difficult as you'd think for one to slip through the cracks. We rely on readers and translators to ensure releases are properly listed.

    @Tony will have to check the logs to be sure, but I imagine the release was rejected by mistake. If both were released on the same day, it was possibly presumed to be a duplicate when we looked at it. The word "TEASER" in big bold letters may have misled us into believing it wasn't a full release, too. It's hard to say now, three months later, why we didn't accept it.

    Eh? Why would I bribe you to reject a chapter when I could bribe you to tease @Tony-chan instead?
