Theatriks You are right, I'm little bit too much. Thanks for your suggestions.

"It means we didn't lie or hide anything from you."
You didn't show anything for it either. The SS system was supposed to make translators money too, from what i gather. They haven't gotten anything yet.
Also, the one month notice period is to ensure that there aren't any problems before the new team takes over the old one's work. Kurazy already gave you enough chapters to last for a month. What more do you want from him? A lap dance? His first-born child? :unamused:

In my country there are many book witth a few version of transalations . If I would translatebook and don't sell my translations you can do anything with it even if i publish it in website you don't have right to steal it and claim that its yours .

Also, dude, seriously. He's using the name "Kurazy" for a reason (privacy). Calling him "Josh" every time you answer him totally defeats the purpose. How can you not realize something that simple?
There's a reason all the TLs and EDs use pseudonames, be it WW, QI or GT. Respect that.

Thank you for addressing what I said to the extent that you felt comfortable with and not the entire reply I gave you. I noticed you didn't address a few key points. I hope you do spend some time to answer those crucial elements.

I'm sorry but did you read and understand what I said previously? Because, frankly, some of your replies have misunderstood and strayed far from anything I said.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL In your Patreon, there were many advanced chapters available for purchase. The chapters on Webnovel.com (who owns the rights on both original titles and translations) remained far behind. If those chapters could not be defined as "advanced chapters", what else are?

KurazyTolanzuraytor Yes, we were told it was temporary until advanced chapters were brought in-house, but can you honestly call a cut of release rate advanced chapters

I was talking about how advanced became premium with a lower release, and it's pretty clear in that line.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Based on the agreement that we signed, you agreed with what we offered at that time, right? It means you accepted that offer; and there was no coercion at all. In that case, whatever we offered to others, it doesn't really matter with your deal. You agreed to a flat rate and later, you are complaining about it one year later. That is what is unprofessional.

When did I ever complain one year later in my post? I simply said it's not worth my time any longer. Do you understand what the word complain means? Complaining would be something along the lines of saying "They're too cheap and aren't paying me enough." All my post said was that I was unhappy and didn't value the pay any longer, so i sought my own way out.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL My concern is that you should inform us earlier, at least earlier than 1 day. It doesn't really matter with how many chapters you have in stock because all the chapters in stock have been paid. There is nothing about stockpiles in our agreement, am I right? The clause requires translators to provide 30 days notice. If you really wished to end well, you could have easily let us know in advance, and post a decent announcement to all readers, but not something in this thread.

My announcement was factual and spoke nothing that was in any way harmful to QI. I simply stated my reasons for wanting to move on.
Besides that, I've said that I've dropped it, but that doesn't mean I can't do those 20 chapters if you want me to. It's just an announcement that formally notifies everyone of my departure.
All you had to do was say, "The stockpile isn't enough, please do the 20 chapters as agreed upon before leaving."
By the way, if you want, I can still do it now. Feel free to let me know if you require any further chapters as per the contract, I promise the quality will be as usual because I take my work and reputation seriously.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Now, let's talk about the "good will". If tens of thousands of dollars that you earned (remember we didn't get even a cent of it, while still paying a flat rate for each of those chapters at the same time) over the past year could not be called "good will", then what is?

If you doubted our goodwill, why didn't you refuse our deal prior to us taking down all advanced chapters on Patreon after the in-house system was set up?

In my opinion, goodwill is something done without any extra motives. But, you're right, I did receive a good sum of money which I've never denied. All I was saying is, don't paint yourself to be kind and pitiful while throwing mud all over me when you had something to gain from it.

now i'm done liking all your replies except the BITTER ex-GF webnovel..

PS: i have popcorn here.

Come on @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL just let the guy leave in peace. You talk about him being a gentleman and yet you behave like an immature 12 year old. Even if I agreed he was not behaving in an appropriate manner, you still should not stoop down and fight on his level. However, I do agree with his POV and here is why. He has provided quality translations all the way and not once said anything about not getting what he deserves, especially since he is translating one of the most popular novels on this site. Of course he wouldn't feel like he is getting paid fairly. You had the chance to finally play the honourable man and give thanks for his hard work and effort over the past 700+ chapters he has translated, and thus put a quiet dampener on this issue, and maybe raise it in private with him so it would be easier to sort out the issue and get him to take back issues which you think are not completely reflective of the situation, but noooooo, you had to open that big fat mouth and throw shit at a person's turned back. Unprofessional from a lenient point of view, and disgusting and abhorrent from a reader's perspective. And @CKtalon , I used to be a huge fan of you because you seemed like a chill guy and consistently pumped out quality translations, but don't be a prick. As a translator for Webnovel, you are the bridge between the 2 parties and could have provided an objective view and thus resolved this issue, but you just had to suck the boss off and gang up on a fellow translator. Lost most of my respect for you, and I truly hope that this isn't what you are actually like, and maybe that somehow, its a long day or Webnovel are requesting you to help out or something, because god forbid you are doing this out of your own volition or wish to suck up, I would hate you, because someone has done this to me before, and it stung like hell and I never trusted people the same again.
Analogy: An alchemist, thinking himself too unskilled to join the Alchemist guild, seeks to join a Sect instead. Over time, the sect provides him resources, and the alchemist still continues to hone his skills, seeking to join the alchemist guild as it is his ultimate goal. By the time his alchemist skills are at a high enough stage, a conflict breaks out between the guild and the sect, putting the alchemist in a dilemma. Unwilling to give up on his dream, the alchemist secretly joins the Alchemist guild, unwilling to let the sect find out as he is indebted to them and wishes to continue to help them. While the war dies down over time, the guild and the sect are still on bad terms. Finally, the alchemist sees and opportunity, and wishes to leave the sect and join the guild. Just before he leaves, he concocts a large batch of pills for the sect, so that the sect still has some resources while searching for a different alchemist. While he leaves, he writes a paper on how he is leaving for the guild because it has always been his dream and that the sect simply wasn't providing him enough resources. However, just as he walks through the door to a new life, the sect announces that he is guilty, while the sect is innocent. It tries to use sophistry and paints the alchemist in a bad light. The alchemist argues back, and as common cultivators see this, they try to support him, but the sect refuses to give in in order to save FACE. The alchemist, however, does not suspect another alchemist, who worked together with him in the sect, to point his finger at him and start accusing him of crimes against the sect. Sounds familiar? Yes, because our dear Webnovel, is the embodiment of the very sects our awesome face-slapping MCs face-slap, while the accusing alchemist is dumped by the sect to plead for forgiveness from our MC, or tries to murder our MC and gets murdered in return, or enviously watches on filled with regret as the leaving alchemist ascends to greatness with our MC. So please @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL and @CKtalon , stop this embarrassment, and give in slightly, and so will @KurazyTolanzuraytor will as well. Good night
