Release that Witch (放开那个女巫 fangkai nage nüwu) is a fantasy story series created by Er Mu (二目).
The first chapter was released on March 30, 2016. The last chapter was released on June 4, 2019. There are a total of 1498 chapters and 5 volumes. Its English translation has also been completed. This is one of the best web novels I have read. The plot is good and moved at a great pace. Even though the details are done for each character, even some of the main characters are lacking, the plot and the detailing of the whole world and philosophy behind the civilization are great.
