I think it tracked my novel only when it was still on the Royal Road.

It used to be simply chronological, it simply tracked the latest updates for a lot of novels across the several sites. It had ratings, and perhaps even an algorithm of its own, but it was entirely self-contained. If someone rated and followed your story on their site, it helped on their site, but if they found out, it is on the Royal Road; they followed it there instead and the Novelupdates no longer had data to feed to their algorithm.

I think they stopped tracking the western novels altogether.

Huh? I thought western novels were not allowed? only eastern translations?

It's strange, honestly.

I think the Novel Updates are now used to track the updates of the Asian web novels translations exclusively.

It doesn't ban them, it just doesn't track them. You couldn't tell when the Western web novels updates from their webpage anymore.

It links to the Scribble Hub as this side thing, those are local novels (here on SH), but all actual novel updates are all Asian novels (translations) posted elsewhere.
