Hello everyone,

It me shames a bit to post a chapter, as I intended to only post one to announce the release of the Webtoon; but I have an identity usurpation/piracy problem, and I need your help.

I have been informed that someone is using a variant of my penname on webnovel.com to not only steal my content, but that of other authors (including Blood Shaper on Royal Road):

https://www.webnovel.com/profile/4318538071

https://www.webnovel.com/book/vainqueur-.-the-dragon-king_21143310405326205

I actually created a webnovel account to report this and to forestall attempts at usurpation in the future (my real Void Herald placeholder profile here: https://www.webnovel.com/profile/4306026523).

Piracy has also been a problem for me lately, which is why I changed my pen name to include my real one. ID theft is something else and crossing a line, as the person is also pretending to be me in the reviews/comments while copying the work of other authors. People PM me asking me if I’m cross posting/stealing somebody else’s work, which infuriates me more than you can possibly imagine.

It’s undragonly.

So I would be thankful if you could review bomb and report the shit out of this impostor until he goes away.

I am also making a pledge here. If you’re reading Vainqueur the Dragon, The Perfect Run, Magik Online, The Legend of Kairos, and Never Die Twice anywhere else than Amazon, Royal Road, Patreon, or Tapas, this is not me. This is someone else either pretending to be me, or a pirate website publishing my content without my authorization.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

So, if you’re seeing this on Ranobes, Novelhall, or other pirate websites.

Maybe you don’t know it, but the stories you’re reading are available for free on Royal Road already; Tapas, Amazon Kindle and Patreon are methods to support me if you love my work or help fund adaptations (Vainqueur the Dragon’s webtoon adaptation was only possible because of your support on Tapas, for example). Though I do intend to get The Legend of Kairos to KDP one day, I have been honest about it early, you’ll get warned ahead of time, and this is part of a publishing deal.
