Chinese Novels

Thanks for setting up this community; glad to have more novels-focused spaces!

1. What are you currently reading? Currently reading 《默读》/Silent Reading, also listening to the audiodrama as I go

2. What is your favourite cnovel? The one that's made itself most at home in my brain is still probably 《烈火浇愁》/ Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire, but ask me again in a few months when I've made it through more of my to-read list...

3. Do you have a favourite author? I don't know if I've read enough cnovels to have a solid favourite. I do really love Priest's writing, but mostly I'm just after intricate plots and elegant prose.

4. What are your other hobbies and interests? Outside of fandom I'm usually participating in weird niche sports and/or travelling; within fandom I used to write fic and would like to get back to it, and more recently have been occasionally dabbling in translation for an audience of me, alone.

5. What do you hope to see from this community? Books! Recommendations, discussions, seeing what people are reading, and hopefully more novels that are perhaps less well-known in the other fandom spaces I hang out in
