@Gothic_Temptation and @CKtalon, IMO, the two of you are each other's side of the coin.
If we talk about professionalism, integrity, and respectability, @Gothic_Temptation is respectably right. webnovel should care, and take actions to address the readers concerns about the problems regarding translators behavior and the number of discarded novels situation. For it is only right and just that they do so. Don't you agree?

But, if we look at it in a business perspective, @CKtalon is right too. It's all about "PROFIT" you know what I mean. And, just like what @CKtalon says, translating is just like any other job. Translators can quit anytime. (Lucky they just get away without any consequences(Right?)) And, it is an added work for webnovel to address these reader's concerns and issues at the same time that they are working in studying and contracting newer novels.

At the end of the day, There is no "STRICT LAW" pertaining to:
- Online 1.Companies, 2.Authors, 3.Translators and 4.Reader's Limitations, Rights, and Privileges.
(Correct me if I'm wrong) (Inform me if there is a LAW)

So the term "exploitation" takes place. All of the above(1-4) mentioned included.
(If I exaggerated, then I'm sorry)

    Kritiko The thing is Webnovel will try to resume the books. As you can see, there have been books resumed. Saying that none have been resumed is patently false. The reason why it's hard to resume those books is because of the reasons I stated, which is a universal problem for most (fan) translators.

    Also, if you can't find someone to take a job, how are you to make a claim of when it will be resumed? It will become a problem of overpromising. Therefore, books will just get resumed suddenly without notice because it also depends on the new translator's speed and readiness to continue resuming the translation.

    If you want official word from Webnovel, it's that they will try to find translators to continue the translations, but when that happens is in the air.

      CKtalon Got it! I just had to post what I said above coz the two of you would take eons to finish your intellectual debate. At least you made me laugh when you say....

      CKtalon If you want official word from Webnovel, it's that they will try to find translators to continue the translations, but when that happens is in the air.

      I guess I'll just go back to the main website and lessen my involvement in the forum because discussing without action, for me, is time wasted. Thanks a lot for your patience and guidance. You really earned my respect. Good luck and Godspeed to your endeavors.

      @Gothic_Temptation , Thanks for voicing things out. What you expressed in here is also what my heart and brain wants to express, ask, and rant. You are a strong person, I appreciate and respect you for that. I hope you don't get banned in the Form because IMO, the community needs you to improve.

        CKtalon
        You know its funny cuase the reason you haves stated arnt the reasons why those novels didnt get picked up
        Still seems like a webnovel only problem

          Kritiko
          No problem man
          Im not the only who voices out tho
          Lots of people do we just never gonna get noticed cuase CK is literally the only mod here

            Gothic_Temptation Well, I think there are some who wants to voice out like me, but, I always remind myself not to talk to much because you know what happens after that right? (I don't wanna get banned bro) Hahahaha!

            Well, CK is really having it hard right. There should be lots of mods because being a moderator is not an easy one, and added with the online setting, I can only imagine.

            CKtalon why cant they just pick up the novel without joining qidian. As much as qidian is good, there are better ones out there. Especially for those who want to do patreon and not deal with qidian's bullsh*t. They can just have qidian dual host it.

              SusshiRoll Because it is against the copyright of Webnovel? It harms the potential earnings of the author (as well as Webnovel)?

              We have long moved away from the situation where translator takes all (in the case of Patreon and ad-revenue) from 2-3 years ago. The authors demand a portion of the pie, because they were the ones to created the content and they know how much translators can earn translating illegally (using Patreon), which can go as much as five-digit USD values a month.

                CKtalon So how is the Spirit Stone given? Novels getting premiumed is that benefical to the author or the translator?

                  CKtalon if you want us to support the author. Why don't you just setup a patreon for the author?

                    SusshiRoll How do you ensure that there's no scam behind this matter? A unscrupulous translator can say that they set up one for the author, but doesn't send the money to the author. The author might not even know that this is happening.

                    Besides, Webnovel does deserve earning a cut of the earnings.

                    Paid Spirit Stones benefit author, translator, and Webnovel equally.

                      Reading these stuffs reminds of the Translator of Cult of the Sacred Runes, RDG who took some donations then disappeared all of a sudden. It's been a year already and this prequel of TDG has been dropped. somewhat out of topic, i suppose lol

                        Hope it is within a year bro, if not then just look for the mtl version, I'm sure comrademao will have it, if it's requested.

                          SusshiRoll most of the novels on this site are published by qidian, some of the authors even introduce themselves on these novels, they are all probably getting the standard cut for their publications. I mean some of them make bank doing this stuff, especially people like IET, he's probably one of the happiest ones, since his chapters are usually copy pasted to milk us of our SS. Anyone who Is reading SS knows what I mean.

                            Actually its pretty easy to fix that problem as the TL can just sign a contract with the author aand get the rights to TL it just like what WW,volare and other sites do
                            As ive said before WN aint special
                            It doesnthave any special needs that are different from anyone else
                            Just be honest with yourself
                            You know that WN is company thats after money and money only
                            Everything else is secondary so there is hella no way WN is gonna allow other sites to get into contracts with the authors and get TL rights

                              Gothic_Temptation So basically you are trying to say skip the middle man? That can cause trouble for both the author and translator since it is violating the publisher's copyright. The author will have more to lose on this matter if they are caught doing that. (Most authors would rather go the legitimate route then waste their efforts on a few hundred or thousand dollars a month).

                                CKtalon

                                Thats a nice crazy conclusion to jump to bro
                                Honestly are you even reading the responses that you are giving, i mean you are getting paid by qidian afterall so its obligatory for you to say this stuff

                                🤷‍♂️
