Free-For-All (Not) Friday

[geraineon]

Time for free for all (not) 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!

(Sorry this is late! Again, running out of ideas for discussion topics, so if you have some burning questions or just some stuff you'd like to see discussions of, let me know in DMs!)

Yesterday, I learnt that DLsite sells CN audio dramas! All danmei so far from what I see but here:

Ohoho?

I just want to express my sadness that there is so much bad licensed manhua translation in the big international webtoons scene (eg. Tapas)... I think they might be Kuaikan's own translations and not the international sites? But they're just so bad! One of them unironically translates the crying sound as "boohoo" it's so unserious lmfao. Not to mention the names!!! When there are Anglicized names in a non-Western setting that's how I know I'm reading something whose original language is Chinese.

Yess!!! I hope there will be more as time goes by.

It's a hefty price tag but it's also a huge file, and this means you can just download it and KEEP IT!

(I have not figured out how to rip from the various audio drama platforms and I hate that I have to listen through them)

Ughh, I have heard so many bad things about Tapas.

It's very hard to support official releases when they don't care about the quality at all.
