This rating of 5, is to show my respect and appreciation of the content of the novel itself, as well as for the effort and time that RWX put into translating these. As one of my favourite novels of all time, it's sad to see it being stolen (copied and pasted) here, basically disregarding the effort and time put in by RWX. Even if QI and WXW are at odds at the moment, there's no need to disregard and utterly disrespect the effort and time of various translators who put out translations that are of high quality, unlike some of the novels on QI. This act is utterly shameless and deplorable, and I can only say that it's sad that (presumably) civilized and educated adults can do this sort of thing.

LIKEIf you want to appreciate the author you should read it here. Since I'm pretty sure that they work for quidian. A lot of people seem to want to ignore the fact that quidian is the original publisher of these stories. And while it is true that wuxia world eventually got a license for translation for these novels they actually used pirated material for years before getting said license, and made a lot of money doing so.

Shut up Nerd (Don't take it seriously pls, I know that the original publishers are qidian, but still stealing months, if not years of translations still isn't something this easily acceptable)

It is legally and business smart, to allow pirates to do all the work and then use the licence to take it all. Although unethical as hell but most companies dont care about etgics unless its against the law.

Well you are not completly correct because while Qidian has the rights for the original story and maybe even the translation licence the same goes not for the translation itself all Qidian can legally do is ask Wuxiaworld to take the translation down. Publishing it here without their agreement is not quite legal, as it more or less falls under creative licence laws which for example also effect songs and the like you may not be allowed to sell a cover version but neither is the original licence holder allowed to sell you cover.

Actually WW legally had the license to translate and post. They purchased the rights. RWX Has the legal Coopyright to the translated works. I believe he has posted this here himself.
KunPengx:Qidian did not steal it didn't belong to WW, also Qidian isn't making us pay for these chapters.
