This is an old ongoing issue. So better don't bother about it. Webnovel's existence is actually extremely good for WW on the condition that it still gets good novels later to translate. WW has introduced their own patreon system and VIP system. They are risking money to develop their site and facilities it can offer. So tensions and competition are beneficial for growth. I can envision a future of Webnovel.com (a haven for Qidian novels and Original English novels) and WW (a haven of most other Chinese novels, Korean and maybe even Original English in the future) growing and competing.

Anyway, this move seems not to benefit webnovel.com anyway in the short term financially same with HJC. So why bother antagonizing people or making the "misconception" around the authorization grew and make people rally against @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL. Why grew haters when we gain little to nothing now. I highly doubt any ad revenue comes from it now.
If the reason is people wants to read it here on the platform, then I don't know. Many might prefer that, I don't think it is a big deal considering these novels are not popular here or people tend to ignore their existence. Webnovel's growth rate is phenomenal, so why bother now with a couple of unfinished novels.
I don't care about this honestly.
