Hello! It seems that MabiNovel is still 'bugged' or 'glitched'.
(Yes, some people still use and create MabiNovels. It's not completely dead.)
When I am done making a MabiNovel, I try to publish it, enter it's title, and click 'Enter Title and Submit'
However, nothing happens afterwards. It doesn't get published, no matter how many times I try.
I don't know why it could be doing this, I follow the rules on how to create MabiNovels and it doesn't exactly tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
It's been broken like this at LEAST since Nao merge.
I've heard stories of people not being able to save a draft of their stories too (although I seem to be able to just fine).
Thank you for reading!

It seems like this has been an issue since at least March.
I think you misspelt "since release." Unfortunately, I don't think anyone at Nexon is familiar enough with its intricacies to find the issue, since it's a unique problem with an odd behaviour.
I don't think they want to commit any resources to fix it in general.
And it should be misspelled btw.
Has it really been like this since the feature was introduced? In the past (probably years by now) I was able to publish books without the issues that have been mentioned across related threads. Agreed on the latter part, though, considering a user said the best (apparently?) customer support could give them was this response.
The "t" vs. "ed" thing might depend on where they're from.
True
I wonder if the issue has something to do with using the characters/backgrounds/music from newer generations. I still see new novels popping up on the bulletin board but they all use stuff from old generations. My novel is using Llywelyn and an Avalon background from G21. Has anyone been able to publish or has seen a novel published using content from G21 - G23?
Also tried adding a background and music to the first scene, and removed brackets [] and stars * used in the novel but it didn't help. I guess those characters are bugged. I might try using some of the backgrounds next from that gen, or a solo Lly for another test. Kinda unfortunate you can only publish once a week, though. Anyone have tests novels to share for more data?
I'm starting to think that all the newer characters may be bugged too.. or anything new for that matter.. I've tried to publish another one but at this point, it seems NONE of my novels I make want to be published anymore.. Literally unusable for me unless it somehow accepts it in the future.. and it makes me angrier knowing Nexon will most likely not fix the danged issue.
EDIT: Make that two novels I tried to make but was only.. something blocked by the stupid game. Entered the title and lo and behold, NOTHING HAPPENED.
I even tried to use only old assets!
Then I gave up and made a MabiNovel complaining about not being able to publish any and go figure, that one publishes JUST FINE!
I want to punch a wall.
As for the backgrounds from the Divine Knight collection books, I can confirm that all of them are bugged except Avalon Berg Mesa and Avalon Sanctum. The following scenes had to be removed from my test novel until it would be allowed to publish: Avalon Gate, Avalon Gate (Why does this appear twice?), Outskirts of Avalon, Avalon Knights' Epitaph, Avalon Yggdrasil, Avalon Abandoned Camp, Avalon City Ruins, and Avalon Forgotten Shore. Here is a link to the original form of the test novel for reference: https://streamable.com/48aim
I feel your pain. I hope that identifying the items that have issues will expedite the process and encourage Nexon to respond but I know that could take years. May I ask what old assets you were using? I'd like to try them out myself to see if I run into the same issue as well. I'll be testing the music from the G19-G21 collection books next time.
I also was going to publish a series of mabinovels (have the whole series typed up in a text doc) but I started running into publishing issues on that one too. Granted, it's more complicated than the one I mentioned above. The system is definitely whack. There's no reason it shouldn't at least give us an error message as to what's wrong.
I assume they changed some of the text? But I could be wrong. I ran into this issue once before and changed the text and it finally published eventually. Now I'm making a sequel and it's not publishing no matter what I try to do.
There's still a problem with submitting, and I bet many people enjoy MabiNovels, so please try to fix the thing.
P. S. In case someone would like to read my old published novels, I have a couple of copies (Nao), so feel free to ask, but be warned that I'm rather picky about who I give stuff to 0v0
I tried changing up everything and I cannot find the reason to why it won't let me publish it
Yup, usually i do, it's easier to spot errors if i read my novels
but it's odd because i previewed novels before and they submit fine
