Free-For-All Friday + Scavenger Hunt
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!
Also, I'm thinking it might be fun to do a year long c-novel scavenger hunt!
How it works is, you can suggest in the following google form an item, a trope, a scene, etc. in the box below. I'll collate them all and then depending on how many suggestions there are, create a randomized list for each person who wants to play. When you read a book (define "c-novels" as loosely as possible here) and encounter that thing on your list, check it off and put the title of the book next to it to keep track of where you found it. When you manage to check off all, just respond on any of the weekly posts that you finished it.
This is all on the honor system and you are free to rules lawyer your way into checking off stuff!

edited to add: open until 17 Jan 2025 (if we don't have 20 submissions by then, I'll keep it open for a little longer).

Not much reading has happened yet as I've been working on another holiday 'group project' with friends (Spring in Japan, here I come!!!!), and idly looking things up for Yu Xuanji's poetry.
Howeverrrr, it looks like 漂亮小瞎子也要被炮灰吗 | Must the pretty blindy be used as cannon fodder too？ by 寒雾隐 has finally completed!!!! I've had my eye on since October last year when it got recced in the weibo fragile bottoms post. It is quite bite sized at 81 chapters ranging from 2 - 4k words each, and just as potato chippy as it sounds!
Basically, the main character has gained sentience from his switched at birth trope novel, complete with a System and mission to keep the plot on track. MC is supposed to be this green tea!real son canon fodder villain, and the novel he's in features the false son of the rich family as the universally loved main character. Only problem is! The system arrived a little late in the storyline, and to its horror, realizes the mc it is bound to has somehow been blinded O: and probably is the sweetest, worstest villain for the job xD
MC is proud of his green tea skills (he has none xD) works very hard at his role (and keeps failing spectacularly). He also has low vision that will eventually degenerate into total blindness + falls sick quite often.
I look forward to digging into this one once my other missions are completed ^^
An awesome and action packed ongoing WIP is 无限副本唯一指定清道夫 (One and Only Designated Cleaner of Unlimited Flow Instances) | SIN by Philoso. The main character introduces himself as a phd holder who graduated and went to work as a crime scene cleaner. He's full of secrets and has PTSD (we currently don't know why, but he has been triggered in a conversation with the ML about his father). For obvious reasons, the setup sometimes reminds me a little bit of Viscera Cleanup Detail (youtube it!) xD
His boss recently described him with this analogy:
'Like a lion that got released into the dangerous woods. You'd think it can protect itself... and indeed it's living wild and free, fighting poisonous snakes, taking on an entire wolf pack... and at first you don't notice, but as you slowly start to remember it, looking back, you realise it was covered in injuries every day.'
I'm always excited to let this one fatten up over the week to enjoy it on weekends xD

Ohh, holiday group project? You mean trip planning?

This sounds like PRIME POTATO CHIPS! Might I even say, ngaku (arrowroot) chips!!
Viscera Cleanup Detail is a game? Interesting.
