Is Reborn As The Genius Son Of The Richest Family Completed?

Just a heads up from my end that the original Chinese novel of Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family has completed its serialization. The English translation and also the comic adaptation are still currently incomplete and also delayed. Some parts of the story may only be available to readers through fan translations and even then, the fan translations may not be up to date. Readers may also have to refer to the official translations and also the adapted manhua as well. If you really want to complete read the story and get closure to the plot, then look up the original completed version of the novel or also a fully up-to-date translation of it. Knowing that there is an end to the story really made a difference for me and that was that I could then go back and re-read the start of the novel and it would feel like therapy instead of me just waiting in suspense.

The original Chinese web novel “Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family” is a completed serial, meaning the author completed the story for the original run of the serial. The confusion that may arise in this regard is that the novel being completed does not necessarily mean that the translations of the novel are completed for all languages.

If you are reading Reborn as the Genius Son of a Rich Family in English then your experience is likely to vary. Official translations are usually released slowly by the licensor and can be months apart between each volume. Fan translations on the other hand are all over the place – some translation groups are going to try and rush to keep up while others will stall for months or even cease translation altogether. Additionally there are comic and manhua adaptations currently ongoing of RMF which can take vast liberties with the story in order to complete the comic in time – including cutting out or re-arranging entire scenes. To see the current status of RMF’s translation you can check out the novel’s original platform for a ‘completed’ or ‘完结’ stamp and then look up NovelUpdates or check out the most active translation group’s blog regularly.

The novel is completed as a source, but the experience of finishing reading the novel in translation is extremely variable. While the novel itself is completed, translations may be published slowly in a licensed translation, while fan translations are published erratically and often incompletely. Even completed novel can be released as an ongoing comic or manhua adaptation that omits, rearranges, and even expands upon parts of the novel. Your best bet for checking the status of a novel currently is to check the status on the original platform where it was published (e.g. ‘completed’ or ‘完结’). You can then cross-reference on NovelUpdates or on the active translation team’s website. If you want to read the novel complete in translation without waiting for the final parts to be translated, I highly recommend searching out a complete and faithful translation of the novel originally published as a book.

A very common question – yes, the main Chinese novel ‘Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family’ has been completed by its author. This means the story had reached its conclusion and there was no abandoning of it in the middle.

Here are a few caveats, though: even if a novel is completed in Chinese, it does not necessarily mean it has been completed in every language. This also means that even in English, the official release of a novel may be late compared to the fan translation. As for manhua/manga adaptations, it is also worth noting that they may branch off in ways that are not present in the novel, or be late in their adaptation of the ending. If you are worried about whether or not a translation is finished, you can usually check for translator’s notes or for an announcement by the official license holder, and many novels (especially completed ones) will simply be labeled as “completed” on the platform where they were originally published. I followed a translation team for a long time, and then switched to the completed Chinese text because it was faster and less of a guessing game than waiting for updates on a translation that seemed to be stalled for months. It felt good to finally put down a book that I had been lugging around for months.
