    Two gravity novels are on the upcomingnovels page for QI. What's happening here?
    As far as I know, QI owns GT and both novels have active translations right? What's the point?

    qidian (webnovel) owns GT, but GT also has novels that qidian do not hold license like age of adepts and zhan long (i believe this one already left GT for veratales) so they can't move to qidian site

    GT is owned by webnovel but the site management is dead now. QI doesn't want to manage GT now, so they are moving everything they can to their website (the ones QI can use on webnovel.com). The translators and technicians on GT aren't being paid for quite a while now. They are surviving on the patreon and donations. So all the qidian novels on GT are being moved to webnovel.

    What did you think was gonna happen? GT was nothing more than QI's way of bleeding into the culture over here in the west. They achieved that and thanks to people willing to actually pay money to read their chapters at webnovel, GT is no longer useful as a "free" site.

    Just like in a novel.

    GT was a stepping stone and now that it has been used, they will slowly kill it off.
