🔥 # Is MegaNovel a legit platform?
Of course yes! Check out website (https://www.meganovel.com) or d/o/w/n/l/o/a/d our app in G/o/o/g/l/e Play or App store, you’ll find that MN is a growing and prospering platform!
We’re a Singapore company and we value legitimacy, because we consider legitimacy the foundation of gaining trust and building a healthy relationship with our authors. As a new platform, we have gained many loyal readers and authors who place their trust in us. Currently, we have thousands of authors and the number is still growing fast.
We know that there are more and more writing platforms out there, and the competition is harsh. There are even some platforms that attack us and badmouth us. Rumors on Internet are always easy to spread but hard to stop, and many will be misguided if they don't know much about us beforehand.
We know we are not perfect. But we also know that it's such a horrible thing to badmouth competitors just to get ahead of the game, it's the kind of movement that we'll NEVER adopt! MegaNovel aims only to provide the best stage for the great authors we have to shine in their talent, and we believe that the best platform will finally win over the best writers. If you ever find out us doing similar things, please scold us hard!
Taking in more authors is, of course, important for a platform. But what's more important is to be a truthful and sincere team, so that we can proudly say out loud "I'm a Meganovelist!"
All in all, thank you very much for your trust and support. MegaNovel loves you!
We know that it’s hard to trust someone and some company over the Internet, so every contract of ours is signed in a very formal way. We send and sign our contracts through HelloSign system, a commonly used e-signature system. All contracts will be reviewed by our lawyer, making sure they are legal and appropriate. This is to make sure that all contracts have legal effect so that both our rights and authors’ rights will be protected.
If you have concerns about the terms and conditions in our contracts, you can directly contact one of our editors and he/she will be happy to answer your questions. If you don’t know any MegaNovel editor yet, you can also send an email to contact@meganovel.com for more information.
You’re also welcome to join our online community where there are our editors and many MN contracted authors, you can find more info about us and our authors there. Join us and let us provide you with more support for your writing career!

✅ 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.

Books Wanted by Meganovel
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:<
