Sorry buddy. Not gonna talk morality here. But lets talk business instead. In business, morality gets a nod only if its profitable, if not it's called charity instead. First things first, the original (Chinese) was posted on Qidian (China). Yes, there is actually Qidian China. So what's this we're using? This, my friend is developed by Qidian INTERNATIONAL (QI), a sub branch made to translate and spread the goodness that is Qidian novels (and make a tidy profit at the same time). So what's my point? My point is that, Qidian owns the original rights, which means they have a proxy right on translations made based on their originals. Also, based on the agreement between Authors and Qidian China (as stated in their Terms of Service), they retain Rights for an INDEFINITE TERM once posted. So they actually can let people translate and later swoop in and take the translations. Is that legal? If there is no WRITTEN contract expressing permission between them, yes its legal. Is it right? Mayne not, but as stated, I'm not here to talk morality. I'm looking at it from a business perspective. Also, I don't have enough info regarding the full conflict because W.W. did initially make a brouhaha over this but after some time it died down and got swept into the cupboard like so much dirty skeletons. Also, being put here means the AUTHOR (ORIGINAL OWNER AND FRIGGIN ORIGINAL SOURCE) has a cut in the money pool too.

Yea that’s how Chinese from China works no moral at all they are totally monks under the umbrella. No hair no sky. Say it in Cantonese that’s what you’ll see what I means. Money only matters.

My very first novel and the best that made brought me to love novels similar. Although i absolutely love this novel I am seething with about about the fact that it was moved from Wuxiaworld and brought to QI.

This novel is good but you bastars QI how you dare show this translation like your own Nowel transleted by wuxiaworld.com You should only link to WW.

SitsInChaosLv10

I am only giving this a high rating out of respect of this novel itself. I definitely recommend that you give it a read, but I recommend that you give it a read on the site that it came from. http://***.wuxiaworld.com/cdindex-html/ That is a link to the novel on the site it originally translated on and reading it there supports those who spent countless hours of work translating this wonderful book instead of supporting someone who spent a couple of hours copy pasta-ing this novel without receiving any permission to do so.

Thanks for wuxiaworld who bring this great novel to our community. A great novel from I Eat Tomato, he is my favorite author. Is this book worth to read ? the answer is YOU DEFINETELY REGRET IF YOU NOT READ THIS .... well it just my opinion. BTW why this novel released in qidian ? as far as I know the this novel should be taking over by wuxiaworld. sorry for my ignorance as they aren't any statement from Ren (Wuxiaworld) about this

Great wuxia novel. For Kylse, please dont misuse this space for your personal reason. This is a review section FOR the novel. Why did the first and the second paragraph of your comment contradicted ? The first one was justified because you did care about the novel itself but why did you defend Qidian and thinks that all of us is stupid on your second paragraph ? isnt this what you call by selfish or personal reason that dont have a connection about thr novel itself ? ** : sorry english wasnt my first leaguage

Thank god ISSTH and CD completed before this sh***y war between QI and ww , still i am reading novels from both sites, chinese authors are great creators of imaginative world. If QI going to monopolise all the chinese novels and then putting paypal for reading novels, then i have to stop this amazing journey in chinese novels because i cant afford it. But i hope this doesn't happen.....

The 1st to second, and maybe a little if the third volume is annoying to read, but once u get to the part where linley gets together with that one chick at the erwin institute, i can guarantee u, that it only gets better, so....much....BETER!!! Warning: there will be scenes that make u cry, i know i did..... a lot too..... Warning:same scenes will make u mad too, and some others as well.... Ps: by that one chick, i mean the the first one, u know, the ine he doesnt actually know about, but is in a relationship with.... that one. Pss:him smashing the two crystals, that part will make u sad and angry..... also ****** the statue/sculpture, make u feels sad to.... but these feelings are what gets u hooked on this book, with more feels to come in the future. Also, i swear, this is the only book, where i myself became super f#cking p!ssed for the MC, anf cried and felt moody when bad things happened to him. I was also expectant of other chinese books too after i finished reading this, but those other books....could never even get close the the backsrory, plot, character developement, the excitement and worry for the MC, the relationships and betrayals, deceit and cunning, and SO MUCH MORE!!!😤😤😤😧 that other books just cant compare to this one. I might be a little baised, since this is the first translatef book I've ever read, but it is really good starting the middle of 3rd volume, and it only goes uphill from there......though the end is so....anticlimactic.......its great though... Now then, if u have eniugh time to read to here, then..... GO READ THIS BOOK ALREADY, QUALITY GUARANTEED BY ME🙃🙃🙃

Coiling Dragon is my very first novel that got me hooked into reading other numerous translated Chinese novels. I highly recommend any new readers to start with this novel. The story and characters are amazing. The novel was already completely translated by RWX on wuxiaworld.com in 2015. So go to the original translator's website if you want to start reading!

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..." Note: I don't own the cover. If the creator wants me to take down the cover or put credit, please notify me by replying to my review at the Review section.

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts. However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew. Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack. There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree. “Let the war begin.”

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Void Evolution System

5 years ago, Earth was subject to an event now known as the “World Awakening”. At that time, the world completely changed. Mana awakened in the world, gates began opening, and a holographic screen showed up in front of the eyes of every human that outlined their “status”. Each individual was given a talent to start with, ranging from simple abilities like enhanced eyesight to insane fantasy stuff like pyrokinesis. And within this myriad of abilities, Damien awakened a spatial affinity with the skill “short-distance teleportation”. At first, he was excited, thinking about intense battles and gaining great power, but the reality was quick to shoot him down. His ability only worked in the area 10 meters around himself, and his physical stats were insanely weak, leaving him tired after using his ability a couple of times. Disillusioned by his weakness, Damien lived a quiet life doing anything he could to meet ends meet, until one day, everything changed. Damien was betrayed and thrown into a gate, left to fend for himself in a labyrinth of beasts. Something snapped in him that day. He refused to stay weak and keep his head down any longer. When he emerged from the darkness, he found himself in a new world with no idea how to return to earth. However, he wasn’t the same kid he was when he first fell. ===== Discord: https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Cover by Lia.Audelia
