Release that witch (The Novel) is dead. IDK about manhua.

Spoiler

Resume of yesterday.

Folks,sorry to break it to you all,but Release that Witch has just been banned by qidian(most likely at the instigation of the Chinese government) today. We don’t know what’s going on. The link to it is dead, and there is currently a massive crackdown on web novels by the Chinese government at the moment. This most likely means that the novel needs to be edited in order to suit the Chinese government’s tastes, under review in some form or that it is permanently banned.

To sum the points in the twitter thread from etvolare, an experienced translator working with wuxiaworld:
- Nothing sexual below the neck. No sexy daydreams, attempted sex scenes, no allusions to any of it.
- No government or military corruption, or anything that casts the government in a bad light.
- No military related romance due to over-exaggeration. Anything military at all isn't welcome right now, actually, but they're not banning EVERYTHING military.
- No danmei/Yaoi
- Horror and military themes are essentially unwelcome, but not straight out banned.

UPDATE: Author just posted on Weibo saying that the book was banned due to a “regular investigation”,and that he will continue writing even when the book’s banned, hopefully posting all of the chapters when the ban is lifted.

Good News: Release that Witch is back in Qidian. It only took them a day to investigate it lol. Well not surprising really. Qidian can't afford to ban this Novel coz of it's popularity and it's bringing them money from the readers.

Edit: Here is the list of Authors that have been banned due to violations in their Novels. https://www.qidian.com/news/detail/422817457

As of June 4, Release that witch has officially ended. This Novel had such wasted potential. That ending sucked

Why the novel must end abruptly...

 

[JammeyD]

The man, the myth, the legend that is binary-chan. Coming down to save us weebs and boldly go where groups abruptly leave with no warning.

Damn, don't bother with this series. Like most Chinese works it was censored and the powers that be forced the author to make an ending that follows strict current governmental policy of one man one woman and no magic happy end.

Mod Note: Please use spoiler tags when talking about chapter-specific or future events.

@watchesyoupee
No no no don't encourage anyone to stop. Bad pee voyeur, bad!

As far as I'm aware, the novel has in fact not ended. I just read 1449. More come out most every day. I also have no idea what censorship you speak of?

And the one girl/no harem thing... is enforced by the author's wife LOL. So I'm not sure where you are getting this info, but I think you've been mislead somewhere along the way.

 

[sinisempi]

@watchesyoupee qidian being censored was a coincidence since the novel was moving towards an end months before that. once you introduce stuff like

Spoiler

flying island aircraft carriers

it's pretty hard to write anything except "then roland bombed all his enemies until they helplessly died the end". it wouldn't have hurt to have an epilogue but if all the characters have an obvious end that's a bit tedious.
