News Chinese government cracking down on web novel sites

https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/lets-make-a-guidebook-for-arrogant-young-masters.56154/

suddenly, it became clear to me, too bad this world don't have MC

 

We are talking about a government that burn their own temple's and art in the name of revolution after all.....

 

What the hell
Isn't that category majority of fiction ?

 

Goddamn censorship, why do people have to be so uptight all the time!

 

if i read correctly

fighting is allowed.
infact the notice recommended "xianxia" i think?

whats not allowed is mass slaughter or gore.

like the mc chopping off heads and authors describing the scene of blood spurting out like a fountain, or burning entire villages down

but yea, only japanese isekai with beta MC will be allowed after this imho

 

Seems like we don’t have any concrete information. The banned author list seems short if gruesome fighting was the criteria.

 

So all the Harem novels and "sex is cultivation" novels will bite the dust I assume. Rip ATG lol.

 

ATG is not on Qidian though. Mars Gravity has his own site if I'm not mistaken.

 

Does anyone know what's happening to Battle Frenzy? I went to Qidian and typed 斗战狂潮 into the search bar but couldn't find it on their site...

I don't think the novel has been completed yet either. Does anyone know if it's being updated on a regular basis?

 

Qindian owns Gravity or more precisely Tencent. As long the novel doesn't originated from Qindian it should be fine for now.

 

Doesn’t matter. This ban is coming from the goverment not Qidian. Any novel that released in chinese are under the same limitation

 

Are they only going to allow china culture loving novels now? This is just crippling their novel industry. Every new novel will be so lame now.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one... such a shame. They don’t learn a thing from Shaolin Temple fire and the impact after that

 

I think that's not it. Pretty sure some novels with nationalistic crap were removed too. I think they are just hitting the ones with sexual, religious and violent content.

I was checking out social media feeds of some Chinese readers and one guy claimed that xianxia novels will no longer be allowed to feature Buddhist or Taoist cultivators. Because Buddhism and Taoism are real religions.

But that's just his personal opinion so it may not be true.

 

Without a moral code humans regress into monkeys, but worse.

 

ATG source would be. I understand QI has a monopoly over there.

 

It's more like they don't care. The Chinese government is highly antagonistic towards religion. The current ruler of China is particularly autocratic. I think China crackdowns are often more about reminding the populace who is boss than an actual concern that something is wrong.

 

It's probably about keeping the population under their thumb. Nothing has to be wrong. They just walk around kicking the populace ever now and then to show them who's boss. That's my thought anyway.

 

The current emperor of China has shown himself to be a pretty extreme control freak. If people fight back he'll probably crack down twice as hard.

 

you are wrong... china doesn't have an emperor but they do have a presitator (president/dictator)...
