I don't know if you've read the message that I wrote on my message board. So... I'll post it here. Also to make it permanent, because I'll surely post a lot on my message board and it'll ended up getting buried. But here... you can easily find it.
So... here you go

If it weren't for writing... I wouldn't be here. Writing healed my depression.
I almost killed myself back in 2017... but I manage to stop myself from doing so and turn to writing. Most of the story I wrote is a resemblance of what I've gone through in real life.
Like in that book... it represented my fear, the fear that I felt when I'm being forced to do something that isn't my passion, and to leave something I love. Surely, the person who copied my story and translated it into another language, wouldn't understand the meaning. But I do... because I wrote it. That's why I have a strong connection to it.
This is the second time that something like this happened to me. It hurts so bad.

The book is published EXACTLY today. No chat for permission, nothing at all.
Like yes, I get it. Fanfic are an already existing character. But how many of you read fanfic of a character you don't know? You know Killua is from Hunter X Hunter. You know Sasuke, Naruto is from Naruto. You know it, don't you?
But how many people know the fanfic is written by who if it's in a different language and without mentioning the real writer? Nobody.
Please stop copying/translating my stories because you don't know their background or why I wrote them. Every single story of mine represent something. Something that I went through in real life! You don't know what I feel... so don't steal my story because you're missing something from it. The emotions.
I'm not BTS famous that people knows the plagiarized songs are made by them. I'm just a minor writer. I wouldn't find out if it weren't for someone asking for who the real author was.

If I hadn't try to translate this comment. I wouldn't have find out. You're stealing under my nose and that's even worse. Also... even worse is that this person is my follower. Yes! A follower. Very painful if you ask how I feel.
I'm nearing my last straw. I don't wanna quit my life in Wattpad... so please don't push my button. If you respect/love me as your author... please stop doing something like this to me. I'm all about supporting new writers, but not plagiarism.

Like this book for example. Do you see the difference aside from the color? Here... let me tell you, the book cover on the left have the word "Terkutuk" written on it, which is "Fallen" in Indonesia language.
Same cover... same title, same author's name written on it. That's how you translate a book. Even so, you still need permission if you want to translate it. But that person do neither of that... they even use a whole different cover.
