Vanhellsing Mate... even China doesn't censor country names, cities or famous buildings of other countries. People in China doesn't think that White House is called 'Rainbow Mansion'... So if you find China's censorship extreme, then what do you say when a translator censors what even China doesn't bother to censor? Bonkers beyond saving? The novels already come to us after being censored in China, but you think a translator censoring it even further isn't worse? Haha... What is even your point? So are you saying that since everything is censored to hell by China, it wouldn't matter if it was further censored to oblivion by the translators?

Also author doesn't even read the english chapters. We do... Do you think author has any idea? Do you think author checks english forums? No... So why would he care? Even if he is earning a bit of money from us, it's a pittance compared to what he earns from the Chinese audiance. So there is nothing in it for him to be overly involved...

N0xiety You are right. This novel was already censored by Chinese censorship. There is no need censor more. The Translator should translate what's written. And I really don't know what's so wrong saying USA and China.

notsane I think I know what's up. The translator obviously has North Korea in mind when translating, so we shouldn't mention the UA. Of course if American white supremacist groups read it, we gotta censor out negative American history and positive foreign history. Let's just obfuscate han too, just in case. We don't want to remind them of that trillion dollar debt. Oh, we need to keep our kindergartners in mind too, so let's get rid of some of the war bits.

I'm kinda offended that the translator thinks that's the target audience.

Give us some enlighment.

N0xiety i dont read it yet.

Is it not fixed yet? Even now?

N0xiety well for now we have to wait it seems

YouKnowWhat Well, even if we wait i don't think the translator is going to change what he has censored so far. There has been no changes to the earlier chapters, so for consistency sake i'm guessing the translator will continue the censor he has done so far. It's really annoying, but i can deal with it if no 'new' censor is done to the novel. I use an app to auto correct words that the translator censored from before.

If a translator wants to remove offensive parts of a novel why not just write their own novel.

N0xiety With the amount of times you mentioned it, I feel that u started this post just to promote the app))

Sythcake I feel like you are one of those conspiracy theorists that believe US government is hiding aliens from us ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

Cytric As you can see, nope...

AreYouTheEye you seem pretty offended about anything, you called her a brat and then immediately afterwards say 'your never offended about anything' yet then go on a rant about how OFFENDED you are. some people should think before they type. and then you rant about respect? you called her a brat for stating her opinion? thats an epitome of an offended person. if your so offended by something instead of bitching about it online, you could, idk.. maybe just walk away? open a new tab? its not like were here forcing you to be offended! I agree that if the author supports it it should be applicable, but that does not excuse you for being a cunt

Wow, Qidian usually censor some scenes (due to the new law in china, though we are not from China and this is online...I don't know why it should be censored here)
and now, the translator is a complete sht?
Dropped.

Is TL deaf ???
Why sh/he respon??

At least give us your logic behind your cencor.
If your logic is not to ofdend people tjen do it properly.
And not offend some race/religion/and minority.

If can not then juat translate it as it is.

And blame the content to author.

Damn.
I wait long enough.
And not respone at all.

LeechesOfSoul
do not expect a good reason or good logic from qidian, they will either ignore or silence you.
most likely this is a company policy in attempt to not rouse any bad publication.

N0xiety Claiming me to be a “conspiracy theorist” is just as much of a lie as the moon landing.. I mean, how could muricans land on something that doesn’t even exist?

Honestly, this novel was in my pending list before this. But now that I've read about all the shenanigans the translator has been up to, I've decided to drop it and express my extreme confusion as a fellow translator (of another novel not on qidian) If you want to censor it/find it offensive, why the hell did you read it/pick this up in the first place? its like finding something repulsive but still using it because, what? I honestly can't comprehend? Cutting out bits of text because you cant bring the meaning across and rephrasing it, no issues. Cutting out bits of text because it's irrelevant and you can't translate it. I can tolerate. Cutting out half of the fucking chapter just because? wtf? you're undermining the author's efforts and it's really reaaaaaally rude. TY to N0xiety for creating this thread and telling people about it
partially disappointed and partially unsurprised by qidian's lack of action
