    I noticed that the releases from Baka-Tsuki aren't updated anymore, for example:

    /toaru-majutsu-no-index-new-testament/
    no updates at all for last volume (18)

    /my-vampire-older-sister-and-zombie-little-sister/
    last update is chapter 3, but the volume is completed (10 chapters)

    /kyoukai-senjou-no-horizon/
    last update is chapter 29 of volume 5B, but the last released is chapter 38

    Those are some examples, but there are others novels from Baka-Tsuki that are affected.

    I really hope it can be fixed. Thanks.

    from my understanding, baka-tsuki doesn't have RSS, so the release cannot be auto-fetched and added.
    all BT release so far was added manually, either by mods, or by user submission.
    unfortunately, if there are no one to submit manually, then you won't see BT's releases here.

    however, for the series you listed, i will try to see it added. can't make promise for the others though.

    That would defeat the pourpose of using novelupdate as a one point only place to check for new releases...

    Some affected titles from my reading list (at the time of checking it):

    - Ghost Hunt
    - Mitou Shoukan://Blood-Sign
    - Toaru Majutsu no Index - Virtual On

    I will continue checking later. I noticed the updates on the previous titles ; thanks.

    Btw, since Baka-Tsuki has a discord channel, I'd suggest to grab releases from there instead of RSS; I don't know how hard that could be, but I guess it's an idea.

    Done, nothing else from Baka-Tsuki that's on my list remains; everithing is up to date now.
    Anyway, making a bot that fetches from Baka-Tsuki discord would be even better than manually updating...

    That's possible but isn't the same information shown on their twitter account? https://twitter.com/Baka_Tsuki

    I'm not on their discord so I'm trying to confirm if the same information is shown on the discord and their twitter account.

    True, the releases are the same on twitter, maybe that's easier to use as a source.
