Qidian sent DMCA notice to Patreon for all WW translators
- Edited
A far as I know QI translators are paid a fixed amount for chapter: 40-60$. Some change from ads and a % from premium. If they translate more chapters they can earn 3-4k maybe 5 k tops.
Maybe GodBrady gets more for being a good little obedient boy. This, I don't know for sure. You should ask him. Or even better, they should come clean and give an example of what they earn. I mean, what's the big secret. More money, less, it doesn't matter, I think they work for it so they surely deserve it. But I don't think the average is more than 4k. If it is I'll apologise and sing praises to QI generosity all over the internet.
I stand by my statement that the whole thing is a bit of jealousy that ”the neighbour gets more” than me kind of thing. After all Patreon has been in use for about 2 years and no one thought to sue or send DMCA's till QI.

Haha nice, none of that is right, maybe for some translators, but not many.

God Brandy does get a shilling bonus; the rate was leaked on NUF by Meh: $1000 per NUF comment. So he's shilling here for free.

Millman97 I'm sure he's worth every penny. Meh too, even if he got reprimanded by GodBrady on that thread :).
If the pay is higher that's good. I'm sure that you deserve it. As far as I'm concerned most of the translators and editors do they jobs admirably, you just have to reign in the corporate suits a little bit. They are ruining your reputation. If you are entitled to something through a contract you'll get it. You don't have to jump the gun. It creates a bad impression and leaves the fans, that know a bit about the WW - QI feud, with a bad taste in their mouths.
Debating this on a QI site or WW site is just pointless. I don't know why you people even bother to

It's the same for the other side, they think this is stupid because of QI's action, hence the best action for a casual reader is not to give a fuck and let their respective teams deal with it. I frankly don't give a single f*ck where a novel is hosted as a casual reader and it's pointless. I'd rather see them fighting over quality issues than quantity anyways
Tho I'm a little mad for Qidian because of mass releasing novels but ignoring the ones they have (coughs Novelsaga coughs)
Luta
I agree with quality over quantity to a certain point. (1 perfect chapter per year or 12 readable chapters by my standard per month.)
I am really neutral with the mass release thing, it hasn't affected me in a positive or negative way, but they should pay more attention to the "dead" novels. I am assuming it is chapters we are talking about and not new novels, cause my stance on that is completely different. I would support getting new translators for dead novels compared to mass releasing new novels. (Idk if they have done that)
Luta Novelsaga with their fan translations are going to be the end of me one day (OEM :sob:)
Neverfire7
ikr, it's pissing me off that a novel like martial gamer can get a mass release every freaking Friday but a chapter of OEM in 2 days is just a wish at this point.
KingBiBiK Talking to a person, paid by a company, about matters involving the company that pays him?
That is definitely a no-no. He just wants to tell people that Qidian pays people very well as seen in his PS
CKtalon QI is still releasing 7/week for free!
Just to point out that This statement is really false. For any particular novel, there used to be a 2 digit worth or free chapters (unless that novel has been doing it under 10 for whatever reason).
Then, they decided to Premium it with the same number of chapters release and then from a double digits of free chapters, they are still releasing 7/week for free!
Being biased is one thing, but to state it in such a manner is just....... weird......
immortal_corrupt Honestly, I said somewhere earlier in one of the posts. They messed up the psychology aspect. They released too much in the beginning and started withholding the free to 7chap/week. It used to be 7-10 chap a week before webnovel.com even came to play. They came in like drug dealers and gave double the amount for free in the beginning only to premium wall it later from addicted people.
I agree we would be happy if the premium chapters are added in addition to the usual free chap.
KingBiBiK Indeed :) but from a money standpoint, they think they will lose out allot of cash therefore they had to take in more cash to pay the over supportive translators lol
Mowuji_immortal Im on the mystical journey patreon for like 25-50 a month lmao...
