Question Any News on Dungeon Defense?

It's been a whole year and a half since I caught up to it. There is no new update. Any idea when next volume will be released? Or any news regarding the novel in general?

 

Waiting

 

In Hiatus hell now along with most of the authors from royal road.

 

Dungeon defense not a RR novel tho

 

according to shalvation two weeks ago, no news yet. but they arent dead so jst keep waiting i guess

 

The whole plagarism thing didn't help

 

Meh, that's just some random guy from internet trying to blow things up. According to translator that thing didn't affect publisher and author at all. Probably just author on creative stump because the story is way different from the webnovel now it's basically a new story.

 

Just waiting for the Author

 

you don't say

 

Either he really is a copy-cat and is hiding for things to calm down, or a writer-block.

Pretty sure the tler said that he was sure that they are waiting for the storm to calm down.

 

I do say

 

Thick as a rock

 

As powerful as a rocket

 

you write/type 'em actually

 

Daft

 

UPDATE ABOUT DUNGEON DEFENSE
(Since it seems there are still a lot of you who are STILL asking this.)
I haven’t dropped the series, there are still no new updates, the author is still alive, people really need to read the TL notes near the end of volumes if they’re curious about a series, and people should really trust me to post an update as soon as any news comes out. I’ve been checking the NovelEngine site almost every other day for the past 2-3 years now(not just for DD) and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. If something happens, you guys will know.

Some people have been mentioning the ‘plagiarism’ incident, which revolves around some people accusing the author of plagiarism, and that being the reason why the series has been axed, but there has been no news whatsoever about the series being axed. I’m not sure if I’ve given my opinion on the matter here, but that incident is just a bunch of Korean people being trigger happy and wanting to criticize anyone for anything. I’ve read through a number of articles and so-called ‘examples of plagiarism’, but the examples given are so vague and barebone that it’s like saying if your story resembles another story even remotely, then it’s plagiarism. For example, a certain series ended a scene with two people having a brief conversation as whatever they’re doing came to an end and the WN of DD does a scene somewhat the same but with completely different dialogue and atmosphere.

These are the sort of scenes that are being compared and accused as plagiarism. In this day and age where it’s almost impossible to write anything without being ‘similar to something else’, I don’t know how people could expect authors to be 100% original. There are so many light novels, web novels, manga, and anime series out there that you could end up unintentionally copying the obscurest of series. How things are incorporated into a story should be more important than “Hey, this part is sort of similar to a scene in another series, the author must have plagiarised it!”. Nevertheless, thanks to the Korean mentality, I don’t doubt that the next volume was delayed because of this supposed ‘controversy’. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re simply waiting for things to calm down.

In any case, I’ll stop ranting here. Like I would always say, if the new volume of Dungeon Defense comes out, then I’ll drop everything I’m doing and rush to translate that, so don’t worry. I’ll see you guys in the next update after the result of the poll and to tell you guys about my decision on what I intend to do.
