Finally at that stage! (Patreon)

I'm finally at that stage of online authorship where I have been contacted by Webnovel to sign a contract with them. Of course, I won't be signing this, as even a second of googling will tell you that A&D's contract is unfair and that all their claims are a lie (you "keep" your copyright, but you lose the right to exercise it without permission from the company).

I intend to keep the John Brown Isekai and my other work free-to-read (with preview chapters) for all, and no A&D Entertainment will stop that. The above is the email I received from them in full (reminder that their claims above are either false or grossly misrepresented).

Below is the email in text form for convenience:

Hello The Cabbage Preacher,

My  name is Aurora. I work as a literary scout for AnDtertainment.com. We  are Singapore based Digital Publishing Company founded in 2018.

The secret to having thousands of authors signing contract with us is:
