An Update

Hi, it’s me again!

First off, I’m so sorry that I kind of just… vanished. Last year was very tough for me mentally and I have many other preoccupations to worry about. Translating c-novels was a hobby I picked up for fun and experience, but at one point everything became a little too much to juggle all at once, so I had to set it aside. Again, very uncool of me to just log out of this blog and not say a word, but mental health makes you do unpredictable things, who knew 😅

Anyway, that’s enough lamenting since I know you didn’t click on this post for that. The main purpose of this is to give you some run-downs on the status of all of my current (and possibly coming) projects.

• Regarding Faraway Wanderers and Lord Seventh: I have decided to drop these two, since they have been picked up by others and their updates are definitely more quality and frequent. I love these two novels (FW is one of my all-time favorites, in fact), and I’m so glad their translations were continued during my hiatus. You can continue reading FW here, and LS here (ch6+7) and here (ch8 onward). I will add all the links to my table of content too, for easy access.
• Regarding Han Shan, I’m a little torn. It has been picked up very recently, and the team is also translating the audio drama which is awesome; but this novel is also a favorite of mine, and it’s a little harder to part ways with it since I’m currently rereading and falling in love with it all over again. Therefore, I’m putting the decision in your hands: If there’s still an interest in my (amateurish, unpolished) version, I will continue it, albeit very slowly like before. If there isn’t, you can read the other team’s work, so all in all it’s still a win for you!
• Regarding future projects: Since two of my mains are now dropped, I’m currently choosing another novel to pick up as my major focus. 酌鹿 (Deer Glass Deliberation) has been on my radar for a while (quick review: very interesting fantasy world, plot and characters are quite average but there’s a certain charm to it), and recently I’m reading 封刀 (Sealing Sword) and is very intrigued by it, so those two will be my potential new big projects. Picking Actor Extraordinaire back up again is also a possibility as no one continued my translation and modern novels are relatively easier to work with. Furthermore, I’m eyeing a baihe (girl’s love/wlw) novel at the moment, since there’s an outrageous shortage of them translated compared to danmei; 鱼龙符 (Fish-Dragon Talisman) is on my to-read list, so if I ever get around to and like it, I will pick it up too – we always need to spread more girls-loving-girls appreciation! 🌈

And that’s it, really. If you’re still reading this: Thank you so much for your comments and support, they’re one of the main reasons why I keep coming back to translating ❤️ I hope you are having a good day and taking care of yourself amidst the current situation going on in the world.
