Chinese Novels

Keeping up with 穿越成宋徽宗公主, which just finished an arc involving internal rebellion and an attempt to clean out some military corruption during a lull in external conflict (the Jin-Song wars), and I saw a few readers worrying that the depiction of the uprising would draw censor hammer attention, esp. as the comments got quite heated at times. It's not like novels haven't covered rebellions before??? esp. when it's so clearly delineated as pre-20th-century history... maybe some opaque ref to 20th-century stuff flew over my head idk.

(speaking of censorship—very :o to see the NYT cover the Haitang writers' arrests & prosecutions that have been happening since last year. :( BBC had an article too but that one's more trashwrong)

I'm also following 穿着龙袍穿越了!, about a guy dressed in emperor cosplay who timetravels to the late Eastern Han right when things are going belly up. This story's more lulzy entertaining with the protag doing his very best to fake it as the "real" emperor vs. the other two options, though one's already gaslighted himself out of the running (self-PUAed per cnet lmao)

last but not least I gotta note the ~1-year mark since I started reading 3K Workers and consequently fell down a deep, deep, deep hole ahahaha :') it spurred me to actually get a JJWXC account and spoiled me for other stories in the genre orz
