Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

I beta for this guy: https://fireflies1918.wordpress.com and he just sent me the next chapter, so I'm pretty stoked. Historical mlm with tragic endings you can see coming from a mile off. I love them to pieces.

Meanwhile I'm still on Smiling Proud Wanderer! Vol 2, now. The Six Peach Guys are something else! It's my ereader-at-night book, so I'm not zipping through it. Daytime reading got put on hold because I got sucked into You Are My Glory and Be My Princess. XD

That would be fun! I think it would be the first time I read the book before watching the drama.

Slightly cryptic but: remember when I was doubting Ning Yuan's promise that she would try to finish the historical cyberpunk baihe novel by the end of the month?

I should not have doubted. In her latest chapter, she does a callback all the way to Chapter 9, about a thing that I was pretty sure she'd forgotten about. I should just accept that she knows what she's doing.

I need to climb out of the shoujosei manga + light novel hole I got trapped in... My Chinese has degraded over the last months of avoiding c-language things but apparently it still comes in handy when I accidentally read an ongoing manga and the Chinese translation is ahead of the English lol. On the flip side it's been interesting, reading different kinds of translations.

Incidentally it looks like 7S is gonna start releasing English translations of Twelve Kingdoms in July 2025, which seems appropriately shoujosei-adjacent enough for future!me.

Yeah I was surprised to hear the announcement! But at least there are other translations in existence haha

Some thoughts after listening to recent podcasts that Anton Hur guested on:

1. https://bsky.app/profile/antonhur.com/post/3lbokjpwsms2o I'd love to see more cnovels pitched to other publishers, although it does sounds like a fair amount of work for the translator.

2. https://bsky.app/profile/antonhur.com/post/3lbubg5jpkk26 Lol, they talked about translating Korean webnovels at the end and he said they're not paid enough for it, but also that there's less of them (~10?) at the calibre required. Which is in stark contrast to the Chinese (and Japanese?) translated webnovel scene. Still curious about the pay gap, although I'm not expecting answers.
