When the updates stop and the Privileged Chapters (slowly) all become available, it means the novel has been dropped because it's not profitable enough. The translator is contacted by management saying they will no longer pay to have new chapters translated. There will be no message to the readers, not in the form of a chapter note nor on the forum. It will simply stop and that's all. They still have the translation rights, so nobody will touch it. And if you don't like this, too bad.

They will continue to release 2+ new translated novels every week, flooding the market. Any novel that does not generate enough profit will be dropped. It doesn't matter if it's 100 or 1000 chapters into the translated story. There is zero commitment to finish a project that has been started. This will continue until the online readers are fed up and don't bother starting a story until it's completely finished, thus killing the web novel format.

Thx for the info, Senior Daoist Belkar. I hope that one day this curse will be gone. On a side note, should this discussion be turned into something regarding the voting system instead?

    You can do that, but I think there probably already are a few posts like that.
    Too be honest, most (like over 95%) of the forum posts are ignored by the webnovel officials.
    It's really only used by readers to discuss amongst ourselves and to vent our frustrations.

        Belkar Please! 95% of WN staff shouldn't even speak English at all.

            There's a trial novel i really love... but unfortunately it didn't get pick... is there no way for me to read those novel?

              wayan88 You could figure out the original chinese title for the novel and read it on a machine translation (mtl) site.

                  Taming Master was great and they stopped it when it was getting extremely exciting. Every site I could find it on stop at the same chapter

                    Krasvania

                    If its every site chances are high the translation has caught up to the RAWs or the author put out a blanket cease and desist order on their work.

                        I m legendary boss and Universe ultimate boss also stopped updating

                          Belkar Senior, may I ask if the community or the admins hate Apocalypse novels since there was a pretty good pick only a year ago called Rebirth: City Besieged by Zombies. It was like I Have A Mansion In The Post-Apocalyptic World except without the tech part. Yet there were many people putting diss reviews on it though most of them were authors of small novels that weren't popular and likely jealous. But such a good novel wasn't selected to be voted and was thrown away. I've seen other apocalyptic style novels on Webnovel but they aren't official works. Please guide me.

                                  I hate to once again be the bearer of bad news, but those "Trial Reads" too are about money.
                                  Positive reviews and popularity might have some influence, but the biggest factor are the donations.
                                  If you want to read an apocalyptic novel though, try reading "God and Devil World".
                                  It's been completely translated and I thought it was a fun read.
                                  You'll have to look elsewhere for the first 200 or so chapters, because Webnovel is not hosting them.
                                  They just labelled chapter 193 as chapter 1 and pretend they have the full version.
                                  Just google the title and you can easily find translations of the earlier chapters.
                                  It starts with, "Chapter 1: Special Summon Skeleton".

                                      ×ow I hate this part because I'm sure I'm not the only one that can't sleep waiting to know the ending of the story. I think they should stop bring in New till all is completed. That why I can rest. Lol

                                        Also, the novel I mentioned previously can't be found on the mtl sites that I know of. BTW I mean 'Rebirth: City Besieged by Zombies

                                          The Anarchic Consort is not updating as well. A pity really! Less than 500 or do chapters are left

                                            Belkar
                                            Thanks, for your valuable reply about the novel and here I always thought that the novel was pretty messed up as some of chapters didn't made sense to me because of these chapters.
                                            Thanks.
