I have heard a lot about Cloud Novel but here is an underlying truth. The CEO went out of their way to hack a game creators account and this game they have been working on for 3 years, and steal it basically. The CEO hacked the creators account, changed their username, and even edited their wording to frame thd creator for bad things. The CEO is obsessed with Elon Musk and called his autistic child retarded which is a nono since I am also autistic. I have been wanting to expose this ever since I learned about this and I am speaking up about it now. There have been several cases of the CEO and staff hacking and atealing users games and creations! DO NOT USE CLOUD NOVEL!! PROTECT YOUR CONTENT!
Well well well, where do I start? The doxxing, the stealing, and the falsified banning. Sonya is quote unquote "not in any realtionship with elon" and two seconds later shes calling his son the R slur. Absolutely pathetic for a CEO, Sonya needs to grow up. I personally have been banned from cloudnovel myself for making a callout post for everything she did, and blocked me from both Twitter accs. DO NOT USE CLOUDNOVEL NOR SUPPORT SONYA.
So basically I tried to log into Cloudnovel one day and it said my account was banned. I did nothing wrong, I just played the visual novels and left kind words to the creators. Do NOT recommend unless you want to be bombarded with spam in your email and being banned for literally no reason.
I used this website several years ago as a pre-teen to try and make my own visual novels. I forgot about the website, but never thought to unsubscribe from the website's mailing list. As of today, 4/27/23, the creator of this website appears to be experiencing a psychotic break. She has sent several bizarre, unprofessional emails via the mailing list in the past few days, some of which contain vulgar language (including ableist slurs) and pornographic content from the CloudNovel Discord. On her public Twitter, she is talking about Silicon Valley and Coronavirus-related conspiracy theories. It appears that similar to when I used it, a significant portion of the userbase is made up of children, which makes this shift in content even more disturbing. I cannot comment on the technical issues with the website and other problems involving the developer's conduct on the Discord server itself, as I am not a part of the server nor have I used the website in a long time. However, I would not suggest that anyone (especially minors) use this service until the developer gets the help she needs.
i would just like to start off by saying this has to be one of the WORST websites ever developed. the format is janky, it's extremely outdated, and the cherry on top is the unstable creator. y'all thought yandereDev was bad, wait until you hear about sonya; cloudnovel's creator. i haven't used this site in over a year due to my visual novel being suddenly stolen with no followup, but ive been getting extremely absurd emails ranging from sonya literally sending pictures of children's personal information through the newsletter or laughable emails claiming that some users of her website are elon musk or steve jobs' wife. I've been in the cloudnovel discord server as well, and she will randomly decide to start beef w/ people. i'm honestly done with this whole situation, and if you have no idea what she's done or why i'm saying all of this about her... let me just tell you, the rabbit hole goes down far. the amount of things she's said to people and how she romanticizes her schizophrenia and her nonadherence to taking medication is genuinely shocking to me. i dont understand how someone like this is freely able to browse the internet and nonetheless monitor a website made strictly for children and young adults. if you really want to make your own otome/dressup game, please use ANY other website possible just don't use this one. i don't want any more people to get hurt by using this website and having their visual novels purposefully stolen and their account deleted for no apparent reason. im posting this review after i saw the developers twitter and how DISGUSTING it is to see a woman do and say such terrible things when none of it is true. please watch yourself and stay safe out there for anyone reading this.
