Haha, you have no idea how many times I refresh my email just to hope for new comments. xD

Hi there! Welcome to “Asia” lol. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough, but she did not travel through time. The two characters are supposed to represent the two countries “China” and “Vietnam” in human forms so they are technically immortal. 🙂

Hi, bearbear from Canada here~ (that’ll make me a polar bear xD)
Just saw your blog and I love the whole layout!
I’m curious, is there a community platform like a forum to discuss c-novel translation?
I just discovered that people wanted to read c-novels in English a few days ago and I’m super stoked to translate and talk to people in the community!

Thanks, I actually think the way I designed my blog to be quite lovely as well. -shameless- Oh, I am quite new myself so I’m not sure about it much, but I noticed that people love to discuss as Shushengbar and at the comments section in various blogs. Also, some bloggers have their personal contacts. I cannot wait to read your translations. 🙂

Yeah, I discovered Shushengbar a few days ago, but I wished there was a better platform for everyone to mingle and communicate, like a forum or something. I'm just really interested in talking to people about translation. 😀

Hi, I am a Chinese from Singapore and just a few years older than you. 😀 Nice to see you and I love reading fantasy novels but it takes a toll on my brain lol so I mostly read modern Chinese novels and sometimes, period novels (simple ones)! I just can’t remember names and the relationship map well so novel in a modern setting is the best solution for me. 😀

Hahaha, I love both ancient and modern, but currently creating an ancient series so I am pretty sure my new novel isn’t to your taste. I will look for a new modern novel after this though!

Hi!
Another older cnovel fan here~
Originally a Chinese-American from NYC (fellow American); lived there all my life but have moved to Australia since last August.
My first foray into cnovels were reading the translations to Jin Yong’s books, but didn’t begin reading them in their original language until the novel translations for 步步驚心 halted in 2011. Hehe, I prefer listening to radiodramas and audiobooks over reading if I can get away with doing so because most books are in simplified Chinese whereas I have a better understanding of traditional characters. 🙂
A few of my favorite authors are the usual: Tong Hua, Tang7, Gu Man, and Stepmom
