Hi! I'm Nemain, currently reading Mo Du/Silent Reading (and about 7 others scattered around the internet that I refresh each week to see if they've updated...).

I read a lot of webnovels, and I can't remember if I have a favourite, but five of the completely translated ones that I've read recently and really like are Mr Melancholy Wants to Live a Peaceful Life, Sendoff, Strong Winds Return Home, Suddenly Trending, and After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General .

There are... so many more that I've read and enjoyed, but I'll leave it at five in the hopes of not writing an entire essay...

I also enjoy watching cdrama (mainly with friends) and I write fanfic on Ao3 (also a lot of Chinese media recently haha).

Thanks for setting this community Geraineon!

Welcome to the community~ Glad to have you!

Ohh, Strong Winds Returns Home is on my TBR list. I enjoyed Mr. Melancholy Wants to Live a Peaceful Life too. Cyan Wings has an interesting take on genres/tropes. I just took a look at After Being Force to Marry the Evil Star General and I think I started that some time ago before it was finished and never finished it. I guess I know what else I'll be reading soon.

... the pain of reading not completely translated novels, ahaha (I am still waiting for more Panguan, but I am happy waiting because the TL quality is very good)

There are so many excellent novels and so many talented translators! If you ever want recs i am always here, i am always happy to talk about webnovels (much to the detriment of my sleep schedule, day job, and fic...)

Hahaha that's me too. Instead of working, here I am, launching a cnovel comm, replying to comments!

And sure, will def ask once I clear some of the titles on my list! My plan after sendoff is either Happy Doomsday or Cultivation in C. Then, I guess we shall see what I am in the mood for at that time~

I liked Mr Melancholy Wants to Live a Peaceful Life a lot -- actually I've liked everything I've read by Cyan Wings so far. I like the way she plays with tropes. Sendoff took me a little longer to get into than the other Nian Zhong novels I've read but I thought the worldbuilding was really cool, once I figured out what was going on

Mo Du is my faaaaaaavorite I hope you love it as much as I did! I haven't moved on, emotionally—

[nemainofthewater]

I'm currently on the second case and I really am enjoying it! I think Tao Ran is my favourite, and I am lowkey terrified of something bad happening to him....

[lunarriviera]

we ALL love Tao Ran so much! i'm literally the Rosa Diaz meme about him:

oh hai!! this is unforth from Tumblr. I've been having so much fun with your last name polls, I'm happy to see you here!

[nemainofthewater]

hai!!!!! Thank you for voting in them, they've been so fun. In the spirit of this community, I have been doing my part to add cnovel characters! I hope you stick around for the other polls that i'll be running <3

*sneaks into this conversation thread*

Not sure what polls these are, but feel free to do them here too!

[nemainofthewater]

Over the past three months I’ve been running a series of Best Character with [X] surname polls on tumblr. The last results for them are tomorrow, but going forward I’ll be doing weekly themed polls that I’m happy to link to here!
