(And now, we come to the end of a version of the royalty contract, excluding the appendix section for attachments. This is not the fixed rate contract that has the minimum word count quota per month to get a 400 usd payment. That's another contract entirely. But that's basically like a ghostwriting contract or service agreement if it is fixed rate.
I kind of feel bad and worry for those who signed especially with what is written here and what WN can legally do to them, if there were no revisions, changes or addendums done to the contract to remove any and all ambiguity. But they were told to seek legal counsel and not sign with just themselves present. They are adults so I hope they know what they got themselves into, especially the newer batch of authors who signed.
Good luck to you guys and I hope the usual Webnovel change in attitude won't happen until after you've fully left your contract obligations. But as it appears, and as the wording implies, there is no end to the first option obligation.
This would be the best place to discuss what has been read through.)
