Payment Method & Account Info
#Payment Method
We can pay you by bank transfer, and Payoneer. Payoneer is most recommended because you will receive payment soon after we send it out. For bank account payment, it may take some time before you can get it.
Please fill in the payment information carefully, if the payment information is filled incorrectly, you will bear the risk of payment failure. If the payment fails, it will automatically be passed on to the following month; if it’s successful but made to a wrong address due to false info, the payment will not be remade.
It is recommended that you choose the appropriate payment method, and the transfer fee will be borne by you.
*Important notice: If you find that the amount you received is less than the amount you should get, this is probably because the transfer fee is deducted. MegaNovel doesn't take any fee from your transaction.
#Account Info
You can fill in your payment info yourself. Access your user center, click on the “payment info” button to fill in your payment info.
You can check your earnings on your personal page by clicking on "details". Please use a desktop website for you might not be able to see it on your mobile phone.
*****Notice!*****
1. Editors are not able to help you change account info. You can modify your account info yourself.
2. Though you can modify your account info whenever you want, the amendment will take effect immediately if you modified your account info from 1st to 9th of every month. But on the other days, the amendment will take effect on the 1st of the next month.
3. Check your payment amount before 5th of each month. If you notice anything wrong, please contact your editor before 5th of each month, because it may be too late to make any changes to this months' payment after that day.
Payment Process
The income of the previous month will be settled on the first day of each month. And you will be paid from the 10th of each month. It usually takes about a week for the payment to proceed.
Unfortunately, you can't withdraw the money whenever you want. You will receive it monthly, or the month after you have over $100 income. If the total of your income is less than 100 USD, the income will be accumulated and carried on to next month until you have $100 in total.
Late Payment
We will start the payment process in a week after the 10th of each month. But it may take some time to proceed for international transactions, especially for bank transfers. Please wait for a few days after 10th. But sometimes it may get delayed for another few days because of holidays. Thanks for your understanding.
If you haven’t received your payment 2 weeks after the 10th, please contact your editor, and he/she can check the payment status for you!
For all the contracts signed before Apr 1st, 2021, your benefits will follow the old rules till you complete the book and stops receiving the monthly bonus.
#I heard that Payoneer transactions only take a $2 fee per transaction. Is it true and how do I set it up?
Yes, it's true. Payoneer has less transfer fee and that's also the reason why we recommend Payoneer instead of a bank account.
However, if you want the $2 fee policy to go into effect, your account needs to add GoodNovel's account to your payer's list.
Also, please make sure your payoneer account is verified. Usually, it needs your ID photo and some other information. Once the account is successfully linked and verified, the new transaction policy of $2 per transaction will come into effect!
#Can I get a Monthly Attendance Bonus (MAB) from the 1st month I sign?
Writers can only get MAB with exclusive stories.
You must update with at least 50k words for 25 days in a month, excluding the first 50k words for winning signing bonus
For example, let's say you sign the contract on Jan. 1st. and update 50k words before Jan. 5th, you have to keep updating for the next 25 days and arrive at 100k words if you want to get MAB from the first month you sign.
#If my book is completed but I forget to tell my editor it’s completed, can I still receive the completion bonus?
You need to contact your editor and ask your editor to mark your book as “completed” in order to receive the completion bonus.
#Will I still receive the profit share besides the exclusive writer’s benefit?
Yes. Unless you have discussed with your editor and reached a special agreement.
#If I have 2 exclusive books under the new plan at the same time, can I receive 2 MABs every month?
You can receive a signing bonus and a completion bonus for each exclusive book respectively. But in a single calendar month, you can only receive 1 MAB.

Hi, our fellow writers, as you all know by now, MegaNovel expects novels within the genre of System, Urban, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Adventure, Games, Paranormal, Mystery/Thriller/Horror, etc. Usually, novels with a MC who experiences a major character growth throughout the story and including elements like leveling up, weak-to-strong, face-slapping will be the most popular ones on our platform. For male genre novels, the leading character usually is a man. It’s easier for the readers to empathize with a MC who is of a same gender. The most important note to remember is the MC must focus more on empowering himself instead of only care about being involved in any romantic relationship (unless he does it for face-slapping or he cares about improving himself equally). Tone down the romantic side of the story, the novel must not be all about falling in love. Here are some examples for novels we do or do not expect:<
In recent years, son-in-law (urban) stories are becoming a popular genre in website novel categories. However, we found that not many authors know what son-in-law (urban) story is and how to write a good son-in-law (urban) story. In this article, we will explain it in detail.What’s the main idea of a son-in-law (urban) story?The son-in-law (urban) story is always with tight plot, strong emotional stimulation and plot reversal. For example, the main character is a son-in-law (urban) in a small family, he is bullied all the time but suddenly meets a turning point, the person the family wanted to rely on bowed to the MC instead. Actually, the real identity of the MC is the young master of a super rich family.The main character of son-in-law (urban) story always seems to be a useless man in the eyes of his wife, a totally loser in the eyes of his mother-in-law. But after he inherited his family wealth, he would sweep away the previous contempt and ridicule.The MC with a low status is
✅ 1. Complete plot structure - Cause, Process, Climax, Ending ⭕️ The Cause - is the starting point of the conflict, while the process and climax are the situations we need to describe emphatically. ⭕️ The Process - is when the main character is insulted or looked down upon, which is a concentration of negative emotions. ⭕️ The Climax - is the situation that main protagonist turn the table, which is the outburst of positive emotions. ⭕️ The Ending - is a brief introduction to the end of the story and the beginning of the next episode.When we design the story of the first paragraph, we need to understand why we are designing such a story. In other words, we should figure out what kind of plot we want to write, and then design stories that slap one’s face around that plot.>>> For example, In book “The Charismatic Charlie Wade”,- The Cause of the conflict: His aunt in a welfare house falls ill and needs treatment, so the MC asks his grandmother for money. (← Origin of the conflict)
