    So after looking for several novels with the adapted to manga/wha/hua found that several had the tag but there was NO adaptation ever. Just now found it on Summoning the Holy Sword. Already removed the tag after searching a few minutes for the so called manga.
    Is there a secret place that holds a single secret chapter so they have the tag or is it just missplaced?

    Sometimes the adapted manga/manhua/manhwa uses the raw title for it or another translated word for them
    like for example
    A Wild Last Boss Appeared here on nuf, the manga version of it was called Yasei no Rasubosu ga Arawareta!

    And the: To Be A Power in the Shadows it's manga version name is The Eminence in the Shadow

    If you talk about the qidian novel, it seems it does have a adaptation in manhua.

    googling the name of that summoning the holy sword just showed me https://ac.qq.com/Comic/comicInfo/id/630204

    sure people are too lazy to go manhua instead of manga, and everyone is lazy or trolling the tags at times.
    oh and never search using the 'translated' name..........

    Sometimes even the adaption uses completely different names from the original source..

    Well, even if it was adapted, doesn't mean that adaptation has been translated. I've seen lots of untranslated adaptations, and unless you search them by their original language names it won't show up.

    Yeah, never searched using the original name in their language.
    @Raneday yeah, some adaptations have wildly different names sometimes. Eminence in the shadows i found it by mistake by searching shadows for another manga.

    Sometimes it may be missplaced, but it should generally be there properly.

    My suggestion would be to just google the novel's name and see if you find a wikipedia page... If not, then try searching for a mangaupdates page... If not, then you can just assume that the manga adaptation never reached western audience in any shape or form.
