Good day to all who have given a chance to this work!
This Chapter 0 is basically serving as a Cover Letter for this whole novel, not functioning as a Prologue. You might find it a bit strange but I thought it was best to approach it in this manner.
For the background, the setting will be inside Inkstone Tower or Inkstone Hotel, which shall be called Inkstone in the novel. It will be an equivalent to how the Continental was in the John Wick Movies. There, it served normal guests as well as assassins. Inkstone would be serving readers as well as Original Authors to match that premise.
The currency to use by Authors inside Inkstone will be Gold Stars, instead of Gold Coins (due to the existence of the Star Rating System).
Right now, I am imagining the Webnovel Staff/Office as the government or police authority in this imaginary world. Where would the translators and its readers be residing then? Why in Webnovel Tower/Hotel of course! But since I am an Original Author only, I can't tell stories of what happens inside that "hotel". I may be able to write some stories I've heard, similar to how news spreads, but that's about it.
I'll be making a few characters to note Right now as I have planned them.

Other authors will be added in due course once stories are developed for them and permission is granted to use their names in the stories. I will try my best to provide a link to their novels in each chapter that they have been written into, should the permission be given.
