Chinese Novels

hi all! i'm ada or yueliangist, and i'm rolling in from the baihe media comm (though i'm still learning how dw works so forgive me lol)

i've been learning chinese for 4 years now, though my abilities are...in any case, i was instantly hooked after watching the Zhen Hun liveaction and my initial goal for learning chinese was being able to read priest! i only started reading native stuff this year (2024) so i don't have a lot of stuff under my belt, even though i've read a few translations over the past few years

1. What are you currently reading?
currently i am reading 撒野 by 巫哲 and 一世清欢 by 无心谈笑 (though that last one not really actively)

2. What is your favourite cnovel?
i don't have one yet, as i feel i haven't read enough to really decide, but i really liked reading the TL for I Can Do It

3. Do you have a favourite author?
same as question 2, i have not read enough to decide ;w;

4. What are your other hobbies and interests?
i love all types of arts and textile crafts such as weaving and spinning yarn. other interests are baihe (as is obvious) and translation: i hope to help open up the baihe world more to others by learning to translate videos/audiodramas/webnovels (preferably webnovels). it has been my wish to learn to translate for ages, but i have been way too intimidated due to my skill level sighs,,

5. What do you hope to see from this community?
i hope to get translation resources and possibly cnovel recs!
