    Hi SecondRate, I think you have me confused with Wiz, as I never made a comment on this issue. I'm just chilling here with my yoghurt ^^

    I just hate hypocrites who preach about the illegality of something whilst being a part of a community that is basically built upon it. Besides, I was never talking about the legality of it to start with. Someone wonder if IETs works had permission I said what I remembered, and someone decided that it was necessary to point out the legalities of it. Because ... why? Done with you too.

    One thing I keep seeing in this thread is that its fraud, and that he is not providing what people are paying for. First thing I'm going to say is stfu. You are not paying for a service, you are donating. The difference is that he does not actually owe you shit if you donate to him. Because you are not purchasing something under the conditions that he will owe you a product or service, he doesn't owe you shit. To those of you who are super pissed off that you were lied to, THIS IS THE INTERNET. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT. With the way that EN novels are looked down on, no wonder someone would want to lie (even though he might not have). Calm down your raging autism for a few seconds and relax. Finding quality novels is hard enough, especially without some retards freaking the fuck out over something they don't even know is true or not. I'm sure you'll be real proud of yourself when another person quits the community because some raging retard kept harassing him/her.

    no it is not :/. That is like saying I defend child labour, cause I wear nikes. Or like saying I defend theft, cause I torrent. I would be a fool to not take advantage of reading what I enjoy.

    Lets see ... someone said something about the morality of pretending to ba a CN translator then there was a response about how most translators receive payment for a property that they have no permission to trans anyway so the moral high ground argument is dumb then somthing about "i never said that translating without permission was okay" which is where i said "if you read it you condone it" wich leads to here.

    i don't commit anything, I am not the one translating the novels.
    and no I have only ever torrented two things in my life. I was just making an example, cause i know a lot of people torrent.
    the fuck are you even talking about, I feel like you have completely twisted everything I have said. I never said that I condemn child labour, where did you even get that from.

    you just admitted to committing theft twice..... If you ever go to court, don't defend yourself, you'll get yourself committed for attempted murder when you were being charged with aggravated assault.

    For the record, I have no interest in the ethics debate.
    I'm only concerned about The Empyrean Overlord's status here on Novelupdates.

    For better or worse, NU does not currently allow EN novels (original works).

    And at the moment, there is not a shred of evidence that TEO is a Chinese novel as the "translator" claims. On the other hand, there's a fair bit of circumstantial evidence which points to it being an original work. With this being the case, I think it's unfair for TEO to continue to be listed here (and fraudulently benefit from NU's platform/exposure) while other EN novels are left out in the cold.

    @Parth37955 @remy911

    If the "translator" responds to the allegation with a typical denial (while also not providing any proof of their claims), what's the next step?
