I try to read two professionally-published books in English for every Chinese webnovel I read — it does wonders for maintaining a solid sense of what a sentence looks like in natural English!
This is so true lol (I had to rehabilitate my English by reading profic, after getting too used to fantranslation syntax) so I'm so happy to see translators doing this too. XD

I really like seeing your posts! I don't think I was really aware of how rich the cnovel landscape was until then.

I'd really recommend 'read English profic, a lot' to any translator. I also find it helpful to read across different genres of profic, it's good to have a lot of styles and literary strategies to choose from.
