  1. I’m late to the party but I was one of your readers who were updated with your releases of SVSS then. It feels so surreal seeing it on the shelves of our local bookstore now. I never thought that I’d be able to see an official english release in my lifetime (especially a hardcopy at that). And I think that it was a huge thanks to you guys too… for sharing this with us initially and gaining such a huge fanbase worldwide. Otherwise who would have known how wonderful some of these novels are. I’d just like to give my appreciation to you.

    Cheers to fellow fans! My only lil complaint is that the english novel covers aren’t as subtle as the cn/kr releases hahaha. 🫣

  2. Hi!! I have read all SVSS chapters here like…2 times?? For me is like reading it for the first time each time jejeje…thank you so much for the work to translate it, really. And dear, I was hopping, if it is posible for you, to share a digital version of the novel with the ones who bought it? I know there is an official digital version too, but I can’t afford the physical and the digital version at the same time…maybe you can do it with proofs of the purchase, I don’t know, if you can and want to do it, let me know. I am grateful in any case 🙂

  3. Thank you Reika. Out of all three books I only preordered SVSSS since it’s my favorite. That wouldn’t have happened without you guys’ translations.

  4. I’m so happy the series got licensed! It’s a little pricy but I’ll save up and get myself a copy!

    Thank you so much for translating and hosting the series, this is the series that made me fall in love with the genre. I also appreciate your encouragement to buy the official version too~

  5. I’m so dumb I literally was taking so long to read because I didn’t want it to end, now I was close to end and can’t possibly buy it kkkkkk I’m from brasil it’s gonna cost me a fortune since 1 USD = 5 BRL wich is our currency, plus overseas shipping, like I have NO HOPE *nervous laugh*. Guess I’ll just hope the same publisher that’s licensed Mo Dao Zu Shi here will license their other titles. Guess I’ll cry in the corner now, but like ACTUALLY thank u anyway for translating it, fan translations are underappreciated a lot, it was fun reading it I hope the official one does just as good a job as yall. I find fan translations to be more careful and with more cultural notes and stuff. I admire your morals. Good for u.

    1. I’m venting I’m sorry, but I am so depressed kkkk omg I don’t know what to do with myself, this is literally my worst fear come true I’m losing my mind scum villain is not popular at all here oh Jesus I’ll never finish reading it like there are Portuguese translations but they’re from English and not very good I’m mourning I’m sad and there’s no one to talk to so I’m just gonna anonymously vent here

    2. idk if it helps at all, but the official translations are actually also being done by fan translators, so they should be equally dedicated to the authenticity of the novel! as for the price, the ebook should be cheaper than a physical copy? otherwise there are a lot of free giveaways on twitter so maybe you can try participating in those

    3. Yes, it is tough for people who can’t get it in their native language. Sorry, but hopefully the licensed novels will be cheaper later on. You would have to wait a while though.

  6. Hi, I am a reader (female) who only knows Spanish (I use Google translator to read) and I would like to know if you could upload the chapters at least for a day; so I could take screenshot or something like that to be able to read them, is that I didn’t finish reading the novel (╥﹏╥).

    By the way, this is my first time commenting here (I’m not good with words).

    1. Depending on which chapter it is, there might be some other fan translators who have some chapters. Try searching tumblr, twitter, etc. Maybe someone from there can help you, especially with the Spanish version.

  7. It’s been a while since my last visit but I really really want to thank you for all the work and effort that you put in this novel. I firmly believe that the interest that you and other translators raised played a really important role in what we see today. I’ll be glad and excited to support the official licensed work.

    I have no other words than thank you, you’re awesome and I sincerely hope you’re doing well. 💕

  8. Hi. I actually an avid reader of svsss here but never leave a comment ( im no good with word tbh) but as the novel has been picked up which means that i will no longer come here monthly to feed on svsss, i just want to leave an appreciation post. Thank you for translating svsss and make my world brighter. This novel is truly my comfort novel and to read it without having go through the mtl version is truly a big help. Will look out for another translation project from ur team in future.

    Thank you ❤️❤️

    Stay safe and take care <3333

    1. It was my pleasure to share this amazing novel with readers from all over the world. Take care, my fellow MXTX fans!

    I’m a little sad I wasn’t able to read SVSS here, but I’m excited to finally get the official English published novel.

  10. I’m so excited about this licensing and I fully support your part in supporting the official release going forward. $20 for a deluxe paperback is a LOT for me right now (esp $60 with all three titles), particularly because I don’t know what I’m going to do with a hard copy 😭

    But damn, I’ve pirated so much danmei, the least I can do is to support MXTX and prove that there’s a English language market for danmei/Chinese stories in general. Hell, my mom reads translated CN novels! (I just don’t care for her preferred titles lmao)

    1. Same here, the price is a lot for me since I’m really poor, but I’ll do my best and save up money to try to buy it.

  11. It’s been hours and I’m still hyped over it, can’t wait for December! Thank you so much for letting us have the chance to read SVSSS all this time!

    Also, for the people asking about partial translations and such: please be patient and respect MXTX and all the people who worked hard to make that official translation possible.

    Taking it down now was both reasonable and a wise decision 🙂

    1. Thanks for your support! This is a great thing for MXTX, and I’m happy about it.

  12. I’m so exited to hear about the official versions, and totally support your decision to remove the chapters! I have one question though- the later part of the book isn’t going to be out for another year. Do you think you might make those chapters available with proof of purchase of the books? I would really love to use them as fact check/reference for fics I’m working on while I wait for it all to release. If not I totally understand~

    1. Sorry, but that wouldn’t be good. 🙂 Let’s just be patient and wait for the official translation.

    2. Good news for everyone since there already anime ongoing but on hiatus again😑 and even if i want to buy the book…guess i won’t able to buy the translated version😭😭😭where i can reread again in future😭😭😭😭

    3. The books should be available in all major online retailers. Sorry for suddenly taking down the fan version, but I think this is the right thing to do.

  13. Yay!!!! Totally excited for the books to come out ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for everything 🙂 but I just realized… dang lol, that means that smutty ch99 that I edited wasn’t online for very long lololol~ But this is great news though, so I’m happy and excited!!

    1. 🙂 Yes, but at least the project was finished, even if it wasn’t up for that long!
