What kind of joke is this? Only the first chapter makes sense with a description, next chapters do not make any sense at all, it's like completely different story. Since i have started to read novels i have never seen such a ridiculous situation.

LIKEThe thing is that Qidian is a giant company. For them to do these stupid mistakes on their own is really illogical. My guess would be that they simply don't check the quality in the first place, maybe just some statistics and that's all.
They are definitely involved in choosing what novels to bring to trial reads and such. There is no way we would have dozens of Faloo novels suddenly appearing if it wasn't with the consent of someone in management. Which is enough for me to blame the whole company on the theft imo. I'm completely guessing on the next part, but I think that's why the rewrites, and therefore lower quality, is appearing. This isn't me attempting to be racist (usually said before something racist, but I don't mean it that way =p), but China does have a strong cheating culture and there is more shame in being caught and punished than there is doing it in the first place. Rewriting it, changing nationalities, and everything else can give them (a very bad) excuse of it just being a parody, or fan fiction, or any number of excuses.
Instead of saying cheating, I'd say they simply have such copyright laws that suits the country in a way that noone can have full control over their creations(if I understood it right).
I mean, you can look at the issues that have occurred due massive amounts of cheating during exams, especially university exams, that occurs in China. Or that Chinese businesses cheat customers (the reason that Chinese goods are stereotyped to be of bad quality has legitimate reasons). Or stuff like this where they have fewer property and copyright laws. It's definitely not 'it's just simply bad copyright laws', there is a lot more to it than that and to defend it with such a bad excuse is laughable. This extends to way more than that. Although I must clarify that I've done research since my last comment and it's not specifically Chinese culture and may be the result of the entire nation advancing too quick. What America and Europe accomplished over 2-3 hundred years has occurred in less than 100 in China, and the need/desire to advance there is definitely much more than here. Resulting in cheating to get ahead and a lack of time to get all the necessary regulations and have society adapt to it
