Predatory pricing, bad translations.

In the beginning there were tons of free translators who worked with donations. Like 5 years ago. Only a few websites like wuxiaworld existed, but they were all free then. None of these groups has explicit permission to tl to English, and Easter publishers didn’t care enough. Sometimes some publisher would dmca a novel translation and people would say rip and continue on. It was a peaceful time, then these f#cktards from China came, greedy f#cks saw the immense readership and started buying up right to Chinese novels. They are a Chinese conglomerate, so obviously Chinese pubs gave them the rights.

Destroyed the entire ecosystem, majority of the translators had to stop because of dmca threats. It was horrible. Then these f#cks started charging for chapters, every year, it gets costlier and free tier gets smaller and smaller.

It went so bad, Wuxiaworld also had to start contacting publishers for rights as they knew if they didn’t, they will lose their works.

These assholes destroyed a volunteer system and made it a business, f#cking shits.

God I get so angry.

They also don’t give a shit about readers too. All they want is revenue. At first they used to ban r18 novels, then they saw the numbers, and realised why not. They will do anything to make a buck. One novel becomes a hit, 2 weeks later, you’ll see 10 garbage novels with the same concept and slight variations, with dogshit quality.

I hate them down to my bones. Qidian can go suck my shit, GOD IM ANGRY NOW.
