    So following the instructions listed, including the novel name and putting it into a category with the same name, but still having to manually add each chapter release, how do I get it added to be auto updated like other groups?

    For the series I'm currently working on:
    The Undefeatable Dad Who Was Kicked Out of His Daughter’s Hero Party For Being Way Too Strong
    I Almost Died After Being Trained Into A Dungeon, But I Endured And Returned With Incredible Strength

    If the releases that you manually added were already approved, then you just need to wait until Tony adds your novel to the bot that will automatically fetches your release. He needs to do this manually, so it may take a few days or weeks.

    Like... After you release a new chapter on your website, wait a few minutes to see if it appears on NU... If it doesn't, then add it yourself.

    Keep on doing this until the release appears on its own. At this point you'll know that the release is now being automatically fetched, so you don't need to add it manually.

    True, although even after adding my releases manually, I'm still having to wait 3-6 hours after releasing the chapter on my site and me sending a add release for the chapter before it actually pops up on NU as a release

    Yeah, not much can be done other than waiting. Tony will add it to the bot at some point.

    Until then, keep adding it manually.

    Hey Tony I want to ask if Novel Updates Uses Custom Rss Importer From Xenforo To Detect Category + And Title For Auto Loading.

    I use Blogger And every Atom, RSS, Or Feed Always Redirects To Feedbunner Does That Affect Automatic Updates?

    Novel Updates does not use Xenforo, only the forums use it.

    How can you update a novel if you have no translation group nor intention to be in one?, I just want to update the translated novel, and be done with it.

    You need to give more context for us to better understand your situation <.<

    Creating a group in NU is basically just adding your name and the site's url.

    that explains nothing. you don't have to join a group to add a release, you can just make up a group that just consists of you. you can then add group to NU. You also need to have a link for each chapter (using nuf is not an option). if you try wordpress or scribblehub if you want, you just need a site to to upload the translations to.

    Hello, I'm working on a series called "Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy," but it doesn't have an automatic update yet.
    Is something wrong? Or does it need some time? Thank you...

    Wildlioness group is not approved somehow, one of them is grammar and I checked and corrected these errors due to a few errors, and it looked like the group, series had already been added, so I sent it from the add-release and I'm waiting for it to be approved, It's been a long day but still not approved, I'm still waiting.

    Read the policy, if you can't understand why your submissions are rejected then find someone who can help you understand them.

    After publishing my first group, it is still not confirmed. I spoke to a few staff members and they told me there were errors, so I looked at my novel and corrected a few grammatical errors and words to be corrected and resubmitted it but it was still not approved, so I looked at the novel again. there seems to be no error i guess i will give up thanks for everything nu group seems really hard to add.

    Get someone fluent in English you know and let them read the policy I linked. Then get them to read your chapter. After that, let them explain to you in a language you can understand why your chapters are rejected.
