A cultivation novel (the horror!) set apart by a thoughtful, slow pace, and verbose enough to drown you alive in the English language. It's a good thing the translator for this was competent, because it would have been an absolute horrific trainwreck in average hands.... more>>

Truly great selection. If I may add: Running Away From the Hero (Remake).Reply · 3 Likes · 1 · 0 - Fghsses· Aug 6, 2019 05:17 PM
Thanks for selecting these.That said: "I can't believe that 'Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?', 'Apotheosis of a Demon' and 'Tale of a Lax Demon' aren't on this list."Reply · 2 Likes · 1 · 0- Westeller· Author · Aug 6, 2019 07:49 PMI haven't read them, actually. Except for Kumo, but I'm way behind on that one. Kumo is like Word Master; translation hand-offs, inconsistent releases and delays put the novel on the backburner for a lot of people, myself included. It's permanently on my backlog until I find time to, well, reread it entirely at this point.Reply · 1 Like · 1 · 0
