Comments of chapter undefined of Grasping the Evil

i think this novel gonna be one of the abandoned novels. this is so sad

Just in case people are waiting for updates remember that it says "probably around December" and not "probably around December 2020" so it might be December 2021 or if we're unlucky December 2025!

Ever since Grasping Evil moved to webnovel it's gone downhill. First of all we got a 1 month delay when it moved platform. Then in consideration of inconvenience suffered by readers they then put 1 month's worth of chapters we had already read behind a paywall giving us a further month's wait. Now it looks like we have another month long wait while they get privilege chapter stock up or some other unspecified reason. Considering that on Veratales it got to chapter 395 with daily updates and no major delays and now on webnovel to get an additional 36 chapters we have got 3 months of delays it seems something isn't right...

oh for the love of god, don't drop this too.

as an ancestor in webnovel formerly known as qidian the dumbest move authors can make is enter this ponzi scheme in disguise Webnovel. the ruiner of good books in my opinion, delay after delay and nothing to show for it. i had to wait to catch up to Veratales on Webnovel only to be blocked again because of haitus. not cool

When this happened with the past couple of chapters, I thought it was a mistake. However, now that this has happened again, I see that additional half-finished chapters are being added in an attempt to convince people to purchase more chapters. This is the only reason I can think of posting half-finished chapters. I'm glad I realize this now.

I think a 5 month break is a bit far fetched, especially when it was said the chapter next will be October, then December and there's no info as to why there aren't any new chapters

so this is dead then, it was so much better on veratales ;/

Is it so hard to let us know what's up with the trad? Do you people realise that we PAID for that? And that we are entitled to the full thing? It's fucking amazing that free fan-trad are more reliable than paid translators, god damn clown.

That's thing I find bizarre with webnovel's business decisions. Being realistic to get the novel from veratales they must have paid quite a bit of money to the TL to transfer it over as even if original version is Qidian's the translations aren't so often quite a big fee is involved for previously translated chapters. So we end up in a situation where either webnovel has decided it's not profitable in which case earlier investment was wasted or the TL has quit/been fired. If the TL has quit I wonder if they got sold promises of income that don't materialise although it would all be confidential.

I've got to the point where I just assume that every novel not updated for 1 week has been permanently dropped. My advice is just add it to your library and then ignore it for a few weeks and then check your library for chapter updates. Pretty much everything I read here has been dropped without any notification. Webnovel is pretty much trying to transition into original novels as they don't have to pay licensing or translation fees and to be honest I don't really see them resuming any translations they've dropped.

For gods sake just give us a date...😭

Typical webnovel being scammy artists they are. Disgusting.

*sigh* another novel I really liked seems to be well and truly dead

Has anyone noticed if the author's note was updated to say translation would resume in December? It hasn't always said that right?

Is this novel dead?

Give chapter pls.

The wait is killing me...

Chapters have apparantly been put on hold to work on finishing the later chapters fully but we will get new chapter before the end of the month.
