    That's a gross oversimplification; he had a heart attack, almost died, and chose to focus on his health instead of dealing with the stress of re-editing his story, taking out parts heand messing up the story, and/or have future chapters approved or rejected according to a censor's whims .

    Also, Qidian dropped the novel but still owns the copyright. Even if he wanted to continue elsewhere, he couldn't.

    Oh is that what happened? I'm a lot less pissed at the author now. Qidian isn't that much to blame either (at least in this case).

    I'd like to address this statement in saying that it's patently untrue. According to the author's wife in a tieba (kinda like chinese reddit) thread, attempts have been made by the author to rectify the story and regain permission to continue it to no avail. He is unable to continue it because of copyright issues. Can you imagine someone cutting their near-600-chapter income-generating work short just because of a childish tantrum?

    Thanks for the clarification. This is definitely part of it, but the author did recover from his sickness and continued writing for a while before the censors struck.

    Either way, the author appears to be much more careful in his new project if you read his funny 'self-censors' in the prologue of his new story, Black Iron's Glory. He's been updating 8 times a week ever since and the story's building up to be quite a ride.

    Should the author ever get permission to continue, you can count on us to be there to translate it. In the meantime, we're going to translate his new story to take over TRL when the available chapters run out.

    Or is it possible for a fan fiction to be done without being copyrighted or something?

    There are a few. Though IMO, one of the best things about TRL isn't just the story, but the release rate and quality of the translations. It's hard to find something that matches up.

    The closest one I can think of is Common Sense of A duke's Daughter. Though it's gone through a few translators, and the translation quality varies with each one. There is also Isekai Tensei Soudouki which is actually a lot like TRL (though the MC is still a kid), but the releases are inconsistent after the last translator dropped it.

    I passed through the comments so all in all TRL is dead and there's no chance of revival? Hoping is new work is just as good.Anyone know the title? I had crying faces here but I guess nuf turned that off.

    The new story is Black Iron’s Glory. It's about a guy who transmigrates into a 16-year-old middle school student during a renaissance era. Not so much sword & magic (though there is some of that), but muskets and gunpowder are around. It's pretty good, if you like TRL's writing style it'll be familiar. The characters and world are well-written and interesting. I'm guessing the kingdom's politics will play a more important role compared to TRL, though the MC is training to be a warrior, so we'll see how it goes. IMO it's quite good, it avoids a lot of the tropes you usually see in reincarnation-type webnovels.

    At the moment it seems like a lot of background information instead of story progression. The author seems to want to set up the world but I think that's mostly done so the MC's story can pick up.

    It just came out a few months ago and the author's written 100 chapters, though there's only 8 chapters+prologue translated at the moment. Translations are somewhat sporadic, once TRL is done Ryogawa said they'll switch to BIG for more consistent releases.

    Like when the chapter talked about the discussion of future historians and scholars regarding rise of the ragebear dynasty and fall of the empire.

    Same as ever, you can write fanfics about anything just can't make money of it and probably have to put a disclaimer since they all do it.
    Unless you're Chinese, then you can be a greedy illiterate douche that makes money of fanfics in their lawless land and butchers the original too.
