Professor in the streets.... reverts back to his demon, god-worshipping true self in the sheets.
Because of the nature of their past.. all of them, me and a friend had a discussion about ALL the things they could've been for each other and what Shen Wei could've called Yunlan, we got silly but initially just decided on these ones lmao
Hello and good day to you! This is my first ask (mostly because I've only now gathered the courage for it). I'm keeping it simple: what do you think of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's works and their adaptations? (Maybe this is smth you've already answered before, but I'm really to interested to hear your thoughts on this!and I wouldn't presume to have read all your posts...)
Hello hello!
I'm delighted you worked up the courage but I am afraid I haven't read any of them. I'm not well versed in Chinese cultivation source materials.
For those reading this:
“Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (墨香铜臭, Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù) is the pseudonym of the author of the novel Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi). Her three danmei (耽美, Dānměi) web novels were originally published online at the Chinese web novel site JJWXC, where they became extremely popular.” source
Best known in BL circles as the author behind The Untamed.
I come out of reading the Japanese yaoi printed manga traditions for the late 90s and early 2000s, then I kinda lost fandom for a long while (LIFE STUFF) so I missed everything to do with the west’s rising engagement with Cdramas and also cultivation, danmei, and wuxia.
To be frank, while I originally come from SFF fandom, I’m not a big consumer of epic fantasy and never really have been (it often gets too dark for me). Also for me, too much world building and magical systems and stuff. Just doesn’t really interest me since I left high school (and the Lord of the Rings movies, of course).
I know there are QUITE a few here who discovered BL because of The Untamed but I actually didn’t know about Mo Xiang Tong Xiu or Priest or any of their oeuvre until Untamed started cluttering up my Tumblr feed in mid 2019 or thereabouts, which prior to that had exclusively been Thai BL.
I waited Untamed out in disgusted obstinacy (knowing it was censored) and then watched the BL cut (after watching the ending) but I do NOT have the patience to watch the whole thing for THAT ending. (grumble)
I did watch Word Of Honor while it was airing and I’m still a little sad about it. I mean I LOVED it but also, sigh... so many deaths. I know not the same author but I bucket them into the same category.
I have actually saved a link to Untamed/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation in translation (because actual gay sex scenes!) but haven’t read it, and I’m not sure I ever will.
Which is a long way of saying, not really my corner of fandom. Sorry I can’t be of greater use.
Bestial Blade Chapter 69.1 English Translation is up!
T/N: I told myself to never split chapters again, but I really want to just post this already. This is part 1 of 2 of Chapter 69. Hua Yi gr
Bestial Blade Chapter 68 is up!
T/N: This chapter tripped me up so badly. Some parts are inconsistent with what has been mentioned before, so I’m unsure of how to translate
I had meant to finish this earlier this week, but extreme period fatigue, coupled with the difficulty in translating the last few paragraphs, got this delayed to now...
Almost done with Chapter 68 of Bestial Blade! Can probably post it sometime this week or next week
Chapter 67: A Restless Night Bu Dong had two sons and one daughter. When Bu Dong left Sea Pearl city to take up his post as City Lord at Sou
BESTIAL BLADE CHAPTER 67 ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS UP!
Yes, I know, it’s been months. But better late than never, ey?
Guess who suddenly decided to work on Chapter 67 of Bestial Blade at 3 in the morning, and now it's 80% done...
Me. The fool is me. Actually, this chapter has been at 60% for months now, but life got in the way (and I also got sucked into a new hyperfixation) so...
Anyways, if nothing comes up, I aim to release the chapter later today
asdrghjkl a Bestial Blade meme for the suffering translator~
