I rather this not be a thread, so it'll just be a blog post for now.
So, I joined this community a little more than a year ago. It was fun, especially for a person with no life whatsoever. Reading new concepts, getting attached to characters, meeting and talking to some incredible people (I got connections ), ect. etc. Every now and then there was pain at how sucky a novel became (TDG was god-awful). I generally don't like change...but we're facing a pretty big one right now.
Well, most of you are aware of the shitshow going on so I won't go into too much detail about that but...
1. I would like to request people to not make death threats towards either parties, especially not to the translators/editors who work for them.
2. I want people to realize just...powerless NU is right now. Everyone seems to think "Ay, if they put up paywalls, NU will block them." Well, we probably will, if we follow protocol, but...QI does not need NU. Their app can send you notifications of their releases, other trackers like NU can easily lead you to them. Don't think NU will be able to cut Qidian off. Qidian is part of a super big company. They have, compared to us, unlimited resources.
3. Odds of WW's victory are...let's say low. So prepare now to lose out on novels from WW. It might make it easier when it really happens. In fact, prepare to lose out on more than just WW novels. How many people do you think will willingly sign that BS contract? (Prepare doesn't mean don't get mad)
4. Qidian novels aren't what make up the community. This community will not fall just cause a couple of the most popular novels disappear. So do stop thinking it's the end of the world. Other publishers may not be as large as Qidian, but there should still be plenty of good novels to read...it pains me that I won't be able to finish some of the stories I've read for over a year now but...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what'cha gonna do?
5. Btw, my earlier comments weren't to deter you or tell you to stop doing what you're doing now(except the death threats, that ain't cool). Let's show people that they shouldn't piss off a group of people with no lives whatsoever.
P.S. To all the translators who are being forced to drop their novel (or will be in the future), thank you for your service. My life is a whole heck of a lot more fun because of this community that you guys help build than it was before.
