Ahora, creo que, dejando de lado lo anterior, quienes quieran leer este libro y no estén familiarizados desde antes con algún idioma oriental o estén muy enterados de ese tipo de culturas, van a tener que concentrarse muchísimo en los nombres y toda la terminología china que hay en la historia si es que quieren seguirla sin perderse. En este libro es muy común que se refieran a un personaje casi que por tres nombres u honoríficos diferentes, así que les recomiendo leer el anexo que viene al final del tomo para que no se confundan con eso. Yo, personalmente, sí pude seguirlos bien tras unas cuantas páginas porque estoy muy acostumbrada a recordar nombres asiáticos. IMHO, I think they should fire their editorial team for this miss. A simple, elementary level, line by line comparison to pre existing English fan translations (3 of them!) would have revealed this. You don’t need Chinese for this step of the process. SYSTEM ACTIVATION SUCCESSFUL! 】 Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his dominion over both the Human and Demon Realms and his hundreds-strong harem, he is truly the most powerful protagonist…in a trashy webnovel series! At least, that’s what Shen Yuan believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a bout of rage leads to his sudden death, Shen Yuan is reborn into the world of the novel in the body of Shen Qingqiu–the beautiful but cruel teacher of a young Luo Binghe. While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist. The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe’s good graces before the young man’s rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain!

LWJ: i think i just fell in love seeing this absolute disaster of a man drinking on the roof last night. but no way i am telling him that. ill just glare stare at him from afar and hope he gets my feelings. im gonna be an absolute asshole and ignore him whenever he tries to talk to me. but ill still find ways to spend time with him. he brought me cute bunnies and made me a portrait and ill take care of these forever- not telling him that tho no omg that would be so embarrassing i have a reputation to maintain ffs. i keep alcohol for him in my room even tho its not allowed in our house and compose a song for him and give that song our ship name that wouldnt be obvious at all BUT WTF ARE U ON SAYING I NEED TO COMMUNICATE WTF IS THAT EVEN- Set in a fictional xianxia world reminiscent of ancient China, where human civilization consists of ordinary commoners and people who belong in the cultivation world, around which the story revolves. Cultivators train and work to accomplish superhuman feats in their attempt to reach transcendence from the mortal realm. Those with sufficient control over their spiritual energy undertake fantastical tasks such as liberating spirits, fighting malevolent ghosts and fierce corpses, exorcising haunted places or objects, and hunting down yaoguai and powerful lawless individuals. Their powers may be channeled through spiritual weapons, musical instruments, arrays, talismans, alchemy, and various other forms of cultivation tools. RESURRECTION AND REVENGE Wei Wuxian was once one of the most outstanding men of his generation, a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts, knowledge, and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of war led him to seek a new power through demonic cultivation, the world’s respect for his skills turned to fear, and his eventual death was celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that appear before him now. Yet this time, he’ll face it all with the righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS) is a fast-paced epic xianxia story that follows troublesome Wei Wuxian and ruler-lover Lan Wanji. Set in ancient China and rich in plotlines and character dynamics, MXTX was able to create one of the most engaging, mindblowing and unforgettable tales I’ve ever read. If you enjoy slow burn MM romance and complex fantasy, this series may be your new addiction.

For the record, the 7S version does translate this line correctly so I don’t know what prompted the translator to make such a comment.) THE END OF AN EPIC TALE–AND WHAT COMES AFTER Foes, allies, and one reassembled fierce corpse converge on the Guanyin Temple for a climactic showdown. With decades-long schemes finally unveiled, and dark secrets unearthed, the events of this rain-battered night will decide not just the fate of the entire cultivation world–but also that of a love story two lifetimes in the making. Also included are eight short stories that focus on the future and the past. From magical incense burners to tense banquets, to lotus-pod hunting and nighttime expeditions with the juniors, these stories span from dawn to dusk and so much more! Wei Wuxian’s method of cultivation is 鬼道 (ghost path), not 魔道 (demonic cultivation). The translation consistently confused these two terms.Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (2021-12-14). "01". Reincarnation.

In Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, MXTX's most distinct and notable stylistic "voice" is that of Lan Wangji's, with his economical yet effective usage of words. He has an impressively elegant and scholarly speech pattern, specifically following "言简意赅" ( pinyin: yánjiǎnyìgāi; concise and comprehensive), [i] a classical written way of structuring sentences into four characters. With this he is able to concisely articulate his thoughts, with sharp intent and no excessive words, fully embodying his mastery of the language as well as his taciturn nature.

Fourthly, readers have noticed that an entire paragraph was missed/omitted by 7S. In Chapter 6, there is a paragraph that reads "Although he harboured animosity toward Wei Wuxian...who leapt up to the top of the trees to avoid them." The next paragraph is missing. It's the iconic line “他一直以为江澄会站在他这边，而蓝湛则会站在他的对立面。没想到，事实却是完全颠倒过来的." (He had always thought Jiang Cheng would always be on his side, and Lan Wangji would oppose him from the other end. Who would have thought that things would completely reversed in reality). This line is included in the chinese pinsin version, all fan translations, including the most recent German translation. It's a very important line as it shows that wwx starts to realise where jc and lwj stand in his life. Easily the most popular version of Mo Dao Zu Shi is the animated series, or donghua. Unfortunately, at this time, none of the major streaming platforms in the West host the series. However, this is likely to change in the future, especially given the success of somewhat similar donghua such as Heaven Official's Blessing being on Netflix.Starra.

After the Sunshot Campaign concluded, the Jin Clan of Lanling organized a days-long flower-viewing banquet and invited countless cultivators and clans to celebrate with them. Crowds flowed hither and thither in the main square of Golden Carp Tower, but they parted around Nie Mingjue’s towering form as he advanced. Both sides bowed their heads as they greeted him: “Chifeng-zun.” He incarnates into the body of a lunatic who was abandoned by his clan and is later, unwillingly, taken away by a famous cultivator among the sects—Lan WangJi, his archenemy. The audio drama's massive success and popularity led to it being brought over to Japan for a localized adaptation, produced by Brave Hearts and in close collaboration with the original Chinese audio drama team.

Seven Seas Licenses Three Chinese Danmei Novel Series: GUARDIAN: ZHEN HUN and STARS OF CHAOS: SHA PO LANG by priest, and Meng Xi Shi's THOUSAND AUTUMNS: QIAN QIU The Emperor Reborn and His Dearest Enemy Cruel tyrant Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first ever emperor of the mortal realm. Yet somehow, he is unsatisfied. Left cold and bereft, abandoned by all he held dear, he takes his own life…only to be reborn anew. Awakening in the body of his younger self—Mo Ran, a disciple of the cultivation sect Sisheng Peak—he discovers the chance to relive his life. This time, he vows to attain the gratification that once eluded him: all who defied him will fall, and never again will they treat him like a dog. His greatest fury is reserved for Chu Wanning, the coldly beautiful and aloofly catlike cultivation teacher who betrayed and thwarted Mo Ran time and again in their last life. Yet as Mo Ran shamelessly pursues his own goals in this life he thought lost, he begins to wonder if there might be more to his teacher—and his own feelings—than he ever realized. The Golden Core (金丹, Jīn Dān) is a cultivated orb materialized from concentrated Qi—fundamental energy that constitutes overall health—within the body of a living person and functions as storage for their spiritual power. [9] Once formed, the golden core may escalate the user's cultivation level, resulting in faster skill development and increased longevity. It is a crucial aspect of being a cultivator, as there are certain feats, techniques, and defensive methods that can only be performed with the help of a well-developed golden core. Core formation and development can be achieved through years of diligent routine practices such as meditation and general martial arts training. A person's golden core is impossible to restore if destroyed or removed. Humans who do not possess one, or those who form it late in life, never develop a strong cultivation base and must rely on tools, techniques, or other 'paths' that do not require extensive use of their own spiritual energy. [10] [11] MXTX expressed befuddlement at readers' impression of Lan Xichen as someone who is a "calculating, farsighted person deep inside.” She claimed that she had never given him any traits that would make readers interpret him in such a way, adding “to be a clan leader didn't require deep insight and acute perception,” reflecting one of the novel's themes surrounding class-based societies. [M 1] Zhao, Xiaohong (2019-08-31). "China's 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' Attracts Anime Fans from Around the World". acnnewswire.com (Press release) . Retrieved 2022-05-11.Initially setting out to write a story about “cold-blooded revenge and triumphing over the scum,” MXTX sensed that the tone grew increasingly somber along the way, due to her affinity towards scar-filled characters with stories to tell and her admiration for the emotional resilience and fortitude they possess. The tale thus gradually became less about pure revenge and more about the exploration of internal conflicts borne by “scarred” characters, as well as complicated gratitude and relationships. [M 1] The normal progression for encountering a tale across media is that the parent novel will be the most detailed, deepest, and fullest. Reading this in the hope that it would illuminate its other versions that way turned out to be somewhat frustrating. However, the translator's glossary, notes, and footnotes were a boon for me just getting into this genre-and-culture, with all the new-to-me vocabulary, and worth the price of admission all on their own. Though here, the "telling” style of the text actually paid off, as it did convey more blunt explanations than the pictures just thrown at one in the other media.
