nande does fan translations

tl;dr: I translate some chinese BL novels without pay, but when the original novels aren't free, I only show the translations to people who bought the novels from the author. Links provided.

Hi! I translate some novels I like for fun. Some of these translations are on Wordpress, but most of them are now on Google Docs for security reasons.

As these are fan translations of non-free books, I ask people to buy the books from the author before accessing the free translations. All of these novels are published online at JJWXC (purchasing guide here), although some have print editions too. They cost less than US$3 each.

The basic info is here, but if you need more help/info, you can join the Discord server where I post translation updates, Jupiter, and ask in #general.

[runfreelyactwildly]

people are telling the absolute truth when they say reading saye made them want to become a better person. i always see people saying this and to others it might sound like a whole "changed the trajectory of my life" thing to exaggerate one's liking for the book but NO. it for real makes you want to change for the better. please read saye now

The worst thing about formal English is that it offers these wonderful suffixes, then only lets you use them in prescribed circumstances. I should be able to describe things as meatful or leftly or falsewise without departing from the formal register if I darn well please.

BL Novel Review/Recommendation - Run Wild: Sa Ye by Wu Zhe

(Starting with my favourite novel)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

tl;dr: sweet, emotional, hilarious portrayal of two teens learning to build a lasting relationship and a better life for themselves, against the backdrop of a rundown, post-industrialised city.

It's rare for me to like a long coming-of-age novel so much. Usually told from the perspectives of teens, they tend to be too juvenile to be tolerable, or too mature to be realistic, or too depressing to be read for long without impact on my mental health. By some miracle, Run Wild: Sa Ye manages to avoid all three; its narrative is charming, silly, and altogether quite touching—and hopeful.

We follow the story of Jiang Cheng, a seventeen-year-old boy who discovers he is adopted, and whose adopted family "returns" him to birth father in northern China. He soon discovers that this father is a vulgar gambling addict with very little interest in building a relationship with his newfound son. At the same time, he is drawn to his classmate and neighbour, Gu Fei. Despite Gu Fei's violent reputation, a bond forms between the two boys, who find in each other someone finally willing to make room in their lives for them, to build a home with them.

The writing paints a realistic picture of everyday life in a Northeast Chinese city still scarred by the economic reforms that hollowed their industry. For all that many are impoverished and have given up hope of anything better, life goes on—people get by entertaining themselves and eking out a living.

But Jiang Cheng has greater hopes and dreams, and he pursues them just as fervently as Gu Fei fears the thought of them.

If you focus a lot on dialogue when you read (as I sometimes do), it's an absolute riot. I've never laughed so much over such a heart-wrenching novel, and I'm glad it's being translated into English so I can foist it upon my best friends too. (Volume 1 will be out 21 January 2025)

Chapter 30 of Jiehuo (我就是来借个火) - English translation

“Yeah.” Yuan Wu stared at his face for a while, then let his gaze slide all the way down. “I think every part of you is pretty handsome, honestly.”

“But you’ve really never felt anything in your heart?” Lin Chengbu frowned.

“Not my heart, but somewhere else,” Yuan Wu said.
