    Something like 60+ I think.Plus back then that was a lot higher than majority of currently translated novels

    That invisible dragon has a rating of 4.2/5.0 instead of 10.0/5.0. It's a conspiracy, I mean how is it possible that 96 people gave invisible dragon a rating of 1.0? Conspiracy I say!

    Honestly was looking forward to your answer on what you think the biggest scandel was man... (when you lurk long enough you recognize some names and your username is one i remember...)

    I think this pales in comparison to when loliquent quit on this novel.

    Oh do share. :blobpopcorn:
    It still goes on, on their website though
    I had a good laugh. They released 7 chapters all of a sudden. I wonder why :blobamused:

    Oh i don't know if you were around when loliquent was one of the people translating that novel, (I can't say much cuase I am just a lurker), but eventually she quit translating and took down thier loli site. The drama here may seem big to you is cuase you are stirring the shit stick but the i think the drama of this is smaller in comparison. All you did was lit his motivation, whether this wanes down or not I don't know. And I still think the drama back then was bigger (maybe it was just me).

    I missed all the good dramas. Even the Swallowed Star drama. So sad

    Swallowed Star was so bad... fans so quick to hate on translators. Made me kinda hate the CN fanbase a little bit for a while. And honestly I think this is the reason why r/lightnovels banned CN novels (wanted to distance from the drama) and r/noveltranslations got made.

    I have to agree with it. It is the reason I stopped novels like Emperor of the Cosmos and started translating Female protagonist Josei novels. Female readers are not as toxic as male readers for Chinese novels. It is pretty pathetic.

    Not Otherworldly Evil Monarch. Read a bit further down on the page, it was actually Overlord Empyrean Monarch or something like that. Different story.

    Mmmmmm, biggest scandal? Dunno, but I expected a bunch of people to say Qidian indeed... That's such a lame scandal though, it lost all the charm already, yet keeps on being brought back.

    I really liked the judgment on the imouto translations though, that one was pretty hilarious~
    Empyrean Overlord.

    I'm a rather straight forwards guy.

    I ask questions when I want them, I give answers when I do. I'm not going to ask a question just to fuck with you and say "Your opnion is wrong".

    Worst scandal... maybe WW vs QI, because it sort of divided the community into groups.
