I finally in a good place to start listening to more novels to get hooked on. I managed to catch up, complete, and clear away doom on my currently reading 'list'. Also, really excited to see new posts! if any of you read these, I was wondering if any of you ever got interested in learning korean, chinese, or japanese from reading all these novels? I personally was interested in chinese, but it is very difficult on your own. So, I have started with Korean first. Plus, being able to watch korean stuff (favorite zombie movie is Train to Busan) without sub titles and being able to read the novels in their original language are huge motivators for me. Any way, I look forward to listening to more videos today!
I am now 500+ chapters into this novel and am leading a one fangirl cheer squad. This junk food is extremely satisfying! It probably would have taken a long time for me to stumble across this, so thank you! While reading, there are elements of the MC and his way of doing things which are similar to Bu Fang from Gourmet of Another World. It is a foodie cultivation novel and I am only in the 1700s. But it is a lot of fun! Thank you again for doing an episode of this novel. One day I will finish all these novels!!! It would be a lot of fun to write one too.
ahhhhhh! I am reading too many stories at once. You all are great advertisements for these novels. Take responsibility and give me more time in a day to read!!!!!!! Also, 150 chaps into emperor domination. Sooooo friggin good. I find myself giggling maniacally in excitement when another idiot thinks they can strut around before Li Qiye. I am not that far into the story, but 'victory lap' is a very accurate description. I love that I have all these novels to read and also curse you for enticing me with all these stories. Thanks!
I gave in and started reading this story since I dont have many Korean stories in progress and it is nice to have a complete story on hand while waiting for chapter updates. I am still with in 1% completion, but I really like this MC. He seems to have a similar humor to me. When he filled out that damned questionnaire, I related. I would totally complete a stupid questionnaire in the same way. Thanks for reviewing it. I dont know if I would have ever gotten around to reading it or knowing it existed. <3
stay healthy!
I haven't finished this story yet..... I will come back when I am done with it.
YEAY! That was a great interview! Mitasthefloof!!!! <- my suggestion
I am so glad they decided to make an anime of it. More people can enjoy the story now.
I am conflicted.... I am excited to add more stories to my list, but I am reading too many right now and shouldn't start another. But I REALLY want to..... Also, do you all have a 'book club' or something where I can fan girl with you all? So envious of you all.
alright. I added another story to read. I need to clone myself so that I can read multiple stories at once >.> love the episode!
You guys crack me up.
Okay. About to start this episode. this was the first Er Gen novel I read and I binged it last year during covid when I had no life responsibilities. I have excited for this one. 💖
If you guys have a list of translators to interview, could you add Midasthefloof from wuxia to it? *puppy eyes*
Desolate Era has been in my bookmarks on Wuxia for awhile now. I try not to read too many at once, so had not started it yet. Was barely half way through this episode when I felt the need to stop listening and just go start reading it. Luckily for me, all 45 books and the afterward are up. I may engage on nightly and weekend binge reading. This is my self fulfilling prophecy for the near future. I blame you guys....... thank you.
I am now 4 episodes in and I just want to join the conversation!!!! Gaaaaaah! SPEAR IS THE WORST! Enough said about that one.
I want to live with a group of friends who read Asian translations and will hang out with me while talking about the novels. (translation: I am beyond envious of you all.) Also, while I have only listened to 3 episodes so far, I saw ISSTH, which is the 3rd book of Er Gen's series. I was wondering if you'll have episodes on Renegade Immortal or Pursuit of the Truth. (?) Also, Solo Leveling (Korean) or Gourmet of Another World (Chinese)? My favorite aspect of cultivation stories is while the core concept of becoming immortal/gods through a progression of levels and enlightenment remains steadfast, each story can be completely different: ISSTH and Heaven's Devourer (inspired by Journey to the West) are more traditional cultivation worlds, yet still vastly different. Beast Master of the Ages and Soul Pets require a soul bond/contract with animals, but are so different conceptually that it is impossible to say they are similar just because of the pet/companion aspect. Gourmet of Another Wor
Really enjoying the show. It's cool that you guys have read so many of my favorite novels. Can I put in a request for Azarinth Healer?
I have been reading asian webnovels for a while now but haven't found anybody to share the interest with. I love your enthusiasm, keep up the good work :). p.s would there be any chance of episodes on popular royal road novels? there are some real gems there, for example savage divinity.
i finally hear your real voice Deathblade ;)
