Date: 2025-06-28 09:38 am (UTC)1) I was going to rant about how hard scanlating is - what do you mean I have to write AND think about the shape of the text?). As usual I've gotten distracted and given up (though I really want to share this comic, it's very gender and atmospheric), but I'd like to express my deep admiration to anyone who does any kind of text-based translation, it's really not for everyone.
2) A radio version of Ya She εθ is trending on Maoer/Missevan right now! It starts out a bit differently from the donghua (the first case is the antique mirror case). The style is full-cast dialogue with narration, so closer to an audiobook, and presumably more faithful to the original world.
2) Wingspan Asian Expansion is out!!!!!!!!!!!! I still don't understand this game but I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing Asian birds.

Date: 2025-06-28 11:12 pm (UTC)In terms of non-cnovels, I've started reading the sff novel Point of Hopes by Melissa Scott. I'm enjoying it so far (I'm a bit tempted to check out the completely different genre show that inspired the main characters once I finish it).
Also on a completely non-book related note, I've been seeing a bunch (or maybe the same one multiple times?) of hummingbirds at my feeder, which always brightens my day.

Date: 2025-07-02 04:37 pm (UTC)What are the different genres between the book, Points of Hopes, and the show?
no subject
Date: 2025-07-02 08:12 pm (UTC)The show is the UK (then contemporary) action/spy drama The Professionals from 1977. In contrast, the book is a fantasy-ish novel (think something like Swordspoint) set in the capital city of a country that feels like an AU Elizabethan England.
