  1. If you put it that way, there's a bit of both. But even then, its less overt when compared to say DPY. First continent definitely has more "self sufficiency" built into it. The second continent is a change of pace and has that bit too. It's no Er Gen novel but its good fun.
  2. Personally? Unfortunately I didn't read TGR so I can't gauge it. BTTH > AR > DPY > WDQK BTTH only wins because it has a special place in my heart, it was the first HSP novel I read. AR is objectively better in most ways. DPY is great, it reminds me a little of AR but the cheatcode known as the female MC took away a little of the suspense in the novel. WDQK was alright, but the rest were better 🙂
  3. You know how Li Luo is always looked down upon because he's from the Outer Divine Continent but yknow he's got triple resonances? If only he had more time he'd be so much stronger... Great question! I think the odds aren't super likely because HSP is spending alot of his effort into turning his works into an entire world of media, including dramas, mangas etc etc. that said I do think a drama/anime for AR might be coming... we will see if that does happen 🙂 My favourite detail? I really like the resonance system. I've always liked how Douluo Dalu had the spirit beast rings and stuff that gave interesting affinities to their characters. Similarly, I do like the variety of resonances and how they give people a sort of reason as to why some are better at combat/healing etc. I also like the gradual leveling process of the system. Each tier builds up to the next rather organically (e.g. Fiend palace involves tempering resonance palaces, then you upgrade the body, then you absorb energy to bolster yourself before you go to the next tier and form pearls which help you absorb more energy from the world to power you up etc etc.) and I like how its not just a simple number go up system. Favourite background character? I'm a Yu Lang fan. It's always fun to translate his interactions with the crew. I hope he comes back soon 🙂 Something annoying? Just like you guys, I find it really annoying when the author keeps repeating the same points over 3 lines to say the same thing.
  4. My second novel, Heaven's Devourer was a relatively early work of the author and you can clearly see how it was rough around the edges. The benefit of translating AR is that this is an author who has mastered the fast food genre of novels and so he knows how to hook readers in and how to push the plot along. HSP isn't an Er Gen but there are fun bits and often trying to translate these anecdotes effectively such that they convey the same meaning is always fun 🙂 Thanks! Part of the reason why we don't do 2/day is because the author is only releasing 1/day. Even if we catch up to the raws, the author's pace is something we can't control. That said the small gap to the latest raws is part of my stash 🙂 Perhaps we might do a mini release some time down the road to close the gap alittle. Thank you too! I personally like the power system in this novel. It's a breath of fresh air instead of the usual standard leveling system which doesnt tell you much other than higher rank = better than lower rank. Each tier in the power system has its own little quirk and unique power and its clear HSP has spent some time making it interesting. What do I dislike? It's good and bad it has a typical sort of story but things have been pretty vanilla so far (crappy starting continent -> moved to more advanced continent -> ???) I'm hoping to see some massive shakeup in the story hopefully. It be cool if all the continents exploded uncontrollably and Li Luo now needs to figure out a way to restore stuff idk im dreaming here 😛
  5. Thank you my man! I'll need to see how I can get this feasibly done... but it is a good idea! Best thing about Li Luo? I like that he's a rich young master 😄 I mean most protagonists often have godly talent and like people always look at them like they are some sort of plebby weak dudes but its refreshing to see him skip the formulae occasionally and just face slap random enemies instead of having to do a contrived work around or something. That said there are some occasional times where he does get underestimated but hey, its all in a day of a chinese webnovel 😛 What triggers me? I think the most irritating thing in mind right now is how people always see him as an Outer Divine Continent peasant sorta thing. The dude has an epic background and has godly talent so having people still look down on him is a little frustrating at times. That said, things seem to be changing in the novel so lets see how that ends up...
  6. Big as in what sort of media will be built around it? I do think AR is already quite huge! It has a manga, mobile game and has a devoted fanbase (in china) 😛 if you're talking about chapters, I'd expect this to go to around 2k chapters at least. Thank you so much. So an interesting story... I started as a reader much like all of you and very very quickly got sucked into reading for hours after hours till the wee hours of the morning and this was around the point when wuxiaworld had around 8 novels or so. The novel release rate never felt enough and I started to check out the raws. At the same time, it seemed like a fun hobby and the community was so wonderful I decided I had to give back in some small way. I actually started off translating with Radiant Translations (If anyone actually remembers that) and my very very first work was Tempest of the Stellar War (I still really like the novel so give it a shot!) I followed the novel to webnovel for a while (Till Chapter 1000) before finally coming back full circle to the place that sucked me in, WW. Finished Heaven's Devourer and then went to AR and here I am.
  7. Can't wait to start answering the questions 😛 but will start with a few as a teaser! For the first question, it was a bit of luck that I was fortunate enough to do this. I had just finished translating Heaven's Devourer and was looking for a new novel. Heavenly Silkworm Potato (HSP) had just released this novel and was keen to get wuxiaworld to get on it immediately and whilst the original team of yeow and aran were still doing Dragon Prince Yuan (DPY), I hopped in. That said, I was super keen because Battle Through The Heavens (BTTH) was the second novel I ever read on WW so i've always loved HSP's works.
