LIVSY I started to read your novel, it is very good. Are you still updating on a monthly basis? I don't like to watch tv either....definitely I prefer to read.

          ATCkit Agreed. Its not about original vs translation. Its that any author from any country may "drop" their book. I am pretty sure the two mentioned are just examples as opposed to an exhaustive list of "original" novels that have been dropped or are on long hiatus.

            I look at other books from the author if he has already abandoned storys its a no go.
            Then if there is no update on a novel for 1week to 1month without authors notice i drop it, because it shows the author doesn't care enough. I mean its just 1 sentence "hey i can't update for the next days/weeks/month's " and then you as a reader know whats happening and you can wait. I have no problems waiting for months if i know he will be back but without that notice i will just add them to my drop list and than this story is dead even if it restarts 2 months later
            In addition every translated novel look in novelupdate how many chapters they have
            And when they have over 1000 chapters and don't at least update daily or every two days i drop them because with only 1 or 2 chapters a week it would be 10-20 years until completion and many novels have much more than 1k chapters.

            well I go for translations that are already completed. Better this way for me i guess.

              one_chance I tried this a few years ago but there were too few completed novels. Maybe I should try that again as there should be more completed novels now. Spare my poor heart the pain of yet another great novel being dropped. At least for this site.

              Just in case anyone else is concerned about dropped novels, there is a list that you can check to see if a novel is dropped before you start reading it: https://forum.webnovel.com/d/25983-a-list-of-dropped-translated-qidian-novels/243. Very kindly updated by @Rocketduh. Please note it does not include original novels and it is not exhaustive as its probably pretty hard for us non-official members to manually check all the novels to check their actual status.

                  You can check under the completed novels tag to find good stories. There should be plenty now, especially under the romance genre, I believe.
