As the translator of this novel, I think the translation is great, but I do not give my permission to Qidian International, a.k.a. webnovel.com, to post this translation. According to international copyright law, it is illegal for webnovel.com to post this translation. I expressly forbid them to do so. Let me repeat myself. I, Deathblade, the translator of this novel, do not permit this translation to be posted anywhere except for wuxiaworld.com! Anyone else who posts it is a faceless loser!

LIKEpersonally, I don't see the problem with it being posted on here too. Putting it another way, even if I read it on WW, I wouldn't be paying for it anyway so what's the issue as long as money is not being made off of it?(which is the part I kinda do dislike, someone is most likely ****** money from it)

Don't be dick,mtfk. We, the community of Chinese Novel Readers have been always ethical. Thanks to the fore runners like deathnlade and ren, we were able to read these novels and get to know more about this. Qidian is just using the road they have built to get to top. Not to mention, the rudeness.
theFred:But did the original author give you license to both translate their copyrighted work and then claim copyrights to the translation??
They still earn quite a bit from this stealing translation and especially with all those ads. The reason why I read in QI is that it's easier to read here as you only have to scroll down and especially I read offline sometimes, so I load the chapters in advance. I do agree that they shouldn't be stealing without asking. You have to ask for copyright first or actually paying the translator that you are taking from.

I'm not being a dick. It's a valid question. I have no problem with people ****** money from translating foreign novels. However if they're not licensed to do so, they shouldn't be crying if their unauthorized translations get published on other sites. So if they had permission to make money translating, then they can *****, otherwise suck it up.
