    Hi Tony,

    I'm from GoodNovel Team, and I have been trying to get our translation novel up here. But we have applied twice but we couldn't seem to find the group or series that we submitted anywhere.

    The group name is GoodNovel;

    and the series name is Adorable Baby at the Door: Mommy, Please Sign

    Could you please help me with it? Mucho appreciated~

    Looking forward to your reply

    Inker

    Hmm maybe it's because your site looks like an aggregator? NU doesn't usually link to those...

    *summons @runsing*

    Anyways, did you try submitting any release for the series in question? Series are only approved after a release for them is available.

    Then just wait until Runsing (he is a mod for NU) gets online and sees this thread, he'll help you out with anything else you need.

    There isn't much more that normal users can do for you~

    @runsing just to chip in, while I have no idea what on earth made them think it was a good idea to rehost classic novels like Pride and Prejudice, I'm fairly certain those novels are within the public domain and fully legal to rehost. Even if it's pointless and makes them look shady, they're not breaking any laws (as far as I'm aware). ... I didn't see this group's submissions, however, and don't know if that's the (only) reason they were rejected. I'll leave this to you.

    I don't have any of those (novel/group) in my log at all, though i have seen the submitted novel page. There is no pending group (at the time of this post) with that name at all in the list.
    I don't have anything with *goodnovel* keyword in my entire browser's history either, so this is the first time i've heard of the name/visit the site.

    my guess is,
    A. OP either misunderstood the process of submitting novels and releases to NU, and only submitted novels, but never group nor chapter links
    or
    B. it was rejected by someone of higher level than me. (welp)

    if it was A, then please read this thread first
    https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/how-does-novel-updates-work.21477/
    to recap, the process goes like this
    1. add group name/site link (only once, to get the name into the system)
    2. add novel page (it won't show up until no.4)
    3. add chapters
    4. wait for (online) mods to approve the submission(s).

    B. is higly unlikely (almost, but not impossible), but i'll confirm it later just in case.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for looking into this!

    That's so good to know that the novel is at least there already. I did add the group and series, but I will add them again now, hope I will do it right this time~

    Thanks for the help and for the trouble I might cause you in advance

    Inker

    Hi there, I just submitted to add the group "GoodNovel" and the series "Adorable Baby at the Door: Mommy, Please Sign" again, hope I did it right this time.

    I'd really appreciate it if you could check it for me again, mucho appreciateeeeed

    you still need to submit chapters for it to go live. otherwise it'll stay in pending, and gets removed after a while.

    Yes I did just now.

    Want to make sure you are talking about chapters adding in the "release" page, right? Or is there a fourth thing that I need to submit?

    I just submitted the v1c193

    Alright. We resolved the issue we had on our end. Please resubmit your novels and chapters.

    Keep in mind, however, that Novel Updates only links to releases freely available online. This means we'll have to reject anything that's currently locked behind any kind of registration or payment requirements. We are happy, however, to link to chapters that are free - even if later chapters in the novel are not.

    Thanks so much for solving the problem!!!

    We DO have free books also, I will re-submit the free chapters and the free books!!

    Thanks a lot!

    I still have a question though, if I upload a free chapter of a book that's locked in the later chapters, would NovelUpdates still update my chapters released in the future (they would be locked)?

    example : Book A has 700 chapters translated, first 250 are free.
    we'll list up to 250 and then stopped.
    if any of the first 250 gets locked later, we'll remove the listing of the affected chapters.

    btw, that Marriage to the End. what is its original title? i don't see author name nor language included in the submitted page.

    Sorry about that, I will re-submit that one in a minute. I want to make sure that the "language" is asking about the original language?

    And another question, if some chapters got unlocked after the 250 chapters in your example, would you then automatically update them?

    yes. the story is a translation, isn't it?

    no. unless you have an rss feed system where any new unlocked chapters gets 'announced' and added to your rss feed where NU bot can then read it from.

    otherwise, they'll have to be manually submitted.

    love you guysss

    Inker

    We have currently finished the uploading of the free chapters on our site, so if I submit now, will all the free chapters be automatically updated on NU? And where could I find them, would they appear in today's updates?
