    So jjwxc just announced that their international site will be online soon.
    I guess you know what will happen.

    What should we do? Should we mass convert all novels that are soon to be DMCA-ed into PDF or EPUB? Do you think we can save those Holy Scripture before it's too late?

    One could only hope they would've learnt from the Qidian debacle...

    *puts as much stock in their learning from mistakes as arrogant young masters do from theirs* :blobpopcorn_two:

    They do, but you can only apply for it if you are in China at the moment.

    If you do live in China, you can apply on the dashboard of your reader account.

    There a Chinese company?

    Isn’t china going throught a huge crack down on the entertainment industry right now?

    This is probably going to impact more then just jjwxc novels. Since chinese company's are starting to really notice the overseas market and capitalize on it now.

    We’ll probably get more banned/censored novels as well like RI and that other transmigration one.

    jjwcx is the biggest josei/bl webnovel host in China. A lot of translated bl/josei here is from that website.

    Just recently jj announce jj international, in which ppl can have a contract with them and translate their novel.
    The payment for the translations are crumbs.
    They accept edited MTL, too, which will be compared to pure MTL, of it's too similar it will be refused.
    Also, each novel can have many translation, like mangadex. All translation are the rights of jj.

    And, you need to be CN/HK/ TW citizen to have a contract with jj.

    So, there's a massive password lock, moving, removing and dropping right now from fans translators. They do not want their translation to be stolen, uploaded to jj, and they get DCMA'ed for their own translation.

    I think that's about it. cmiiw.
