    I also asked that question when the "GGP lied" thread was ongoing. This is some serious conflict of interest that is going on. It seems to me that GGP person maliciously and knowingly signed deals with rival companies to steal their work (GT is now part of Qidians parent company). These rivaling companies probably had no idea that GT and GGP where going to be part of QIdian (or any of it's affiliates) and signed off the translation rights in good faith believing that GT would stay neutral (solely owned by itself and not its rival and fight of a buyout if Qidian tries, kinda like WW). But he knowingly signed anyways and tried to hide the fact that his site was owned by Qidian's parent company or was in the process and even hid it from his staff and translators. At this point, I believe that 17k and Zongheng should be in the process of finding out or already knowing. They might be starting legal action as this clearly a case of conflict of interest as their biggest rival has ownership for the translation rights and even probably ebook sales of their novels. I think Zongheng might have caught on and that is why they denied rights for for infinity armament as they may have had their suspicions (also, GGP was saying the issued lied with translator and Zonheng and other stuff when there was a thread asking why IA was pulled. He was lying through his teeth). We could hear in the upcoming days but we could only speculate as we are not the parties involved.

    And it's up:
    http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/gravity-tales-and-qi-mega-merge-thread.44158/

    Please post any future opinions and speculation there.

    ---Repost because of megathread

    Now that Gravity Tales is owned by Qidian, all the lies have once again been flying left and right, up and down. Superfluous words comes out like a fine literacy work worthy of a top calligrapher.

    Aside from my downright disappointment with lies, lies, and more lies (and it always has been lies with parties involving Qidian, I don't even), I'm more particular of the future with the current situation.

    As we all know, Zong Heng had given their agreement to license [Shura's Wrath], [Master of the Stars] and [Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation] on Gravity Tales.

    And that's what pissing me off. Aside from all the lies GGP (aka Spineless Coward) made, it's more of his decisions to give Qidian 90% of GT's shareholder.

    Now, Zong Heng's licensed novels are under Qidian's grasp. What the hell? It's not even the community that he shitted on, it's the business parties that he disregarded too. It's basic common courtesy to not involve selling the majority of your shareholder to a competitive company when you have reached an agreement with the said company.

    Nice move, GGP. Please. Don't take us for idiots. Whatever Gravity Tales had planned, it means nothing now that Qidian has a 90% ownership of GT.

    But seriously, I wonder how Zong Heng will approach this matter and future agreements with their licensing. Just when the other competitive companies are joining the fray, Qidian ate up GT by outright buying them.

    What's the point of a license agreement when Qidian could just simply buy them, leaving Zong Heng and 17k to bite the dust?

    It really doesn't mean anything what GT say now that they are under Qidian. Even the transfer of novels to GT and even the mention of employing translators while giving a flat rate of salary. That's probably Qidian's take to garner more people using other means from one of our highly trusted source of the translation community.

    You really disgrace the hell out of me, GGP. No wonder people leave you. No wonder you are full of lies. But what I care most is the aftermath of all this.

    Now that you fked things up, Zong Heng and 17k better not have take a step back from the western community. Really, they were already trying to get themselves here and this happened.

    Who knows? Maybe Qidian will be our go-to after all this debacle after all the drama has ended. What's everyone's take on the matter?

    I swear, Qidian will be the death of the community. Not now, but the forecoming future.

    i still wonder, why does GGP still posts his novel on WW? I mean, if GT was under QI, then they wait to move the novel to GT?
    Also, if GT isn't under QI, GGP still should have moved his novel to GT as he has an agreement with QI.

    that saying, in either case, why is BTTH still on WW? Is it because of all the hate, as to not negatively impact BTTH?

    I personally believe that even though WW started with Qidian novels, and their most popular ones remain so, they will eventually transition entirely over to novels by Zong Heng and 17k due to the legal issues. So WW will always be an outlet for those two companies.
