I believe LMS isn't Munpia. At least according to it's NU page.

OMDGEAR Yup. I tell bachingchung that Webnovel had a new license. He might miss the news.
MasterKeene please no, I rather pay the translators and author as donations or whatnot directly than getting it here at this moment. Who knows when we'll they'll take away the novel too and throw us a huge paywall that's impossible to pass for other readers with high hopes but can't afford to pay the price all the times..
kumadam then again, they also need to make a living. So it just sucks for others I guess if it actually got moved here and have that paywall. I'm mad because at first they said that there'll be free chapters a day because of premiums but then it just upped and gone. I feel like I was robbed blind and betrayed even though I know this was coming..
Please don’t. It’ll be locked behind a paywall. Can you imagine how many SS such a huge novel will cost to read? Some novels on the site alreasy cost 12,000+ SS, I don’t want to see a 60,000 SS novel.
MasterRabbink there are a lot of publishers for KR novels. Munpia ain't the same level as Tencent. QI alone couldn't even translate all of their books, so even if they signed all KR novels, they'll be biased on prioritizing CN novels first.
P.S. rainbow turtle is the translator for LMS, so going to his site will be better. Also the raws ain't that far ahead and the releases were slow. The latter part is boring so the TLs weren't that enthusiastic on translating it.
bachingchung *her site. And Royalroad had been translating pretty much every volume before her
slipith i thought rainbow turtle was gay. XD
MasterKeene arcmechine translation dropped it and a fan picked it up and does mechin translation
bachingchung dropped
Amirhimel it svcks now anyway. So no surprise there.
You really shouldn't ask Qi to pick up any ongoing kr novels. Look at The First Hunter. They stupidly began from ch 1 when previous translation, readable ones, were about 60+ chapters ahead. If Qi really picked it up they would begin at ch 1.
Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it. I just hope that it will be finished 'coz I like the novel much. I understand that their are parts that aren't interesring to read. Most of the novels have that part. Lol.
Again, thanks for the update and have a nice day y'all
OMDGEAR That means WN couldn't purchase old translator chapters.
MasterRabbink
Yeah. I would rather they start from 67 or somewhere around there, do past chapters on their own time after it's complete, then start over from scratch. They wasted over 6 months for stuff we've already read. With God and Devil World they started from chapters in the late 100's, so they could have done the same.

OMDGEAR WN didn't target 'old' readers only. They had many readers who hadn't read the novel.
If they start from 67. They "SEND" their customer looking at other sites.
This is why 'translated' novel had lower chance to be translated. See the 'Legendary' novel request thread. Gwahahaha.

Well if new readers check NU they will find old links to past chapters, and comment section and LCD will reveal there are already translated chapters out there. There are a few ways to find those chapters. And starting over from scratch will encourage these new readers to go to those sites. Starting from where it let off is more likely to keep readers.

OMDGEAR Do Google ever ask its searcher to check Yahoo since it had been there first? Or perhaps Bing asked its user to check Google first? No. They are competitor.
Besides from Webnovel/Chinese Author point of view, that site is 'illegally' translated and PUBLISHED content. Perhaps later DMCA team would work if the other sites was too many, but early chapter is often given as free sample.
MasterRabbink
I'm not saying Qi should advertise for those sites. And starting from scratch is not in any way going to deter readers from looking them up. You can't hide they exist like I explained previously, so I don't get your argument.
And if Qi could DMCA sites for illegal content they would have done so over a year ago when Web Novel kicked off. Even in the forums today readers are bitching about no free chapters and expensive spirit stones, and recommending everyone to use those sites.
