This is just a note, as I have come across another issue I didn't expect to see.

If you submit a novel that is extremely similar to a published novel, I will probably notice.

If you have a nearly identical plot I will side eye.

If you wholesale copied lines from the book and also copied some of the characters, I will give you a 0 and blacklist you.

This will ESPECIALLY happen if you failed to label your book as fanfiction and put it in another genre instead.

Hell I might even let it slide if you clearly label it.

Seriously though don't rip off other people's books. It makes me unhappy.
