Hello, those of you who bothered to read this book. Don't worry; this isn't a dumb "thanks for x number of reads" announcement, nor is it a "I'm so done with writing this" announcement. This is important because of something I saw recently.
I was hecking bored, so I googled my book title and my Wattpad username to see what would come up. My Wattpad posts did come up, but what also came up was a website called NovelHD. Ever since I started posting this book (July 2021), they have been reposting my chapters without my permission, even the cover. I did some research on planet Reddit and found out I'm not the only one.
With more research, I found that NovelHD is a Vietnamese website that copies people's Wattpad works all the time. My book was posted by their admin, the site itself. So here's the announcement:
IF YOU ARE POSTING YOUR OWN STORY ON WATTPAD, MAKE SURE IT'S NOT BEING PIRATED ALREADY. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT USE NOVELHD!!!!!
I'm obviously upset about this because I'm a moody teenager who just had something really important stolen from her, but I was also wondering if you guys had any idea what I should do next. My family is trying to look into it, but we don't know of much we can do since the site is owned by a foreign country.
So yeah, sorry this wasn't a new chapter. I have started Chapter 25 and I'm pretty excited about it, as we are leading up to the climax of the book. I just wanted to let you guys know that if you are posting on Wattpad your book is at risk, and to ask for advice on what I should do.
This is where I'd say thanks for reading, but I promised this wouldn't be a sappy chapter like that, soooooooo... bye?
