    According to CKtalon, 1 monthly vote = 100 CNY = $15.21 USD

    To obtain a monthly vote, one can pay for it by spending 100 CNY (~15.21 USD). A large portion of this money goes to the author and also buys you a monthly vote.



    According to the top monthly novels on Qidian right now base on monthly votes

    http://top.qidian.com/Book/TopDetail.aspx?TopType=3
    [ Fantasy Cultivation ] Genkai's door
    Votes month 15620

    15,620 x $15.21 = $237,580 USD in monthly votes

    Is this accurate? or I am way wrong?




    True Martial World is right now #40 on the monthly votes with 1734 ($26,374 USD) if the information provided is accurate

    40 [ Oriental fantasy ] Zhenwu world three hundred and twentieth chapters total group SP 1734


    #100 novel on the monthly list has 740 monthly votes (or $11,255)
    #200 novel on the monthly list has 307 monthly votes (or $4669)
    #300 novel on the monthly list has 187 monthly votes (or $2844)
    #400 novel on the monthly list has 127 monthly votes (or $1931)
    #500 novel on the monthly list has 86 month votes (or $1308)

    It looks like etvolare also donated a lot of money to the author of Sovereign of the Three Realms

    http://www.wuxiaworld.com/â™”-sotr-chapter-74/

    And, I also wanted to share that apart from going to my hardworking editors, a large portion of your donations have gone to the amazing author Plow Days, whose genius and brilliance has made all this possible. I’ve taken a partial screenshot of the all time supporters of SOTR, and the name that tops the lists should be quite familiar!

    In the current page, you can see this right now (it will disappear as other people donate)

    Yes, Qidian will take a portion of that. But a large portion of that will go to the author.

    Is that Genkai's Door? (from Google Chrome translation)

    just check, yup it is.

    Genkai's Door is Portal of Wonderland.

    http://www.qidian.com/Book/3676417.aspx


    and yes, Xianxiaworld ruined the translation. That's what you get when the translator is fluent in Chinese but doesn't know much English.

    If you guys think you can help with the translation... editing the series, please do send an e-mail to xianxiaworld. I'm a part of realms in the firmament and I can confirm that there's a certain difficulty if the translator isn't really that good with english and for those that are so much more badly posted, it would be great if someone would help xianxiaworld.

    couldn't help it. I've been reading one of the series in xxw and it just stopped because it has no editors. I'm tied with ritf and college that's why I couldn't do anything about it. Maybe this sort of advertisement could help. xxw badly needs editors... if you want a clue... a chapter takes us about 4-5 hours of editing and consulting so that we won't mess up what the author want to convey.

    wow really man... I don't know... maybe miscommunication. You can try to e-mail them again, they're nice people.
