So I would just like to warn you all. There is a website that is stealing wattpad books. I have seen a few warnings in other books, telling of how this website is stealing books, and supposedly said site is riddled with malware, so I say best not to even open the site.

I haven't brought it up as I thought it was all over, but lo and behold, I google the name of my book plus my username, just cos I was curious to see if my book was popular enough to show up on google, and it turns out this site has my book.

The only reason I could tell this was my book was 1, The username, and 2, the description is identical to mine (Including where I spelled "of" wrong and was too lazy to correct it)

I was so proud of this book, but now I am genuinely contemplating unpublishing it, just so it won't be on that site. However, from what some books say on here, it stays on the site, it just won't load, which is even making me contemplate deleting my books just because I don't want them on some random site that doesn't have permission to have them.

It makes me uncomfortable and sad to know that people are taking my works and copying to other sources without permission. I know that was a risk, but this site isn't just stealing my book, it's stole hundreds of millions of books and is still doing so. I wish I could report the site, but the only method I am aware of involves opening the site, and I would rather not risk that as my laptop and phone are literally my life, and I don't want a virus.

Apparently, this site is a mirror site, so if I am not mistaken it directly copy's wattpad data and that's how it has all of these books. Some data on wattpad also includes people who post face reveals in their books, which means very personal things are also being put on a site without permission, which if I am not mistaken, is highly illegal.

It's been going on for three years now judging by the dates of when some warnings have been posted on here. Heck, if I could I would rally an army of wattpadians to whoop that site's creator's butt. (Yes I changed this bit, I felt bad for swearing 🙁)

 wattpad please try to help us stop this, none of us want our books copied without permission.

Update:

They also stole my black butler boyfriend scearios book. They aren't the only sit =e though, as you can see a site called Kimostories has also stolen that one.

Furthermore, I google translated the phrase "Doc Truyen". It is Vietnamese (meaning read stories), which begs the question: Why do they need to steal books that are English, if they aren't english?

From the warnings I've seen on here, some people have been on the site and the books are still in English so what the Hell are they gaining from stealing people's books. Apparently, even unpublished books show up, but can't be opened. I still refuse to open the site, as I refuse to risk getting a virus.

Right now I really wanna pull a 11037 on the creator of that site. (If you get this you are a legend) Okay so maybe not, I don't agree with murder.
