I wrote a new novel for the old novel prequel. I uploaded a synopsis and cover 3 days before. Then just released the chapter 3 days later. The problem is that my novel did not appear on the update page even I could not look for it through the search. Even though my old novel is active and can be searched in the search. Can anyone help me?

Also, if asking for help, provide at least a novel name. Or link it.

Yeah, it has not yet been approved. When you post the novel, it says that it requires moderation approval. Wait 48 hours, and if it doesn't get approved by then, come back and ask for help.

You uploaded a chapter today. The wait time for novels is after a first chapter gets uploaded. Because to be accepted you need a chapter. Just wait for 24 hours, and if it's not accepted by then, you can try to message Tony.

Try to check alerts (the bell icon) for notification.

It is where the message from moderation goes should they delete your chapter, reject your cover, etc.

It is usually quite short too.

Your novel was apparently not rejected, it doesn't display on your profile, and it isn't searchable, but it does exist. I managed to comment on the first chapter (or rather zeroth, but nevermind), it is certainly not rejected.

3rd chapter isn't rejected so I wonder if there isn't any holdup.

Did you include any questionable art in the 3rd chapter?

Thanks everyone. Now my novel is active and available in search. It seems that I was wrong because I did not upload at least 1 chapter to be displayed to the public.

It seems like someone makes this exact same thread at least once a week.

Haiya,
I'm still new here.

On 30 June 2025, I published a complete story 14 chapters.
I can't find my novel in the search yet, it's been 48 hours+
My question, is there supposed to be a notification if the story is accepted/rejected?

Henlo.

First things first; you should have created a new thread instead of responding here. One problem should have one dedicated thread. Always.
It can take more than 48 hours, albeit rarely. Wait some more time, then create a thread if it still isn't accepted/rejected.
You only get a notification when it is rejected.

If you posted >10 chapters over 24 hours, you probably got flagged as a spammer.
I would suggest deleting all but the first four chapters from your account and then making a post in bug reports or just pinging the site owner ) an @ sign and his name, Tony) with an explanation as to what appears to have happened (i.e. accidental spamming), then post about two chapters a day until you have the whole thing up.
