    I notice the popularity of the novel "The Dark King" had been declining to the point in which I no longer see any thread related on novel updates. I mean its quite the novel, so I had been wondering lately what's going on?

    Translator went to QI, but some time later QI did something shady (against him). It pissed off the translator, so he dropped it. Now Dark king has no translator and nobody will pick up since it is on QI now. Plus, QI doesn't seem to be in a rush to fill the translator position.

    Basically dropped.

    If a novel is not translated, how can it grow in popularity?
    It's always the first thing checked

    Same can be said to finished novels, really.

    I hold quite the disdain in regard to Qidian as well btw. In their eyes, profit is everything. They uprooted the peaceful novel translating community led by WuxiaWorld. Now they imprint into the minds of translators the importance of profitability. Overall leading to the division of the novel translating industry into two groups. One whom translate because of love for the novel while the other for the profit that it could bring. Qidian serve as the reminder of our inner greed, a reminder of reality; for although money isn't able to purchase everything but without money you aren't able to purchase anything.

    So THATS why, one of my favorites, disnt say anything cause of reasons but was super curious. Thanks for asking, sad thing too, Qidian had everything to be a titan, and while it still will be, it could have gone way more smoothly, just a bit a good will and there, they already had the moral highground since they originally posted the novels, couldve just worked out a good deal for everybody... Im still going to keep reading on Qidian but it's more impersonal now, They provide a service, I provide my viewership, whilst in other cases I care about the platform, like ww, volare,gravity, all solo translators with their own websites, etc.

    Qidian fucked up once again, translator got enough of their shit and he quit translating the novel.

    Isn't The Dark King is going to QI for free in the first place?
    https://wuxianation.com/announcement/regarding-tdk-idwwns.html

    QI had no need to buy the chapters at all, but they still chose to do so.
    Rather than that, don't you think the editor is the one being the bastard here for selling chapters which he has no rights to?
    I don't understand why MadSnail is blaming QI for backstabbing him and buying his chapters when he's providing it for free and isn't profiting out of it in the first place.
    It seems more like he's angry because his editor backstabbed him

    he was backstabbed by the editor and qi has a part as well . He was going to give to QI the chapters for FREE however they bought them underhanded from his editor that has no fking right to do so .
    QI basically didn't give a shit about him or his opinion and they didn't believe crap when he said that he would be giving the chapters for free so they bought em underhanded .

    pretty much how I see it
