    ehh in the mobile site I straight up have all the updated chapters blurred with a pop up saying I need to use an account to read them. So it affect you.

    We don't link to paywalls, so anything locked behind one will be removed from Novel Updates. Everything else (meaning any ongoing novels) should experience no change on our side. The free rotationals will probably be listed, too. The biggest use of NU with regards to WuxiaWorld should be the tracking of ongoing novel releases as opposed to completed novels, anyway, so... That said, it's still a bit early to be 100% sure how we'll be handling things. I don't want to sound too definite.

    You need to register, but not pay. So it affects people, yes, but not a huge amount.

    Something often used against bad bots that drain server usage. I am just suprised they can use it. Given the amount of trafric, it should cost a pretty penny.

    Maybe but is quite arbitrary to bash up only phone users with this when you clearly can do the same with the desktop page. Through this is more of a rant given that they always annoy phone users in some sites degrading the user experience and spam you to use their app. I'm sure WW will do it when they have their own app stable and running. They already make the difference forcing you to register now

    Huh. Maybe they’re doing it now since they’re expecting more profit once they change how they do ads?
    True they made a difference forcing you to register, but I don’t think they’ll force you to use their app. WW doesn’t seem like that kind of site. Plus they’re trying to make ads better on mobile, which wouldn’t make sense if they forced you to use an app.

    Honestly, no clue. For what it’s worth, I’ve gotten hit by the damn thing sometimes also. It’s third party and has been there for a year or two, seems to hit certain VPNs (which I have to use since I’m in China) and group IPs or something like that, but I’m not sure. Were you at a Starbucks or something, perhaps? Or using a VPN?

    Maybe because you're a fossil:blob_grin:
    Jokes aside, maybe this can be a temporary ban done by the automatic security due to it thinking that you're a bot:hmm:
