The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System Vol. 2 in the Amazon bestseller lists!

The official English translation of the second volume was just released a few days ago (April 19, 2022), and it’s already on the Amazon bestseller lists. People are loving it, and there are lots of great reviews. If you haven’t seen the official illustrations yet, tons of readers left photos of their haul which you can see on the Amazon product page.

There are also a few complaints, of course, but that is only to be expected. A few people said that the covers of the paperback version that they received were slightly damaged, and there was one person who said that the chapters are too long.

My favorite interview is the one that simply says “I love how chaotic it is.” It’s only six words, and yet that person perfectly summed up my feelings.

COVID-19 – Finally healed?!

Finally! As you may or may not know, I got sick months ago, but I was still feeling a little under the weather for a long time after that. Yesterday, I realized that my cough finally went away. Yay! Let’s hope that it’s gone forever now.

I’ll try to take good care of myself, drink lots of water, and sleep properly for my lungs to recover.

I already got vaccinated twice, so all I need now is a booster shot.

How about you? Are you guys okay?

Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone can stay safe and healthy!

Just a lingering cough

I have now almost completely recovered from what I suspect was the Omicron variant of COVID 19. The only thing left now is a slight, lingering cough and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Maybe also a bit of general fatigue? But not a lot. My throat is sore and any little bit of smoke or irritant that I breathe in seems to make me cough, but if I’m indoors with good quality air I feel okay.

The only thing I’m doing to help cure my cough is to rest and drink a lot of water along with my usual asthma meds that I always take anyway.

I think I’m gonna survive! 👌

Thanks for reading. I hope you are all well. Stay safe and have fun today!

The Coronavirus and Me

You know there’s this virus that’s been going around? Yeah, it got me! Actually, it wasn’t just me. It was my whole family.

We don’t know if it was actually COVID 19 since we didn’t get tested, but it was quite unlike any illness we’ve had before. There are five people in our family and whenever one person gets sick, the others can normally avoid getting infected by simply avoiding the sick person, but this time was strange. Since we suspected it was COVID-19, we wore masks and washed our hands frequently. None of that worked, and we all got sick.

The reason why we think it’s the Coronavirus is it spread to all of us. That’s never happened to us in the past with infectious diseases like flu, colds, and even pneumonia. *sigh* I guess this virus is just extremely contagious.

One by one, we started feeling tired. Then there was a fever that lasted for a few hours along with a general feeling of malaise. The next day, we got nasal congestion followed by a cough.

By the way, all of us are vaccinated. I was hoping that the vaccine would stop us from getting sick, but either it wasn’t COVID-19, or we all had a breakthrough infection. Who knows? The important thing is that we all survived.

How about you, dear reader? Have you been well?

Keep strong, everyone! Stay safe.

Cat’s Tea (Mao Zhi Ming) animation released!

Whoa, I can’t believe the Mao Zhi Ming (猫之茗) Chinese webcomic got an adaptation. Titled “Cat’s Tea,” the donghua or Chinese animation series has a cute “chibi” art style with a colorful palette. It’s quite fun to watch.

cat's tea

Myanimelist link – https://myanimelist.net/anime/49380/Mao_Zhi_Ming

Description:

One day, a young lady named Jasmine transmigrated into the Tea Continent that was populated by beastmen. Later she met the Siberian Husky beastman Long Jing, the tsundere Red Fox girl Qi Hong, and the elegant young master of the Samoyed clan, Pu Er. Unexpectedly, Jasmine discovered that she was the prophesied legendary magician. Thus starts the tale of cats flying and dogs jumping!

Note: Samoyed and Siberian Husky are dog breeds. Also, the characters’ names are all names of different types of tea.

The story and characters are really cute. My only complaint is that the episodes are too short. It’s free to watch on the official website (in Chinese) – https://www.bilibili.com/bangumi/media/md28223054/

You can probably find subtitled versions on popular anime websites.

Thanks for reading!

Cheating Men Must Die and why translation is hard

Have you read the webcomic “Cheating Men Must Die”? The original title is 万渣朝凰 which in no way translates as “Cheating Men Must Die.” Mangaupdates gives the suggested translation as “Phoenix Among Scum” and “King of The Phoenix” in English. Interestingly, the Korean title is 환생 해결사 , which is something like “Reincarnation Solver/Fixer.”

So what does the original title mean? Well, first of all, it’s probably a reference to the 百鸟朝凤, a four-character idiom or chengyu. The literal meaning is “all birds pay homage to the Phoenix.” The story behind it is that the Phoenix was a wise and industrious bird who gathered food all year round. During a famine, the Phoenix saved the other birds from starvation and as thanks, the other birds plucked their most beautiful feathers from their body to give to the Phoenix.

The webcomic’s title simply changed the character 百 (lit. a hundred) to 万 (lit. ten thousand) and 鸟 (bird) to 渣 (scum). So the actual title is “Ten Thousand Scum Pay Homage to the Phoenix.” Wow, that’s a  lot!

In addition, the metaphorical meaning of 百鳥朝鳳 is that “under a wise ruler the people live in peace and prosperity” and also, “all girls gravitate towards a supreme beauty.” Therefore, one could translate the title 万渣朝凰 as “All Scum Gravitate Towards a Supreme Beauty.”

Language is awesome, isn’t it?

Description:

Crushing a scumbag for a single moment gives momentary satisfaction, but lifetimes spent crushing scumbags provide lifetimes of continuous satisfaction. Su Lüxia, our female lead, transmigrates into other worlds with the Second Female Lead Counterattack System, and uses elaborate schemes and tricks to beat up countless cheating bastards and bitches.

Su Lüxia: “Only a cheating bastard’s tears of remorse, and the pained moans of a bitch unable to get what she wants, bring me solace.”

System: “Has my host tapped into her humanity today? Nope.”

I May Be a Mob but Because My Favorite Is Here, Everyday Is Fun

This manga is also known as “I May Be a Mob, but Because My Bias is Here Everyday is Fun” and “Mob dakedo Oshi ga Ikiterukara Mainichi ga Tanoshii.” Mangaupdates link – https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=177782

It’s really funny, but don’t take it too seriously. The two main characters are hilarious! I hope it remains fluffy until the end.

Summary:

Mariko Takahashi was reborn into the world of an otome game. However, she was not the main character, villainess, or a capture target. Instead, she’s merely a mob character. After seeing her favorite character – Taiga – for the first time, she immediately confesses her love for him. From that day onwards, the strange relationship between the two began.

The Strongest Characters in the World are Obsessed With Me

I’ve found a new webcomic to read! 세계관 최강자들이 내게 집착한다 – it’s translated a couple of different ways, but it’s basically about a girl who reincarnated into a magical world as the little sister of a capture target in a yandere otome game.

cute webcomic

The Most Powerful Characters in the World Are Obsessed With Me – One day, when a thirteen year old was chewing on some bread that came out as a snack, Dahlia Pesteros suddenly remembered her past life. This was the world of the tragic otome game where the characters went crazy, and she was born as the person who would become the greatest villain in the future’s younger sister! At this rate, there was no answer. The household would be exterminated, and I would also get my head cut off. That’s why I have to get out of this household as fast as possible!

P.S. Her brother had long white hair, and I have a weakness for that!
