BC Novels

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:

You can also view the trailers using that link.

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!

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!

It’s legally available for free and with English subtitles at We TV. I’m watching it right now! I love it.

Two episodes were released today. Enjoy!

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.

Thanks for reading.

I’ve changed the look of BCNovels.com. This website is using the WordPress content management system (CMS) which allows me to make a website without messing with coding.

TL;DR – Everything is fine and you shouldn’t see any major change to the website design at all.

Long story:

This year WordPress had released some pretty major updates. Most notably, a brand new “Gutenberg editor” which is, frankly, not my favorite at all. But I’ve gotten used to it.

With these new changes, the old Dara Theme I have been using now lacks certain functionalities and customizing options that I want.

I’ve chosen the Astra Theme for the new website redesign.

What has remained the same:

• The overall look, color, and layout.
• The font style, colors, and sizes.
• Navigation menu on top.
• Widgets on the sidebar.
• The stuff at the bottom of the website.

What has now changed and why:

• The main content is now more narrow in desktop mode (no change in mobile). I made this change for readability since wider text is harder to read. For example, newspaper text is printed in narrow columns. Ideally, text should be 45 – 75 characters per line. Right now text on BC Novels is 75 characters per line, including spaces.
• Since the main content area is narrower, the sidebar is now wider. The change is only around 5% of the total width which shouldn’t be noticeable.

Possible future changes: I might make a logo for BC Novels. I think text is probably good enough.

Problem: Uh, the night mode button doesn’t seem to be working right now. I’m trying to fix it.

I hope everyone likes the new look. Thanks for reading.

P.S. I did test on desktop, tablet, and mobile and everything seems fine but do let me know if I’ve broken anything.

New animation preview.

Watch the trailer on Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Ov41qB21I

There is still no confirmed date of release but apparently it was added to “summer releases” in the official announcement (source).

I wonder if the first season is just Binghe’s childhood? I wanna see adult version Binghe more but I guess that might be a spoiler if people watch it in a preview.

What do you think of the video?

I personally prefer more traditional animation rather than 3D stuff like this but I guess I’ll watch it.

P.S. Let me know if any group has committed to subtitled the animation since I want to announce it here on BC Novels so that people will know how/where to watch it.

P.P.S. The manga/manhua is still in hiatus but you can read a few chapters that are English translated here – https://mangadex.org/title/40974/scumbag-system
