    Dropped by Webnovel.
    Hopefully someone else will pick it up.
    One of the best novel out there.

    Same for Transcendent Dawn

    Just another example of why QI/webnovel is horse shit. Imagine having paid to read each chapter of their novels then they up and drop it before completion. Can't believe people cape for that BS....

    QI really can't survive without pissing its readers off, can it? I remember them doing this crap with Cthulu Gonfanlon. It took over a year for it to start back up.

    Apparantly its often profits but they just love picking up good novels to drop them few hundred chapters later.

    Is the raw still ongoing? I saw (dropped) on novelupdates, but I'm not sure if it's the translation or the novel itself that's been dropped.

    That's a shame. Is there no chance for the author to continue the novel somewhere else? I don't really get the situation with the Chinese internet.

    Webnovel drops the novel if it isn't earning them profits just like hundreds of novels out there

    Is there no other way for it to continue? Last update was 4 months ago, I think. I really want to see this novel through even if it means buying the raw chapters...

    Locked. Necro.
    Since webnovel has the license to translate, the odds of anyone else picking this up and translating it are nil. They themselves have no interest in anything that doesn't produce money so probably not
