Light novels were a type of literary work that was light, humorous, and romantic. They were often published in magazines. As the price of light novels was relatively low, many people liked to buy printed copies or e-books to read. Although purchasing a printed edition or an e-book could support the author's creation, the advantage of an e-book was that it could be more portable to read. In addition, because the price of e-books was relatively low, many people could buy them cheaply. Compared to electronic pirated copies, paper originals usually had a higher collection value and could be preserved better. Electronic pirates may have typos, format errors, etc., and because it is easy to spread, it may be more pirated. Although buying the original paper copy or electronic pirated copy could support the author's creation, the original paper copy and electronic pirated copy had a higher collection value and better preservation effect than the original paper copy.
I'm not sure what novel you're referring to. If you can provide more context or information, I will try my best to answer your questions. Generally speaking, the difference between an original novel and a pirated novel was the copyright protection and the number of copies printed. Genuine novels are authorized by the author or the publishing house to be published. The number of copies printed and sold is limited with the consent of the copyright owner. Pirated novels, on the other hand, were not restricted by the copyright owner and could be printed and sold on a large scale. As a result, pirated novels were often more widely distributed than genuine novels and could contain more typos or edited content. As for why some novels had two original copies and four pirated copies, it was probably because the pirates had to constantly release new pirated versions to maintain their competitiveness in the market in order to expand sales. In addition, pirated versions of some novels may be more popular. Pirates will constantly revise and improve based on reader feedback to better meet the needs of readers.
Using pirated versions was illegal. Piracy in China is a crime against copyright owners. According to the copyright law of the People's Republic of China, the use of pirated goods includes but is not limited to: 1. Use pirated works in the form of copying, distribution, performance, screening, broadcasting, adaptation, translation, compilation, suppression, etc. 2. Using pirated works for commercial activities such as advertising, commercial promotions, etc. 3. Give pirated works as gifts. Piracy not only violated the rights of copyright owners, but it could also bring economic losses to the original author. Therefore, using pirated works is illegal and may lead to legal consequences and legal responsibilities.
Buying pirated novels is not illegal, but in many countries, including China, pirated novels are considered to be illegal acts of intellectual property violation. In China, pirated novels were regarded as copyright violation and would be punished by law. According to the copyright law, copyright includes the right to create, adapt, translate, compile, and so on. Pirate novels that violate these rights may cause the rights and interests of the copyright owner to be violated. Buying pirated novels would also involve copyright disputes. If the author of the pirated novel is well-known, their copyright may have been granted to multiple institutions or individuals. If you buy the pirated novel, you may violate the copyright of these copyright owners. Although it was not illegal to buy pirated novels, it was recommended not to buy pirated novels to avoid violating intellectual property rights and bringing unnecessary losses to the author. If you want to read a novel, it's best to choose a legitimate way, such as buying a physical book or reading it online.

I'm not entirely sure. It depends on the popularity and demand. If there's still a significant readership interested in the series, there's a possibility that they are still being printed. However, it's also possible that they've gone out of print, especially if the series has become less popular over time.
Well, that's hard to say. It might depend on factors like the demand for the comic and the production capabilities of the publisher. Sometimes they print a large initial run and then do additional printings if it's successful.
It's not precisely known exactly how many copies were printed initially. Estimates vary, but it's believed to be a relatively small number compared to later comic print runs.
