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

The audio drama for Mo Du is so good!!

I haven't made my way through all of priest novels so maybe at some point I'll get to Lie Huo Jiao Chou

Wanting to know/talk about lesser known titles is definitely a theme here~

Ah I love the Modu audiodrama, I imprinted so hard on LWZ and the romance because of it 😭 The songs also have me by the throat.

Yeah I'm not usually into audio media but this one came very highly recommended so I thought I'd give it a try as a way to catch back up to where I left off reading a while ago and remember what happened... and it's so good!

I'm only on S2 so the only song so far has been 以沫 but yeah it floored me the first time I heard it, and the way they incorporate it into some of the scenes is always an emotional gut-punch. Can't wait to see what else is coming!
