Is Tales of Demons and Gods still ongoing?

Yes. On 29 August 2026, Kuaikan’s authorized page for 妖神记 marked the manhua 连载中, meaning ongoing, and listed Wednesday and Saturday updates. An English edition pausing does not mean the Chinese comic has ended.

The Wednesday-and-Saturday schedule can be interrupted by holidays, production changes or publisher notices. It describes the release pattern at the verification date, not a guarantee that every week will bring two new story chapters.

The names all point to the same manhua

The original Chinese title is 妖神记. Official English catalogues use Tales of Demons and Gods, while INKR also records Yao Shen Ji and Yaoshenji as other names. Those romanizations are search aids, not sequels. A reader who encounters them in a library record or publisher credit is looking at the same core comic adaptation.

Taxue Comics, rendered 踏雪动漫 on the Chinese listings, is the consistent comic credit across Kuaikan and WebNovel. INKR credits Ruohong Culture as publisher and Taxue Comics for art. Matching the Chinese title and studio is safer than trusting a cropped cover or a translated character spelling.

Are the English editions still updating?

WebNovel’s English comic is credited to Taxue Comics. On 29 August 2026, it listed 929 entries and still displayed “Update Mon Wed” in its synopsis. But its newest catalogue release was about ten months old. Do not rely on that schedule line if you are expecting two new English releases each week.

INKR’s licensed catalogue also had an old update date at that check: its page said two years earlier. Its chapter labels include whole and half numbers, such as 450 and 450.5. The available translation is an option for English readers, but neither catalogue showed a dependable schedule matching China’s releases.

Why the chapter numbers do not match

The largest trap in this search is assuming that the highest displayed number must be the furthest point in the story. Kuaikan distinguishes total pieces of content from main-story entries. Bilibili reports another total. WebNovel numbers its English entries sequentially, while INKR visibly divides some material into whole and .5 chapters. A notice, split installment or bonus item can change a platform total without moving the narrative by one comparable Chinese chapter.

For that reason, “chapter 929 on WebNovel” cannot be converted into “chapter 929 in China,” and INKR chapter 450.5 is not a universal midpoint. If you switch legal services, compare chapter titles and the last scene you read. Do not jump by matching the number alone. This also explains why an apparently lower Chinese main-story count does not mean the English edition has overtaken the source.

Manhua status and novel status are different questions

Tales of Demons and Gods began as a novel by Mad Snail and has comic and animated adaptations. WebNovel maintains separate pages for the prose work and the Taxue Comics manhua. Their chapter counts, schedules and completion labels are independent. A quiet period on the novel page is not evidence that the art team has cancelled the comic, just as a new comic installment does not guarantee a new prose chapter.

The distinction is easy to miss in a search result that leaves out “novel” or “manhua.” Check the format before trusting a completed or ongoing badge. The comic’s progress also does not establish when the novel will end.

Where to read legally

For Simplified Chinese, begin with the official Kuaikan or Bilibili Manga catalogue. For English, WebNovel and INKR carry licensed editions. Choose between them by checking how far the available catalogue reaches, what the current unlock price is and whether the service operates in your territory. A legal English listing can be behind without becoming illegitimate; lag and licensing are separate issues.

Has an ending date been announced?

No official final chapter, completion date or cancellation had been announced at the 29 August 2026 check. Speculation that the comic has passed the novel or will change the ending is not an ending announcement.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tales of Demons and Gods manhua finished?

No. Kuaikan marked the authorized Chinese manhua as ongoing when checked on 29 August 2026. No official completion announcement was found.

Is the English manhua still updating?

A regular English update schedule is not confirmed. On 29 August 2026, WebNovel’s latest catalogue release was about ten months old despite its Monday-and-Wednesday schedule line; INKR placed its last update two years earlier. Check for newer dated chapters before paying for access.

Why does WebNovel show more chapters than Kuaikan?

The services count and split entries differently. A higher platform number is not evidence that the English story has passed the Chinese release. Compare titles and scenes when changing editions.

Are Yao Shen Ji and Tales of Demons and Gods the same?

Yes. Yao Shen Ji and Yaoshenji romanize the Chinese title 妖神记; official English services use Tales of Demons and Gods.

Is the manhua the same as the novel?

No. The manhua is a comic adaptation with its own production and release record. The original prose novel has a separate official WebNovel catalogue.
