  1. The original was translated elsewhere is my guess.
  2. Eternal life, the goal of many a hero in the novels we adore.
  3. Beyond the Timescape, one of the best out right now, updates daily by Deathblade.
  4. Not able to appreciate the ramblings of this post and the fun in provides.
  5. Then, dear Father I wish you the best, remember the adage, ' a happy wife is a happy life'.
  6. Father knows best, only for as long as mother thinks so..
  7. Place your faith in the thread getting less lonely.

    Not quite sure where this is going but sure why not. I will take the bait and ask.. and what comes next?
  11. Bowling is a game that requires a good eye and a skillful throw.
  12. Agree with Will Eternal, Bai is written so well that how could we not fall in love with him at first read. NSHbA has become long in the tooth and really should end soon but Long Chen is an entertaining MC that has staying power for many. Beyond the Timescape at this moment is running to be my favourite read. Oh Captain our captain, what would we or our sweet boy MC do without him and his antics. As a personal favourite I will add A record of a mortals journey to immortality. The MC is mostly so forgettable and plain that he is outstanding. The series is a slow crawl and that is what attraced me to it. He falls down so often but has the fortitude to dust himself off and start all over again.
  13. Mistakes are meant to be a learning curve.
  14. Stay strong and keep the faith
  15. Suggest you put this question into the Website Feedback & Bug Reports forum. Not much luck in any of the staff seeing this post here
  16. These are still ongoing so no idea where the count will end. Nine star hegemon body art, our boy LC picks up a beauty or two everywhere he goes. Even has a couple in the underworld. Martial God Asura, CF has a built in harem with a few treats. Most of the time they are MIA pop in and out every couple hundred chapters or so.. Emperors Domination, lost track of how many wives, concubines, maids and foot stools LQ has Completed Novels Battle through the Heavens, a couple of wives, love interests, XY got around but not as much as we thought. Wu Dong Qian Kong, LD has two wives and a couple of waifu he looked at.
  17. For me the translation quality is key to becoming an awesome read. I want to be able to feel what I am reading as well as let my imagination run wild. The translator brings that to us with their choice of diction. I also watch a lot of Donghua, so when I have to filter the translations from trying to figure out what it actually means, it leaves a bitter aftertaste that lessens the viewing pleasure. Reading for me is a pleasure and I do not want anything to lessen the experience.

  19. Did not end up going out to dinner, a late lunch with some shopping with the kids down on the lakeshore. A good day overall. Since then it is back to the grind. Took down the decorations inside the house but left the outside ones for another week. Had a snow storm yesterday, expecting another one Saturday morning all day. Not much acclamation, only a couple inches but the whole all day thing is just plain overkill. Ah well welcome to winter in Canada..
  20. Wishes for an amazing start to a new year with stories that will blow our collective socks off here on Wuxia World.
  21. Thank you for the heads up an adding to the list. Going to go and check MDL and add it to my watch list. 🙏🏼 FYI checked on MDL and this is the synopsis given, not sure how I feel about it being tagged as a rom/com. "Bai Xiao Chun, a kind-hearted and free-spirited, always uses his own methods to help people who he thinks are in need. This leads to many hilarious situations, and he is regarded by villagers as a rebellious kid. After he gets into the famous Ling Xi Sect, he meets a few like-minded friends, each with their own capabilities and quirks. Together, they form a team set to uphold justice. A few years later, Bai Xiao Chun grows up and becomes a hot-blooded and responsible young hero. Bai Xiao Chun sets out on a journey to restore world peace and, in the process, gains friendship and love."
  22. Unsheathed - PV available on YT, an air date has not be released but it is supposed to be out Spring of 2024. Dragon Prince Yuan / Yuan Zun- PV available on YT, an air date was in 2023 but since then no date has been set. Emperors Domination - PV available on YT, an air date has not been released. If anyone has any others, please add to this post so that we all can keep an eye out for the adaptations. 🙏🏼
  23. Ok so thought I would give this so called Season 2 of BTTH the live drama series a try. All I can say is why do I do these things to myself and then resent it all after. Lack of a budget is a deciding factor, along with the actors who are still green around the gills. It also is not a continuation from season 1 but a sort of restart from a different point of time in the novel. Leaving the viewers from season 1 with a hate on for this. Season 1 ended on a cliff hanger which was never a part of being resolved in Season 2. Ah well, live and learn yet again, time to go and wash my mind out with a couple of chapters from the novel to take away the bad taste.
  24. A down to earth character that is sympathetic and hard working. He had to scrape his way to the top of the cultivation world starting from literally nothing. Relapsed more than once, hurt more often than not. left behind easily. Makes you the reader want to cheer for him from the beginning and support him any which way we could. Well worth the read so far. Good story telling overall.
  25. A good novel for me is one that leaves me tingling with excitement and bated breath for the next chapter to drop. for me it is just that simple. Wow me and I am yours for the reading. *********************************************************************************************************************** A bad novel for me is one that incoherent and rambling. A novel needs to make the kind of sense that the reader can understand. What annoys is when the author try to pull fast ones with far fetched explanations and vague meanings with no tie ins to the plot or characters. Ramblings that do nothing but regurgitate the same information or conversations over and over again to fill up pages. Word count does not a good story make. You know how bad it truly is when you can skim a page and sum it up in one sentence. Characters that appear and then go way of the dodo bird to never be seen or heard from again and leave us scratching our poor heads trying to figure out how they tied into the whole thing in the first place. Rinse and repeat sub plots that leave you asking why the novel did not end 1000 chapters ago. I am sure I have other points to make and whine about but these came to mind without a second think.
