    One of the few novels which I have enjoyed that has survived for the last 2 years. So very sad

    Is it a full paywall (can’t read those chapters for eternity without paying) or is it an advancing paywall where people who pay get extra chapters but free readers can still live?

    Oh that's interesting. Even Creative Novels is putting up pay-walls now.
    Though... aren't they still going to be releasing chapters normally? It looks like the pay-wall is just for advanced chapters.

    Nah it's for advance chapters, more like Patreon than completely being unable to continue reading if you don't pay.

    Latter, I think. Built-in Patreon, basically, like WuxiaWorld's.

    They are still keeping the pace and only pay walling advance chapters which is the same as what wuxiaworld is doing... So what's the fuss about...

    Its not paywalled. You just cant read advance chapters. Nothing wrong with that.

    Tbf, “full” paywalls are very very rare in the overall sceme of websites.

    Dude, don't suddenly putting out false alarm without checking 1st. That's Advanced chapters, not regular chapters.
    There are many translation sites that have gone on this route, like Light Novel Translations, WW, etc...

    As long as its still the same releases, i'm fine with it. Its just blocking the advance chapters. But i'm sure as pissed if some bastards gonna spoil the chapter just because he casually read ahead of us.
