C-novel adjacent: I picked up a historical Taiwanese game because it was on sale for $5. It's called The Legend of Tianding which is about a real historical figure during the Japanese occupation. Which means you get to beat up Japanese soldiers in the process of punishing the elites. The spoken language is Taiwanese Hokkien so I'm having fun listening to that, as well. Unsure if I'll finish because I'm bad at platformers but so far I am not regretting this impulse purchase. XD

Just finished volume 2 of At the World's Mercy! The translation of volume 2 worked much better for me (this one is by Serena who I believe also worked on The Creator's Grace).

Highlight for spoilers!*I find Princess Yanyi and Ah-Xin's relationship interesting. Going by the prologue of volume 1, I assume Princess Yanyi will successfully take the throne, but something presumably happens to her between the Zhaowu era and the Shunde era, since a young male emperor is mentioned. I'm curious about Wei Tingxu's past, but I'm not especially invested in the forthcoming romance between her and Zhen Wenjun yet.*

I wish I had an idea when volumed 3 and 4 are going to be available to pre-order!

I'm still creeping through the Dawning extras, and in the meantime I motored through all of vol. 2 of the Rosmei translation of Global Examination. I already read the fan translation, and I still love it.

pretty decent overall! most are a shade worse than Seven Seas in terms of spelling and grammar issues; I can't really speak to fidelity to the originals, as the only official English translation I've read of a book I've also read in Chinese is my current Chinese read, DMBJ, and that English translation was from neither publisher and is notoriously poor.

they're definitely better than Via Lactea for spelling/grammar stuff.
