Wuxiaworld

Wuxiaworld

Yep, I wasn't kidding when I said I was going off topic.

During the last 10 years or so of my life I have been an avid reader of Japanese mangas and a watcher of anime, I'd spend alot of time reading and watching new series and enjoying the various art styles, plots (which sometime so way out of hand), characters and stories. During the course of doing this about a year and a half ago I discovered a chinese webtoon/comic of a wuxia light novel, this was "Tales of Demons and Gods". And so began my new found love affair with Wuxias

What is a Wuxia?

noun

A genre of Chinese fiction or cinema featuring itinerant warriors of ancient China, often depicted as capable of superhuman feats of martial arts.

Now, as I have found something like this, there was one small issue, well, it's actually rather large and pretty simple... I CAN'T READ OR SPEAK CHINESE". Normally this would lead me to have to give up on my hopes of reading these sort of light novels, however thankfully, some wonderful person decided to post a link to a website in the comments section of the comic, this link was for wuxiaworld

What is Wuxiaworld

Founded by RWX, a passionate fan of Wuxia novels in 2014 the site quickly rose to prominence as the largest Chinese-to-English novel translation platform in the world and is ranked in the top 2000 US webpages and has millions of page views each day.

The translations on the site are all done by fans of each novel, in their own free time. There are currently 17 translators/teams translating a total of 23 ongoing novels, and have already completed the translation of another 7 finished novels.

Wuxiaworld enjoys a strong, collaborative relationship with original rights holders such as 17k.com, and hope to be expanding into the e-publishing business soon. The translators of Wuxiaworld are driven by an abiding passion for Chinese fiction, and continue to look for more opportunities to expand the reach of popular Chinese culture and fiction into the Western world.

I personally love the site myself and would recommend that anyone who has an interest in chinese fiction give it a view  :)
