    Oh shit... I forgot how common it was for ragequitters to drop their shit in town before deleting their characters... you just single handedly made me miss my gaming years before soulbound equipment....

    Haha saw some spectacular "I hate everybody" moments back in the day. One girl I played with for 5 years suddenly quit on the spot because she wanted an item off another guild member and they wouldn't give it. On the plus side she gave me most of her stuff.

    For those who are wondering if they could track unlisted chapter, you could create a manual reading list. It's a great way to keep track of old novel which is not available on translator site anymore or paywalled novel.

    Anyway, a moderator already explain about NU policies in this thread. We don't
    List paywalled chapters. It seems to be ignored by OP tho (which is strange considering this threads purpose.)

    Feel it was more for shit stirring rather then actual information. Much akin to the "wtf is up with WN" threads that pop up every other day not long ago.

    KnackHD seem to have a knack for not reading the important details, ignoring it and only focusing on anything that supports his agenda of "NU bad".

    Baka-Tsuki was already a thing back in 2008 IIRC, so that's not necessarily a wrong statement.

    Either you keep it, or delete it. But NU doesn't follow either. Because a book is locked behind the paywall, chapter update won't show up.
    Yet, again a book has been dropped for ages still eating dust in the database.

    I wonder, how many good proper books has been fully completed and got their fully update list in NU. (definitely not expecting much, after all in my pov proper goods would be worse in some one else's pov)

    NU is a directory of freely available Asian Novels that were translated to English. It keeps all novels that follow those criteria.

    As simple as that.

    Yeah.
    It's just a FYI for random people who read this thread and wonder if it's possible to track licensed/paywalled stuff. Even if OP ended up not needing it, maybe it could help 1-2 lost user.

    We could have it as an option that's off by default at least, for people like this.

    When you see an unwanted file in your computer, do you feel like deleting it or keeping it like a malware. Somehow I feel like, may be its just a borrowed file server

    NU wants to link to all asian novels that have (or had) free chapters available at the English Language. None of those links are unwanted.

    The links are kept as is for archiving purposes, but are hidden as Dead Links. (If you see a novel with Dead Links that aren't Hidden, report it and mods will hide the links)
