I’m happy that we finished another story project. I’ll be taking a break before coming out with the next one. I’m looking at several that I like, but please let me know if there are any that you think are good.
Thank you very much to everyone who has helped out with Scum Villain! Thanks for reading and supporting BC Novels!
Let’s continue to enjoy our favorite danmei novels. 🙂 Have a great weekend, everyone!
Since then more than two dozen editors, beta readers, proofreaders, and fellow translators have joined BC Novels’ projects.
Thank you to all of the people who have helped with all the novels! Thanks to all the readers, too! Without you, BC Novels wouldn’t have lasted this long.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope you’re having a great time today.
“I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thank you very much for always supporting BC Novels.

Scumbag System Season 2 Confirmed!
Season 2 of Scumbag System (穿书自救指南), the official animated adaptation of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (人渣反派自救系统) has been announced on the official weibo. It will be released next year, 2021. No other details have been given.
In case you haven’t watched Season 1 yet, here is where you can watch it on the official channels:
Hooray! This project is now completely translated! Today is International Translation Day so it’s good timing, too.
Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me Stats:
Start date: August 30, 2017
End date: September 30, 2020
Project duration: 1127 days (3 years, 1 month)
88 chapters (80 main chapters + 8 extras)
That means one chapter was released every 12.8 days
I think that is a pretty decent frequency!
Of course, these last few chapters were all extras. If I were to exclude the extras and consider chapter 80 as the end chapter, then the stats are as follows:
Start date: August 30, 2017
End date: November 8, 2019
Project duration: 800 days (2 years, 2 months, 9 days)
80 chapters (main story)
That means one chapter was released every 10 days
Now that this project has ended, I feel happy, proud, and even a little bit melancholy now that it’s all over. It has been a pleasure to work on Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me.
I hope everyone has enjoyed this journey! Thank you very much for accompanying me on this rollercoaster of emotions as we all read how Chu Yu went from a clueless teenager uncertain of himself into a strong and confident young man. Xie Xi went from a (secretly yandere) little flower-like child to… an openly yandere adult. 😀
When I read the early chapters, I’m amazed at how the main characters’ relationship has progressed from childish love x doting older brother into… obsessive lover x doting lover!
Thank you again for reading and let’s read more great stories. I look forward to more exciting projects in the future.
Summary: An antifan was transported into the novel he was reading and becomes embroiled in the main character’s affairs.
Why you should read it:
The reader is deaf (this could be the only danmei where there’s a main character with disabilities).
The novel’s main character is a shapeshifter with 8 different (and supremely beautiful/sexy) forms.
There’s a lot of explicit, rather kinky *cough* scenes which are all different. There’s at least one for every form (human, elf, dragon, angel, demon, beastkin, lich, gnome).
Actually a really sweet love story with a happy ending. Edit: based on a comment, I should add that there are some dark moments.
Completely translated, no waiting needed!
Xiu and his 8 different forms
Review by Reitian: Absolutely amazing. This is exactly what I look for in a novel. Not only did it have a complex and well thought out plot with great pacing, the character development was steady and believable. I loved that the plot actually ventured on a dark path and I enjoyed the grotesque descriptions. There was action. There was adventure. Most importantly, it was consistent. Sometimes I feel like halfway through BL novels (specifically), the author gives up on the plot so the main CP can get together. That doesn’t happen in this story. Everything about it was intense, especially the romance. The attention to detail not only wraps everything up nicely, it weaves and threads the piece together.
The Chinese animated adaptation of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System will be aired on September 10, 2020. By the way, if you come across the word “donghua,” that is just the Chinese word for animation. The donghua is officially titled “Scumbag System” (穿书自救指南) and will be available for free to watch online in the original Chinese with English subtitles at Tencent Video.
Kinda long link here but this is where you should be able to watch it:
Apparently, it will be ten episodes long which is pretty short. I hope it’s good! I sort of prefer to let episodes pile up then binge-watch it but… who am I kidding? I’ll undoubtedly be too excited to wait!

Are You OK – I am obsessed with this Chinese animated series!
Someone recommended this donghua (Chinese animation) to me and now I can’t get enough of it. Despite the serious-sounding summary, it’s mostly comedy. At least, I think it is. Looks like there might be some serious plot stuff later on.
Summary: Today, the imperial court is soliciting transmigrators, giving them various positions according to their talents, changing the ancient civilization with modern technology, and trying to create a new world. Zuo Yunqi is just an ordinary young master, mixed with the court in disguise as a spy to save his father. However, he was recognized by one hired specifically to spot such spies, and the two engaged in an epic battle of wits.
Alternate summary: 3d comedy donghua in which transmigrators have started appearing in ancient fantasy China en-masse. They’re being rounded up by the government for their Big Brains™ and given positions of power/money/wealth (source)
Hiya fans of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System! I know a lot of us are also fans of the Mo Dao Zu Shi animation (donghua) and I thought some of you might not yet know that there’s a new chibi animation Mo Da Zu Shi. Each episode is short but cute and everyone is in chibi style!
P.S. Do you like the news posts about current and upcoming donghua? Or would you prefer it if I stick to only BC Novels announcements? Please leave a comment if you have an opinion. I’m slightly worried that people don’t like these types of posts.
