    There are 3 books that I'm reading through WebNovel that doesn't have a NU page for it. I'd like to have these added so I can keep my lists on here up to date. I just want to know what the process is for requesting this.

    Well if webnovel is translating them, AKA a different group/translator, you can ask that group/translator to bring their work to NU. But, it may not work since many translated works that are popular are under contracts of webnovel, so you may want to ask them.

    You could always just make the pages yourself

    do you track it with the note option? chapters aren't added when the novel goes locked behind paywall

    question: are this translated novels or originals?

    It is normally up to the translator to add their series to NU ...

    Yes. I don't track them with chapters since I find they are not always updated. So I just add it in the notes what chapter I'm on, who's the MC and ML, and a little synopsis so when I go back to catch up, I remember what the book was about in the first place. LOL

    I'll take this route. I rather they add it then I do it myself. Thank you!

    I believe 2 are translated works and 1 is original. I'll ask the original author and translators if they can add them.

    Original works are not accepted by novelupdates, but rather scribblehub is for original works.

    Does scribblehub accept any original works? I thought it required the work do to be posted on certain domains...

    Scribblhub isn't a link aggregator like Nu. It hosts original works similar to RRL. So nope

    Hey, sorry for this shameless self-promotion but its quite fitting here... i started a thread (that didn't get much attention) regarding the option to add custom entries to the novel-list here as well... so that you can add books or stories there that aren't necessarily added (jet) on novelupdates. I guess that would kinda resolve your problem as well and provides even the chance to add stories from RR etc. as well.
