    I also need to quote this since you said "Don't get me wrong, you're not "wrong" for trying to milk out our money and wanting us to get WW VIP"
    And in case you don't know, subscription to become VIP is how people read ahead, and how they are making money off of those novels in WW for people that want to read ahead. Since Fudge already turned it off so............:blobneutral:

    if we are talking about dick moves aren't we all being a little dick by being upset about this, first of all how much does it take to translate a novel heck I can speak 4 languages but I don't even have the patience to translate one chapter nor the energy to do so, so I'm happy there are people releasing it for free. Is making an account that hard or is waiting for some time that hard I ain't paying and i got all the time in the world anyway after all there so many things do outside of reading. it wouldn't make a huge difference in my life anyway if I read it now or later after all reading novels is for entertainment. lol again I respect your opinions this is just mine so you could just ignore it, I'm not defending anyone I could care less if it's wuxia or webnovel if they do a freakin price hike or whatever I just won't read it.

    You ever going to edit this post now that it's been shown you were deep throating your foot? Bad enough you kneejerk reaction attacked someone's reputation, but at least have the courtesy to redact it when they've been proven to have done nothing wrong o.o

    No drama here, OP is an idiot.

    The novel isn't complete yet, the author delayed the chapters A LOT of times. The epilogue 2 last week alone delayed more than three times iirc, it was supposed to be released on friday based on first delay announcement, and then delayed to saturday, then sunday, until finally the chapter released on monday. So it will probably take another few days for the next chapter to come out.

    Honestly still a little drama since they aren't editing the original post. Every extra like on that thing is a spread of misinformation that attacks a translators reputation. Kinda f'ed up.

    WW is a company and has always been its own thing separate from other companies and their BS.

    grow the hell up and stop acting so entitled.

    WW never licensed Novel's Extra. It's translated by fans just like their other Korean novels.
    The authors don't receive anything, it's the translators who are being paid for their service.
    I think it's fine for WW to do whatever with Novel's Extra since they're not bound by a contract.

    They're not bound by contract but logically the author could still hold ww or the translator legally accountable since that is his/her IP and WW and the translator is a 3rd party with no written permission by author to use his works for monetary value.

    Regardless, if the translator is guilty of exploiting other people's work for money then even if the translator cant be held accountable(if you're not from china, it will be hard for any lawsuits to reach you if you don't plan to visit china in your lifetime) it is still a dick move/ morally illegal move.

    As they say, karma's a bitch. I'd rather live my life not having to make excuses about karma because i did something wrong or i'd be spending my life blaming karma for weird coincidences.

    P.S. i have this belief in me or a baseline for how i live life to not get into trouble, i can do whatever i want so long as i don't directly hurt others(knowingly, i cant do about hurting other unknowingly or indirectly because i cant stop my life for them - like if a girl likes me, i cant not like others because she will get hurt) and in terms of this, i can do whatever i want with other people's IP so long as i don't involve money with it(earn money with it) especially if it gains alot of attention.

    You are right. WW could legally be held accountable since they are translating the novel without permission.
    But, they have been negotiating with the Korean publishers for licensing rights.
    I don't know what happened since as they unpaused all Korean novels, but it's not impossible for them to get permission to publish.

    For me, fan translations exist for the fans. It's your choice to support the platform or not.
    Compared to groups who split chapters and hold them hostage through patreon, I don't think WW is a big offender.
