I finished vol. 3 of the Global Examination manhua in Chinese and it's kinda killing me that I can't just keep going (but there are only 3 print volumes).

I've got some non-Chinese novels up next in my TBR (I keep rearranging things) but I'll probably be reading TGCF manhua in Chinese starting soon. My next-up novel read is Solo Leveling vol. 4, so I'm still mostly in Korea for novels.

Manhua or novels, they are all reading~!

Only 3 print volume... will there be more?

idk but probably? Book 3 only came out a few months ago, but I haven't seen pre-orders for vol 4 yet. There's definitely WAY more of the manhua, I've read past what vol. 3 covers even before Bilibili shut down. Unfortunately, the main place I could affordably order print copies from has shut down/disappeared, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do going forward, sigh. The other place I've ordered from previously, it now costs $40 to ship ONE VOLUME. It's insane. I can't afford $60 per book, sigh. I have a work-around for TGCF vol. 6 but everything else I'm sunk.

actually, that'd make a good post for one your days when you do questions stuff. if anyone else here does print vols in Chinese, where and how they get them. (I've used Heartbeat Anime - that's the one that's closed, and Koon Books - that's what is charging a ton for shipping, and Books TW - it can be hard to tell what's simplified vs traditional). I can get physical volumes of TGCF from Kinokuniya USA but they don't carry any other Chinese manhua except MDZS which I'm not interested enough in to buy in Chinese (I'm already buying it in English, that's plenty).

sorry, I'm just babbling. I'm really stressed *sweatdrop*

No worries! You can make a top level post with these questions anytime! Or would you like me to do it?

[duckprintspress]

I'll do it. :D
