Novelupdates replacing my releases with other groups *shade alert?*

lmao yeah ngl it is. it's just a reference to how big companies (aka Re:Library) bully out small companies (my group) through monopoly tactics in the market.

I would also like to believe that this is not NU's fault, but like I explained, it doesn't make sense how my post completely disappeared, while Re:Library's translation was never posted on any aggregator site. 

not sure where you have been reading but every "teaser" novel I have found has been anywhere from 1 whole chapter to a handful as a means of grabbing attention and nominating a pickup to more interested groups.

a single paragraph falls more under "bait" than "teaser" IMO 

The chapter is fixed.  

Wow. Uh. Yeah....

I confess. I accepted a HUMONGOUS bribe to delete your c1. Not from Re:Library, though, but from @AliceShiki. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if you hadn't randomly checked three months later! Darn it!

In all seriousness, please remember that Novel Updates is run mostly by volunteer staff, and we are, though it beggars belief, prone to error. We manually review dozens to hundreds of releases every single day, and it's not as difficult as you'd think for one to slip through the cracks. We rely on readers and translators to ensure releases are properly listed.

@Tony will have to check the logs to be sure, but I imagine the release was rejected by mistake. If both were released on the same day, it was possibly presumed to be a duplicate when we looked at it. The word "TEASER" in big bold letters may have misled us into believing it wasn't a full release, too. It's hard to say now, three months later, why we didn't accept it. 

I think you're over reacting too much, instead of making this type of post you should've just contacted the mods and settled the problem instead of making a thread like this since it's a little childish. Just my opinion though so no hate  

 

But just contacting the mods, without spreading drama on the forum, would be the proper way to do things. Making a big thread and ranting, however justified, probably isnt the best way to go about things. Invoking metoo is also a very strange thing to do if you havent suffered from unwanted sexual advances or harrassment.

I am curious why the extreme fuss, though, considering it was just a teaser and you yourself said you didnt plan to translate the series anyway. Just a curiosity i was wondering about.

I love RE:Library, because they do yuri/GL stuff, but i wouldnt call them big money.

Silver lining from this thread, though, i came to know about the novel in question  

WW is different because those teasers are to keep readers hyped for the next chapter by giving a small sneak peek, more accurately they would be termed "previews". called teasers because if the cliffhanger wasnt bad enough, they are showing they can provide a 2nd cliffhanger should you have the courage to check the preview xD
