    Just passing by to tell you guys who didn't read the news yet. Personally, I have no problems with it. CK and the others had all the reasons to do so. I will continue reading the novels, the reason being I like the novels and CK's work, the rest doesn't matter for me. Translator support > hate for QI in my book. And I hope you guys don't start a hate raid against CK and the others. That's it.

    CK has completely valid reasons for moving over. I recommend everyone read their goodbye statements on wuxiaworld.

    The only reason this makes me anxious is because Qidian might just paywall everything without listening to the community. Otherwise I'm completely fine with it.

    Yeah cause otherwise we might see everyone posted multiple times, and at least you could kill misinformation from the get go
    Read the cknation spoiler, apparently they have no plans for a paywall this "year"

    What will they do in regards to Patreon? Wouldn't they get paid double if they maintain it?

    I think this was solved with Qidian. But only the translators know for sure. I guess at some point they will explain things more thoroughly.

    Before anyone panics, the TL are getting paid handsomely according to their statements, so no QI force. They literally bought them with some good candy.
    Cktalon mentioned something about no paywall at least for this year end,so no need to worry. Ads, and VIP accounts without ads is a good idea. Patreon is even better.
    Good night.

    Some of these novels, like AGM usually get 2 chapters a day. Does Qidian go along with that? Or is it always at most one chapter a day?

    Although I respect their decision because they need to survive economically, it doesnt mean I like it. They saw how qidian is but still go, calling them traitors is going too far but I would call them people who do anything to survive even if it takes going to a bad and greedy company

    This was bound to happen. After all readers can't even if you start throwing trash bins in front QI's door. Besides TLs of these books going to QI, doesn't mean they won't translate, and there would be no point of hating the TLs either, behind them is the BIG boss QI.

    So readers should just behave like bystanders...........

    If that happens, then it'd be starting point of the ending for QI. Most of the TLs in QI won't want that to happen, after all QI isn't the main Qidian where authors would update that. And QI can't just do all the translation for free, they would need supports from readers (unless they are planning to spend from their pocket, which would being having too less profit), so making paywall would be like digging their own grave.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they won't paywall it "next year"

    Yeah I know you have to look at what hasn't been said when dealing with lawyer speak or corporations.
