hello all, i'm auspice

during the pandemic, i realized lots of things about myself and gained many new interests, but first and foremost among them was chinese media, and specifically among them baihe because what can i say? i love women.

i will voraciously devour novels if given the chance, but i try to practice self-restraint and not read 1 million characters during finals week. i only sometimes succeed. i'm particularly partial to historical/wuxia themes, but anything will do, really.

i had a great time with 如果给你寄一本书 / If I Could Mail You a Book as well as 她的山,她的海 / Her Mountain, Her Sea, which both left deep impressions on me. In recent memory, I loved 千秋梦 / Dream of Ten Thousand Autumns

on my tbr is 玩家请就位 / Players, Please Be on Standby

anyway, you can think of me as hazevi 's partner in crime --- we have a surprise coming up tomorrow :p

Hello and welcome to the comm! Have a look around and make yourself comfortable. And you're most welcome to post reviews, updates, thoughts, etc!

Players, Please Be On Standby is also on my massive TBR. If only it wasn't so long...

lol you and your aversion to long novels. Please Be On Standby sounds a heck of a lot different than Please Take Your Seat

I see someone is translating that currently. Probably MTL. *sighs*

I think it's rare that a novel actually needsto be longer than 1 million words! Maybe this is the exception, we'll see.

Also, all things being equal, the longer a novel is, the exponentially greater its chances of collapsing into a mess. At which point I start yelling at the author (who can't hear, obviously): 'LET ME EDIT YOUUUUU'

[kwirkee76]

Have you ever approached any of these writers? Maybe they'd let you help them make their stories better? But editing is so much work. You ought to get paid to do it!

Also, have you ever read anything that was long and also very good? In any language.
