    Death Scripture (formerly known as Death Sutra) is my favorite Chinese novel. I have read it upto the 600s chapters and then stopped to let the chapters pile up. When I checked again, the chapters have stopped at 971 even though this CN has 1100+ chapters.
    What happened???

    If you are talking about Emperor’s Domination then for one it has 4100 chaps.
    Secondly around chap 1700 the MC experienced his 9th death and received the 3 bestowal from 3,6,9, and 18 deaths. The 18th death makes one reach high heavens which would’ve been to much bs to pull so the author stopped using it after the 9th death. Maybe he died a 10 th

    I'm talking about an entirely different novel. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/death-sutra/
    It is, in my opinion, the best CN I have ever read.

    Are you serious!! Is there a post or something where it says the novel is dropped?
    Why would they drop it when it was almost 80% translated?

    well, its webnovel we are talking about they don't ever announce that they have dropped a novel. They do that to any novel if that novel is not generating enough money for them even if it is 80% translated

    This is infuriating. It is my favorite CN, better than even I shall Seal the Heavens, my second-favorite CN.
    I was thinking about starting a novel and hosting it on webnovel as it has a much bigger reader base. Any thoughts on that?

    you should create a new thread for that as you'll get better advice there but I have seen webnovel's contract which is floating on Reddit and its very unfavorable for authors but if you just want reader you can try sribblehub.

    Anyways create a new thread cause few NUF members are authors on webnovel platform and they will be able to guide you better

    Just wondering, has there ever a case where Webnovel takes down a novel translated after they dropped the said novel?
    You know, knowing Qi, it isn't impossible they'd being petty and do it for the novels they had abandoned beforehands.
