Did the dating company transfer? Was the novel still written by the original author? There was no public information to confirm or deny the operation of the dating company and the author's creation. However, according to the background and storyline of the novel, it was originally created by the Japanese manga artist Kubo Mitsurou, while the dating company was responsible for promoting and operating the novel. After the establishment of the dating company, the company promoted and promoted the dating company through various channels, including organizing various activities, releasing peripheral products, etc. Although we don't know the exact operation of the company, judging from the popularity of the dating battle, the company should have achieved a certain degree of success. As for the author of the Battle of the Date, although Kubo Mitsurou had already left the company, the storyline and character design of the Battle of the Date were all completed by him alone. Therefore, it could be said that the dating battle was still a work created by the original author and not a work that was changed by the company.
My answer seemed to be wrong. Which novel are you referring to? I need more context to answer your question.
I'm not sure which novel you're referring to, but generally speaking, the creation of a novel is a process of teamwork. Different authors may work together to create different chapters of the same novel. Therefore, he had no choice.
Usually, the novels online were written by the original author, but there might be some situations. If the novel is being serialised on a website, the website's administrator or editor may modify and edit the novel to suit the needs and tastes of the readers. This might cause some novels to be different from the original author's creation. If the novel was written by multiple authors, each author might write the novel according to their own creativity and style. In this case, there might be some novels with similar plots and character designs to the original author's works, but there might also be some novels that were different from the original author's works. Online novels are usually written by the original author, but in some cases, editors or authors may modify or create different versions of the novel.
If the original author sold the copyright to a film company, the original author had the right to interfere when the film company adapted the novel at will. This was because according to the copyright law, film companies could only legally obtain copyright by adapting the novel under the premise of abiding by the original author's wishes. If the film company adapted the novel without permission, the original author had the right to ask the film company to stop the adaptation and compensate for the losses. Of course, if the original author was dissatisfied with the film company's adaptation, they could also use legal means to protect their rights. In this case, the original author could sue the film company through the copyright dispute resolution agency or the court to stop the copyright violation and compensate for the losses. Therefore, if the original author sold the copyright to a film company, the original author had the right to interfere when the film company adapted the novel at will, but he had to abide by the relevant laws and regulations.
If the author sold the copyright to a film company, the author had the right to interfere with the film company's adaptation of the novel. This was because according to the provisions of the copyright law, copyright included the right to adapt, translate, compile, and so on. The right to adapt referred to the right to adapt, transplant, combine, or change the structure of an existing work. If the film company arbitrarily adapted the novel without the consent of the original author, then the original author had the right to interfere with the adaptation and claim rights. This was because the film company's adaptation behavior might violate the original author's creativity, ideology, artistry, and other rights, thus damaging the legal rights of the original author. Therefore, if the original author sold the copyright to a film company, the original author had the right to interfere and claim rights to ensure that his rights were protected when the film company arbitrarily adapted the novel.
After the novel was bought out, the signature would usually be the original author, but the specific ownership might vary according to the terms of the contract. In some cases, the buyer may have the right to use the copyright first, meaning that the novel cannot be adapted into other forms of work without authorization. But under normal circumstances, the original author still had the right to enjoy the copyright and use it for commercial purposes, including adapting it into movies, TV series, games, or other forms of work. If the novel was bought out and used for commercial purposes, the original author could still ask for compensation.
According to what I know about online novels," Coiling Dragon " doesn't have a successor. It's a fantasy novel created by the original author, Xiao Ding. However, Xiao Ding had also created some works related to "Coiling Dragon", such as "Coiling Dragon: Nine Nether Dragon Ring" and "Coiling Dragon: Fire Cloud Cave". These works were also based on the story background and plot of "Coiling Dragon".
Doujinshi referred to the re-creation or adaptation of an existing literary work. The storyline and characters created were different from the original, but the basic plot and theme still originated from the original. Doujinshi was usually not authorized by the original author and could be sued by the original author in some cases. Although the creative inspiration of people of the same culture comes from the original work, the creative process usually involves a lot of modifications, rewrites, and creative ideas, sometimes even completely exceeding the scope of the original work. Therefore, co-writing is often seen as an unauthorized act of copyright that may cause unnecessary damage to the copyright of the original work.
