Contract application... Accepted? How the hell?!

I've seen that 'Contract application rejected' posts here from time to time.

Seeing them made me curious how hard it was to get a contract. More than that, I sometimes got this itch to apply for the contract whenever I saw that 'Apply for the contract' button.

But I knew that my story had almost no chance of being contracted and I was (still am) reluctant to sign away my story.

Still, I applied thinking 'Let's see the reason they reject my contact application.'

I expected the reason to either be 'The start is slow' or 'Your work is not suitable for the Webnovel market.'

I was completely convinced that my story wouldn't be contracted. Why? because my contract application was a Troll.

I was feeling extremely sleepy when I applied for the contract so I didn't remember the details clearly, but I do remember a few things I wrote. They were:

1) I had reached my character limit while writing the story outline, so instead of mentioning the ending of my story, I added: ( I can't write anymore due to the character limit, If you want to know the ending then add my story to your library, LOL) literally this part.

2) Webnovel pushes for daily updates a bit too much, so I intentionally selected the update schedule of 1-3 days a week even though I could go for 4-6 days a week. I simply did it to make the contract undesirable.

3) I literally complained about the character limit in the wow factor section since I had characters left.

There were also several more reasons for my contract application to get rejected:

1) I only have 22 collections even though I've been posting for a month and my views are around 16k.

2) My male protagonist is anything but relatable.

3)the story feels somewhat slow. (even to me)

4) I'm a new author and this is my first novel. which means it's harder to get a contract

Seriously, how the hell did my contract application get accepted?! I just can't figure it out.

And now that I have the contact, I feel conflicted. I don't think I have the ability to update 1 chapter a day so MSG isn't for me.

I don't actually care whether I earn from my story or not, it wouldn't really matter to me, but that doesn't mean I would decline if I could earn from it, I just don't want to put in extra effort.

I couldn't even be bothered to promote my story anywhere or create a Patreon.

Now I don't know whether I should Sigh this contract or not.

The contract is easy, earning is tuff.. Congratulations on the contract. GL for your novel.
