Chapter 18.1 – Protagonist: Give it back to me

Chapter 18 has just been published. <– click

Demon form

Remember what the author said about demons in chapter 1? “The Demons gave away their mercy, received destruction.” As Du Ze said, the demons have the strongest individual fighting power. This is probably because they have the “destruction” skill.

Demons have bat-like wings and horns. They can fly and they are super OP! They don’t have a forked tail, though.

demon form xiu

I would have thought the demon form would have tattoos and piercings but I guess that is not a thing in the novel. It seems like their favored accessory is a sharp weapon and blood …

Eek!

Thanks for reading this story and please do leave a comment if you like it.

Chapter 17.2 – Thanks for all the comments

Chapter 17.2 The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Chapter 17.2 is cool. Thank you for all the comments. I read all of them. I don’t reply much since I am busy with the daily updates but I love reading all of your comments on the story. Click on the embedded post above to read chapter 17.2. I’m trying this new method of linking, do you like it?

The 72 Demon Cities

Now, here is a little bit of info about the setting. The 72 cities in the reverse side of the continent are each dedicated to a powerful demon god that is worship but the cities’ inhabitants. When Ye Zhi Qiu wrote “Mixed Blood”,  he was lazy. He just directly copied the 72 demons from the legend of the demons that King Solomon summoned and controlled.

There actually is a book that lists all 72 of them, including their names, appearance, and attributes. The Ars Goetia describes them.

Chapter 17.1 – Protagonist: He is mine

Chapter 17.1 The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love click here to read it

So you all read the previous chapter? Yeah, I was surprised, too. When I first read that I realized that there is a reason why Du Ze almost never speaks. The poor guy has a complex about his “weird” voice. Deaf people can’t hear themselves clearly so their speech can sound strange. However, Du Ze uses his hearing aid now. His speech is probably fine but his social barrier is really high.

What did Xiu actually say?

Left: What Du Ze thinks happened. Check out the bigger, pleading eyes and sparkly background. Right: What Xiu actually said. Notice it has a dark background and Xiu’s eyes are quite fierce.

Well, the title of that chapter is “Do not leave my line of sight.” I am pretty sure that is what Xiu said. It’s just that earlier, Xiu had tested Du Ze but our favorite heroic youth thought it was Xiu softening. Also, I really think that Du Ze is a shotacon who is weak when it comes to small, cute things.

Du Ze thought that Xiu was like a little kid pleading for mommy not to leave. But Xiu is more of a possessive master who doesn’t like it when his toy/lunch leaves.

Chapter 16.2 – No footnotes

Chapter 16.2 is here. <— click there

Other Novels Worth Reading

I will be publishing a “BL recs” post (or maybe a permanent page) where I will ramble on about the stories that I like.

The Overbearing Aura is Spilling Over – a hilarious story of an ordinary otaku who transmigrated as a cannon fodder villain. Read chapter one here or visit the story’s page on NU.

The Big Landlord – a man transmigrated into a fantasy world similar to Ancient China. He became the eldest son who has to take over the family business after his parents died. His sister, who is engaged to be married, ran away. MC has to take her place as the bride. This is a funny and fluffy story. Read chapter one or visit the NU page.

These two stories need more love! Please go and comment if you liked them. The current translator picked the stories up as teasers and will continue translating if there is any interest for those projects. We need more BL stories!

Thank you for reading.

Chapter 16.1 Reader: I have not betrayed you

Chapter 16.1 of The Reader and Protagonist – click on the link to read it. The title of the chapter is a bit ominous.

Du Ze is weak when it comes to cute things

shotacon du ze

The silly Du Ze is weak when it come to cute little things. All Xiu has to do is look up at him with those big, amber eyes and Du Ze just caves in.

His face is impassive but inside he’s like “OMG! Cute!”

Yesterday I asked about the names of the races but it seems like most people are fine with the ones that I am using. Therefore, I decided not to change anything. Thank you for the feedback.

Chapter 15.2 The Reader and Protagonist

 Chapter 15.2 The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love <— Let’s read it there.

By the way, I am having second thoughts about the race names and their proper English translation. The author wrote the race names in English on his blog: Human, Orc, Angel, Demon, Elf, Dragonkin, Elyos and Asmodian. I changed Orc to Beastkin; Elyos to Angel; and Asmodian to Demon. Do you think I should use the author’s preferred English names?

I did initially use Orc but people preferred Beastkin. As for Elyos and Asmodian, most people have not played Aion so they wouldn’t know what those two race names mean. I think those names are actually copyrighted…

I love Du Ze (and Xiu, too)

Du Ze is super cute!

You know what I think is the best thing about Reader and Protagonist? The main character is super funny. He works hard but keeps his sense of humor about everything.  He is very determined and smart even though he has no fighting skills. I love Du Ze a lot! I want to pick him up and cuddle him.

Chapter 1 Release – New Project! Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me

Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me (This is a new project)

First chapter release! Hooray! ~ sprinkle flowers ~ Chapter 1 is here <— click on that link to read it. The summary and details about the story are in the project page. This will have a weekly release schedule for this story while The Reader and Protagonist will continue to have daily updates.

I picked this new story because it seems fun and comedic in tone. I have actually skimmed up to chapter 39. This means I know the basic outline but I am still weak when it comes to details. The first chapter was pretty rough going for me but I hope that the quality will improve as I get more used to the author’s style of writing.

By the way, the System is very annoying because of its irregular speech patterns. I sometimes don’t know what to make of what it is saying. *sigh*

Chapter 15.1 Protagonist: Do not leave my line of sight.

Chapter 15.1 is here. <— click on that link to read it. The Gnome x Shotacon games continue. Seriously, how much of a shotacon is Du Ze?! I really laugh every time he describes Xiu. I wanna grab Xiu and pinch his cheeks! … No, not those cheeks, I mean his face, okay?

Though if he was fine with it then …

New project launched!

It’s here, the new project that I have been working on. The titles sound similar because they both have “protagonist” in them but it is not related to “The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love.” However, the plot is somewhat similar since they both feature the plot element “OMG I was transported into the world of a web novel, eek!”

Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me announcement post. I plan to have weekly updates for that story while Reader and Protagonist will continue to have daily updates.

I think he needs to have a more paranoid/suspicious look, lol.

Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me – I need beta readers

Looking for beta readers

Hi everyone, so you may or may not have noticed that I have a new project lined up. It’s Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me. If anyone is willing, could you head on over to the first chapter?

It’s just the first draft. I think it’s okay right now (I wouldn’t have published it if it wasn’t) but I would like to have some feedback.

You don’t have to do anything super complicated. Just read it and let me know what you think. I would especially like to know if there are any typos, grammatical errors, or translation errors. You can just leave a comment on the first chapter’s page.

Hmm, if possible I would also like to get some more advanced feedback. Don’t be shy, if you have a suggestion that can improve some phrases, sentences, or even paragraphs, speak up. I won’t be upset since I am actively asking for feedback.

Some translation stuff:

The title of the novel is 主角每天都想攻略我. This is a bit difficult to translate since 攻略  seems to have many meanings. I initially wanted to title it “The protagonist wants to XXX me every day” but I felt it sounds too suggestive. *cough* The story is actually not R18.

Alternative titles would be:

The protagonist wants to woo me every day

The protagonist wants to guide me every day

Every day the protagonist wants to pursue me

Before I add this title to novelupdates, which title is actually the best??? I want to know your thoughts. A title is very important since it can attract or turn off potential readers.

The raw is here – http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=2878285&chapterid=1

Thank you for reading this.
