    So Qidian added Swallowed Star but they are 6 chapters behind... lol

    In all seriousness, does this mean that Translation Nations is working for Qidian now? (the translator/editor credits on QI list TN)

    I almost clicked on it thinking it was a new chapter. What chapter is it, with Translation Nations' chapter numbering? Are all chapters going to be released on qidian from now on, in which case it's just another novel I'm dropping, or will it still be hosted on Translation Nations?

    some of the novels translated on QI still get posted on the original websites, its just NU that posts the QI ones, simillar to how alyschu post for wuxiaworld buther names comes in the NU list.

    Sad as their practices might be, true readers would want to support the authors whom I would like to believe get paid from English revenue too

    Qidian owns all novels, just as how China owns all of South China Sea...

    Ther's already one. Not sure if it's QIs fake site though or if it's actually a legit pirate site.

    Edit: Lol "legit pirate site"

    Only reason I hate QI is the way they talked and what they said about WW....

    That's why I'm boycotting it and still visiting the original sites where the novels are being posted.

    Annoying as this may be, but the truth of world is there is no "true" feeling left in this world ... No true readers as long as they can read to their heart's fill. As for supporting authors, those who support them will continue to support, those who didn't won't bother doing it now either ..

    Eh, which one?

    Don't think so....
    They would be paid if their contract has it written... But from what Qidian seems to me... They would put a lot of clauses .....
    So they can do whatever they want....
    Wait a minute.... Translation can be considered a derivative work.... So they (author) would get a part (very small)
