    What do you all think? I think it is counterproductive to have pick up requests for their novels as only those who are ignorant/new to the community/ or simply masochists will translate their novels without permission
    Given that Qidian owns a 50% stake in JJWXC, I wonder if we will have to consider in the future if we should ban those too.
    Also the most popular Korean novels on munpia
    Wheew! :sweating_profusely:
    Tencent is everywhere
    I am sure Zongheng will start sending Cease and Desist orders too when they get big enough
    Oh well, I don't really give a shit. There is always syosetu.
    Chinese translators can translate Japanese novels from Chinese sources.
    It will be a meta-translation but more loli for those who love them :blob_coughblood:

    I say, no to the ban. Besides, I feel like most BL comes from Jjwxc. QI does not translate BL. If you ban Jjwxc petitions, you ban most of my reading list. And I do not like to MTL. It hurts my brain way too much.

    I can already feel my grammar skills going downhill. (Despite my teasing Wuji on his grammar yesterday.) And grammar skills is the family business. Don’t make me drop the torch on the family business. :blobexpressionless:

    You misunderstood.
    I didn't say ban JJWXC but Qidian novels.
    I am just pointing out that since they have a stake in JJWXC just like Munpia, getting a C&D for translating BL isn't so far fetched

    I spoke to them and even offered to translate for free and was rejected. They don't want anyone translating their novels

    Well, I was making a joke. Sort of. My mother was an English professor. My aunt had a job related to grammar at one point. My uncle also cares about grammar. My grandfather proofread scripts for Hollywood as well as being a film critic, and instilled a deep care for grammar in my mom and her siblings.

    If you’d been paying attention to my “Grammar with Anra” series, most of this would be old news. :p
