MasterRabbink I think they are introducing too many novels to translate tbh. If you think about it, the tens of thousands of novels they have in the Chinese Site isn't really costing them anything, much like the originals here, but the novels they bring here has a translator and editor cost that's piling up every month. So it might become a burden if they can't get enough people to pay for their novels and it may not be a good idea to dilute your finite number of readers into more novels. They may be depending on the future growth, but i wouldn't be too sure about that either.
Not everyone likes to read web novels. The biggest reason why people start reading web novels is because they are free. You can't lose anything but some of your time and that is why people tolerate the undesirable sides of web novels. You can't go screaming about free food as long as it's not totally spoiled with maggots crawling over. But when you make it so the price is at the same or even over the level of something like Amazon Kindle, then they also become a competitor. After all, people have a finite time and money to spend on reading. There is no arguing that the published books in Amazon are a step over in quality compared to the most novels here and there is much more to choose from. The only thing the Amazon may be losing in would be the eastern fantasy(wuxia/xianxia) type of novels, but Amazon has plenty of Western Fantasy and some that even incorporate the cultivation style...
Well, i sure hope they can keep going even if i don't agree with the way they do things, as if they pull out from the international scene, we get nothing. As long as they keep in business, where there is a will, there is a way to read...
