    Qidian was given consent to use any translations of Qidian works that fall udner the 20 novels, when Wuxiaworld signed a contract previously with Qidian.

    So....it isn't "steal", but more like you set a "camp" right in front of someone else "house" so that they will need to go through you 1st before going to WW.
    This is "Damn Genius".

    How about you fix your own website before you trash someone else's.

    I've pinged you more than once with valid advice and complaints on your website and you've never responded to me.
    I may dislike your management but if you are here to stay at least do it right.

    That's fucking hilarious.

    It's a good thing I'll never give a cent to Qidian.

    Honestly if WW stopped translating QI would just put some other translator on it. While QI would love to have the quality work that WW does at the end of the day the real property they're after is the rights to the already translated chapters. The biggest issue when copyright owners take over is that they have to start from the beginning since the community translations are considered a derivative work and not subject to the original copyright. This is why Yen press lost a lot of business. Most of the community didn't care about the re-release of volumes they already read, they just wanted to read the continuation of the story. Everyone rightly complains about the payout that the translators get but forget to mention that at the end of the day QI is really after the literal years of work the translators have already done.

    Seriously since you are just posting their work and also stealing traffic are they going to be paid?

    They might aswell be free workers for your side

    I mean, I'd like some sort of communication from @rwxwuxiaworld on this. Until he says that this was part of the agreement, I can't blindly trust your word on it.

    Qidian takes all suggestions seriously, we do everything we can to change the website for the better but there is a lot of logistics and we have to listen to every reader, so don't feel like we are ignoring you or your suggestions are unimportant or invalid, we do our best to take every suggestion serious and do what we can to improve the site and the reading experience.

    What about IRAS, AC and TMW? would WXW rehost them again? or forever QI is the only one hosting em?

    the question QI aren't answering or not really giving a clear cut answer;

    Does WXW know and acknowledge your dual-hosting?

    YES or NO?
