This is a community dedicated to Chinese novels and media related to these novels (e.g., audio dramas, audio books, donghua adaptations, etc.). Most of the focus will be on Chinese webnovels, but if you'd like to discuss, e.g., a Chinese SFF novel, please feel free!

Requests, news, discussions, meta, reviews, recommendations, thoughts, questions all welcome. Fanworks, your fantranslations, relevant events, all great too~

It's likely things will evolve as time passes, as the community gets more of a feel of what people wants to see, or if there's specific things that needs to be changed, so I will update this post as we go too.

Has anyone here gotten volume 1 of The Creator's Grace and/or volumes 1 and 2 of At the World's Mercy from Rosmei yet? If so, what do you think of them?

(the ETA for ones ordered via Yiggybean is sometime in May, so it will be a while until I get mine)

(As an aside, I know April Fool's is big in Japan with all sorts of fun jokes, like fake movie announcements, and sometimes trailers to fake anime, fake games, etc.

Is it as big in China? Are there funny April Fool's jokes? Do share them here!)

I finished MisVil today and posted a review on my journal:

Mistakenly Saving the Villain by Feng Yu Nie

It was definitely an interesting read but it's Heavy and deals with Heavy stuff. While I didn't always agree with the author, I appreciated a c-novel where sexual violence is treated as a violation instead of a profound proclamation of love.

This happened a week back I think, but in case you have not heard, Seven Seas has been acquired by Media Do. There has been concerns that this will mean AI translations but according to their statements, this will not happen (but their statement seems to emphasize Japanese works a lot, so who knows if this is going to change for CN novel translations):

From Media Do:
Following recent reports, we have received inquiries expressing concern that AI might be used to
translate Seven Seas manga and other works. The Company clarifies that there are absolutely no plans to
do so. Furthermore, the "MDTS" system developed by the Company is an AI assisted tool designed to
help Japanese translators manage their translated text when working on Japanese literature. It is not
intended for implementation in Seven Seas translation operations. All specific operational details will
remain compliant with the existing translation standards of Seven Seas.

[...]

Through the feedback we have received, we deeply understand the love and dedication fans have for
Seven Seas. It is truly regrettable that our previous announcement caused misunderstandings among
those who cherish Seven Seas publications. As stated above, the Company will act appropriately for the
fans and will not use AI in the translation operations of Seven Seas, so please rest assured.

Seven Seas announced today on bluesky and twitter that they're launching a label for baihe and new baihe licenses will come soon! (I'm assuming label = imprint)
