Time.

Here is Google translation

 

Can some TL-sama give us a non MTL TL and help us out with what it means?

 

well, anything could happen in qidian

 

So, the site is going down for 7 days and some novels must be removed?
Maybe you can read them on another website?

 

All the genres that are deemed controversial are suspended from publishing new chapters or books for 7 days. The original source has been completely cut off. You can't read any where.

 

Probably would be more helpful with a list of novels removed after it's done

 

So what are the genres then?

 

The article mentioned that All the books that are listed under morden fiction are affected, there are some other genres as well. They are not targeting some books, they were censorship the entire genre...

 

China is a getting closer to be a complete authoritarian (or totalitarian?) shithole. Censorship? hah. that's childs play. Chinese authors may get banned from society because of that absurd chinese social credit system.

So China is killing their own novel base by themselves

 

its just a 7 day ban though its not indefinite.

 

The article mentioned morden fiction and N-dimensions (I don't know what this is)

 

Lol

Rise of the underground sites~

 

I guess they give qidian 7 days to comply with new policy. After 7 days many books might be deleted from the site. Of course, I maybe the one who is being paranoid here. Lol

 

Bummer

 

funny that noone is aware americans have an even worse social system in place.

perfect twats

 

Article plz

 

You need to get out more.. The only thing getting censorship in America is Christians and good morals. Additional two sentences here edit. America is better than china period.
