Hiya everyone!

Christmas is perilously near and I still haven’t done any Christmas shopping. I think I might be doomed to brave the horrible crowds of people to shop for stuff, along with everyone else who’s too disorganized to plan ahead.

In other news, Season 2 of Scum Villain is stuck, but there’s hope. Here is a reddit thread with more info – https://www.reddit.com/r/SVSSS/comments/1ijuy5p/svsss_season_2_latest_news/

TL;DR Season will air, but probably in Japan (not China) because of the censorship issues in the mainland. It’s fate is still up in the air and there is no release date as of now.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we still get season 2.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Christmas is coming!

I wish there was a BL-themed advent calendar. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this?

Imagine the possibilities: 12 days of BL merch. It could have little stickers, photocards, mini posters, etc! The potential is limitless!

It’s such a missed opportunity in the fan merchandise world. With the sheer size and passion of the BL fandom worldwide, I am absolutely convinced this would sell out.

Here’s to dreaming of danmei merch!

Hello everyone! A huge thank you to all of you for reading the web novel! Your support, comments, and readership mean the world to me.

I also want to send a slightly belated wish for a happy Single’s Day!

If you’re not familiar with it, Single’s Day is a massive and famous unofficial holiday in China, celebrated every year on November 11th (11/11). The date was chosen because the four “1s” symbolize single individuals.

It started in the 1990s as a university celebration—a kind of “anti-Valentine’s Day” for people to celebrate their single status.

So, what do people do? In China, it’s a day for singles to treat themselves, buy themselves gifts, and celebrate with friends. It has also famously evolved into the world’s largest online shopping festival! Think Black Friday, but on an even bigger scale, with e-commerce platforms offering huge sales. It’s a major cultural event for shopping and self-care.

I hope you all had a great 11/11, whether you were celebrating, shopping, or just relaxing!

Chapter 21 <— click here to read the latest chapter

It’s a wrap on Chapter 21! I’ve been busy working on the final touches for our latest translated project, and this chapter, like many others, has footnotes galore, so I hope you all aren’t tired of them yet!

I have to admit, this story has been quite a surprise. When I started, I had no idea how comedic it was going to be. It’s full of such wild humor, with so many slang terms and emojis that it has been a challenge to translate. But it’s a fun one!

There is one small thing, though. The story can be a little on the vulgar side. It hasn’t crossed a major line yet, but I’m holding my breath! Rest assured, we’re committed to including every bit of the original story’s content, no matter what.

I’m genuinely excited to keep going with it and see what happens next. Thanks so much for following along with all of the updates! I really appreciate it. Hope you have a great day.

Firewood cat?

柴猫? What exactly is that? I asked the translators, but they don’t know either, so they just literally translated it. By googling, I found that 柴郡猫 means Cheshire Cat from Lewis Caroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Is that it?

Breaking it down, the characters mean:

柴 (chái) – a surname, firewood, lean (of meat); thin (of a person)

猫 (māo) – cat

The only other usage of 柴 I have seen is in the slang term 废柴 (fèi chái), which combines the characters for trashy and firewood, meaning a loser or useless person. Could the term actually mean “useless cat”?

We’re not sure at all!

Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend.

Chapter 18 <—- click here to read the chapter

Hiya everyone!

Here’s today’s chapter for you! As you know, there’s quite a bit of slang in these stories, and some of it gets repeated a lot. I’m wondering if I should keep adding footnotes for the slang we’ve already covered in previous chapters. On one hand, it might make the reading flow a bit smoother, but then again, I don’t want anyone to forget what those words mean, especially if there’s a bit of a gap between chapters. What do you all think?

Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day!

Chapter 17<—this is the chapter link, click on this to read it

Hey readers!

Just a quick note on a little something you might notice in my translation.  In Chinese danmei novels there’s a character type called “总攻” zong gong? It refers to a character who’s always the dominant, active one in a relationship, no matter how many partners they have. This is a character who consistently “tops” or takes the lead in sexual encounters, often with a more assertive personality overall.

Since “zong gong” isn’t a term everyone’s familiar with, I’ve decided to use “top” instead. I figure it’s a more universally understood way to convey the same meaning and keep things smooth for everyone reading!

I hope that’s okay, Happy reading!
