Isn't this the LN?

 

[zeen3]

@kobi no it's the WN

 

[Lucky]

There are other places to upload web novels... this is Mangadex after all?

 

[Twi]

Yea, the link to where you can properly read the novel is already available above.

The translator stopped the translation due to copyright thanks to yen press again. :-(

 

[grom]

i only see white pages, it is normal ?!

 

[_Vincent_]

I got white pages as well

 

[Xnot]

Only dark theme master race can read this mango masterpiece.

 

[_Vincent_]

Thanks! I can read it now. ?

 

[Hounder]

If people are wanting to put "novels" on here, we probably should get a webnovel tag added.

 

[shad12ow]

Not to be rude, but why is this here? I mean, can it really be categorized as a manga? There's Novelupdate for that, right? You can just put the same title with WN on the end of it. Just sayin.

 

[Sakaiy]

Why its working only with dark theme? Isn't that pretty weird?

 

[Final]

No, not this again. Can we at least have a separate section of the site for novels if this is gonna be a thing? A tag just isn't enough if they're gonna start flooding the recent and popular lists.

Nice, now I can read it again after being removed on the translation page, on Noveldex.
Edit: I'm not complaining. It looks fun in its own way.

I'm not really sure that this is a good idea, as in my opinion it will set a bad precedent to be hosting a novel after the translator removed it at the authors wishes.

Furthermore, it also sets a bad precedent to be hosting novels in general, because if you mirror this novel, why not start mirroring other novels? Eventually you move on to mirroring ongoing series which is a huge malus as far as the novel scene is concerned, as it ends up drawing 90% of traffic away from their own sites to an unaffiliated site. Then mangadex ends up becoming a pariah in that community.

I do see the value in preserving translations, but there was talk over on Novel Updates about a system being developed on their end for handling mirroring of translations that are no longer available due to blog deletion and the like. Therefore I feel that having mangadex also do it is in a way redundant, and while redundancy is a good thing, in this case its outside the scope of the mangadex project.

Basically, what I'm saying is "Don't let mangadex become the mangafox for novels".

As an aside, I didn't know that mangadex had a dark theme until today, so thanks for that.

Actually Very Clever to take advantage rules-hole in mangadex ?
There is no rules about web novel in there, Well this is new case in here

 

[Moodyz]

Someone remove this shit!!

 

[brykanst]
