    This is probably the one site I've had the most patience for (I like immortal exercutioner) but they never inform of what is happening and have disappeared again after half a month of resurfacing. Any ideas?

    It happens a lot? They are probably having some issues.
    I have completed two out of three of their novels via mtl so I suggest you do the same thing until they come back or someone picks them up.

    I remember at the beginning of April he noted that over the summer releases would be slow with RL, just can't remember which chapter the note was at the start of

    Hahaha, Qidian is probably the best bet for readers as they have a vested stake in the novel and will do anything for it to succeed.
    Still I am on the same bandwagon

    Qidian most likely kidnapped the translators :blobpopcorn:

    Two options
    1 Read MTL
    2 Pay a translator to translate it

    Qidian is trying to corrupt you with badly used words and typos, then they are also rushing things while skipping editing.

    I read the mtl for immortal executioner to completion, and I can't recommend the series enough. The mtl itself is readable, but that just might be me...;).

    The ending is the only disappointment for me, since it felt rushed. Otherwise I quite liked the fact that harem members aren't lost along the way, like in many other xanxia novels, because of the mc's "fast" cultivation increase. The wives also have a set role (refiner etc.), so the mc isn't constantly the only "can do everything" guy.

    Qidian doesn't make them sign any sort of NDA so him being unable to talk about it is fucking bullshit, and since he's still releasing, albeit at a snails pace, i'm going to say he's just a cunt who doesn't want to tell us anything.

    Sigh... the translator said 5 days ago (chapter 207 comments) that he would have a chapter out in 1-2 days..... I may not be a mathmatical genius but am sure that 5 is after 2.

    He also said he has the chapter ready but is waiting until he can get on a regular schedule of updating a chapter every 1-2 days. I don't know how long that could take.

    Best of luck to the readers.
    I recommend stroking Qidian's ego eg starting a petition of readers readers who want Zhanxian translated.
    When you want something pride should get thrown out the window

    And potentially risk worse TL quality. No thanks. (worse as in different terms/style from current translator)

    Oh well being picky when you have nothing is counterproductive
    You can only complain about quality when you have actual chapters
    Pointless thread is pointless

    I don't mind little gaps in translation (well they are really annoying because this is my favorite xianxia but still), as long as it's not dropped. TL commented "before the end of this month", so there is still hope.

    Yep, and that was in response to the question about a 1-2 day regular schedule so I am hyped. Hyped but not overly optimistic given the track record.
