Honestly, after a busy day, editing is kind of a relaxing activity for me. I get to read new chapters while I edit them.
It's a long list. Here are a few: The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Alchemist, the Harry Potter series, and the Hunger Games series. Some of the all-time favorite classics, like Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Pride and Prejudice, and Sherlock Holmes, never get old.
Additionally, I have also enjoyed reading Invincible and Love Code at the End of the World and am currently enjoying reading Desolate Devouring Art on Wuxiaworld. Being an editor, I can't help being a bit biased about the books I have edited while working with an amazing team of translators. 😉
I have some books (The Second Coming of Gluttony, Damn Reincarnation, and Field of Gold) on my to-read list from Wuxiaworld that I have heard good things about, and I am sure I will be adding some of them to my favorites list. Let me know if you have any more suggestions. 🙂
I am a big foodie. I enjoy all kinds of cuisines, but my all-time favorite is Butter Chicken.
Yes, we have a Black Lab named Bagheera. You can see his cute furry face on my Discord profile picture.
When we adopted him, his resemblance to the black panther Bagheera from The Jungle Book was striking, and we knew that name would suit him perfectly. He is just a cute ball of energy and our furry baby, so simply having him around makes me happy. Hahaha, he doesn't technically annoy me, but I always find it amusing how he routinely wipes his muzzle on my pants after eating his food as if I were his personal towel.
Gardening, reading, and traveling at the moment, as summer is around the corner. My hobbies kind of change with the season, but I would say reading and traveling stay constant. I always had a green thumb and enjoyed gardening with my grandparents as a child; that passion has remained with me. 🙂
Everywhere around the world. I would just spin the globe, randomly point at a place to visit and fly there. Hahah! I love experiencing different cultures and have a lot of friends scattered around the world, so I would start by visiting them one by one.
What's my favorite season, and why? The answer is all four seasons, with autumn and summer being my favorites. Summer is my favorite for its warmth and sun, and autumn is my favorite for the beautiful colors and activities like pumpkin picking, fall foliage viewing, etc. And don't even get me started on the delicious pumpkin spice latte... 😉
Reading has always been my passion; I also write my own stories. In 2019, I was looking for some exciting novels to read, and dMomo, also an editor at Wuxiaworld, introduced me to the translated web novels on Wuxiaworld. I started reading The Second Coming of Gluttony, which dMomo was editing at that time, and found it very interesting (I have yet to finish reading it, and I am sure it will be going on the list of my favorite books from Wuxiaworld once I catch up on it this summer.)
dMomo enjoyed editing and working with all of you amazing people here at Wuxiaworld and encouraged me to apply to be an editor. I had prior experience editing in academia and really enjoyed it, so I emailed you, passed your test, and got assigned as an editor for Invincible in 2019. 🙂
I think Invincible is my favorite novel on Wuxiaworld, as it was my first project. However, I am enjoying reading and editing Desolate Devouring Art at the moment. I enjoy Thy's translation style, and the more I progress into the story, the more interesting it becomes. The plot development is slow, but I am at a point where the author is finally starting to lay down the foundation for a bigger plot. And after a busy day, I just like the light reading aspect of it.
I have yet to read more books from Wuxiaworld, as I have been enjoying reading/editing the books I have been working on since 2019. Hopefully, I will get more time from my busy schedule in the summer to explore and read the titles I mentioned above.
