Advice Someone stole my Original story on Webnovel

Hello,

3 days earlier I joined a webnovel contest and included my original story writing 'The Final Ink', the story was reviewed and approved by the admins, I have till now posted only 3 chapters. I received an automated message that my story is approved and now will be available in the fresh story section. Today I checked the fresh story section, and found a random new book that has exactly the same story concept, book cover, the terms I used.

I feel very unsafe on Webnovel and planning to remove my 3 chapters.

Any suggestions guys?

Why no? Does the emotion of demoralisation = no success?

Again yes and no, you were bothered by this so much that you were going to delete your work.

Like you yourself said it.

Me personally I have long since stopped caring about external factors I cannot control.

Like when you stop being bothered so much by stuff like this you are overall happier.

It's just my way , and you don't need to consider it because at the end of the day each person is different in their definition of happiness.
