Flupser cut that copypasta a little short. The whole thing was "This story was put on hiatus on March 2016. The author's contract with SUMMERZOO ended in Sept 2017 and she has since founded her own studio. Until she is able to get the rights back to Chang Ge Xing (and Zi Bu Yu), she won't continue publishing it, but she has promised and reassured that it lives on somehow."
I wonder if one or both sides could have avoided this with a little compromise, or if one or both sides were just unwilling to budge and come to an understanding that would still benefit them both instead of leaving both hanging for years.
