    Does anybody know why reverend insanity went hiatus?

    Also anybody know where can I find its continuation? Can be either done by other authors or a reader fan made is also acceptable.

    Thank youuuu

    Heard that CCP dog found it unpleasant and had it discontinued.

    Look, I'm no more a fan of Chinese censorship than anyone here, but let's be real here because this is ridiculous. The title alone could have been enough to get this book banned.

    It may have been something else, granted, but it is at least factual that the author retroactively changed the name of one of the characters for that reason. (xi jian ping -> lin jian xing, changed xi clan to lin clan). At least, as per the discussions on the translators' discord as I have not read the original / updated original text myself.

    ... crap, accidentally deleted the first post. Oh well, thankfully you got it in a quote.

    I will, however, retract my hypothesis that nothing else influenced the ban as it's true my supposition was based on RI's content VS what goes on in other series from a different cultural perspective. EDIT: Part of my reasoning that it played a major role is the timing - if it was just due to heinous stuff happening, why in the middle of Book 6? The more graphic stuff is far earlier in the series IIRC?
