Cuttlefish That Loves Diving
Guys, I've got a bad news coming from china. It appears that some paragraphs in some chapters got deleted, causing the story lost its meaning. Author was angry about it and didn't know what happened. I suspect those paragraphs got deleted because how cencorship works in china So I'm afraid to inform you that starting from vol 5. The quality of this novel will probably go downhill if the paragraphs containing gore keep getting deleted
There is a crackdown in China on "undesirable content." That definition is vague, which makes platforms like Qidian unable to know what actually constitutes as undesirable by the government. There are guidelines, but it's not sufficient to cover all possible ideas so many authors come up with. So to protect itself and the author from being rounded up by the police, it uses an automated bot to flag and censor sensitive terms, in this case some mention of a sacrifice. Just 3.5 lines or so. The point about the author not being able to carry on is that there's a risk of the government banning the book because of the occult elements. Personally think it's a not a big deal for translations in terms of the censorship. But it might be bad if his book gets banned in China.
