1. We Do Not Host or Link to Pirated Content
OriginRealm does not host, scrape, or link to unlicensed or pirated chapters. We operate as an informational catalog and release tracker (similar to Goodreads or AniList) alongside a self-publishing platform for original authors. Our platform is sustained through non-intrusive advertisements and optional features, never by distributing unlicensed intellectual property.
2. Dedicated Publisher & Rights-Holder Credit
Every series catalog page includes an explicit Publisher / Rights-holder field that transparently credits the original publication house, studio, or corporate copyright holder (e.g. Kakao, Shueisha, Kadokawa, Naver, Yen Press, Webnovel).
OriginRealm makes no claim of ownership over any tracked series, trademarks, or character designs. Factual metadata (such as titles, author names, release years, and total chapter counts) is referenced strictly for cataloging, personal library tracking, and discovery.
3. Informational Attribution Only (No Outbound Reading Links)
OriginRealm does not provide outbound links to third-party chapter reading websites or scraper sites. We solely display the official names of known original publishers, platforms, and studios (e.g. KakaoPage, Naver Webtoon, Shueisha, Kadokawa, Zongheng) so readers understand the genuine origin and official rights-holders behind each work.
4. Creator Platform: 100% Ownership & Direct Support
Through the OriginRealm Creator Studio, authors and comic artists can self-publish original chapters directly to readers:
- You retain 100% ownership: Creators retain 100% ownership of their work. OriginRealm does not claim ownership of creator-published content. You keep full copyright over your stories, characters, and manuscripts.
- Non-exclusive publishing: You remain completely free to cross-publish to Royal Road, Scribble Hub, Webtoon Canvas, Tapas, or your own Patreon.
- 0% commission on reader support: Link your Patreon, Ko-fi, PayPal, or other support pages directly to your profile or series. Readers support you through your chosen platform, and OriginRealm does not take a commission from those external payments.
- Mandatory rights warranty: By uploading, creators confirm they own or control the rights to their work and agree not to upload third-party copyrighted material.
5. Takedown & DMCA Safe Harbor Process
If you are a copyright owner or authorized agent and believe content on OriginRealm infringes your rights, we provide immediate self-service and formal notice pathways (17 U.S.C. § 512):
Direct inquiries may also be directed to our designated compliance contact at [email protected]. All legitimate notices with proof of ownership are acted upon promptly.
