Why i am so infatuated with Wuxia 武侠 / Xianxia 仙侠小说 Novels. (Introduction in a way.)

in #novel7 years ago (edited)

Growing up, I was bored with nothing much to do and would often find something to do to kill time. But that all changed when I found an novel online called Tales of Demons & Gods (妖神记) heck it was good. I started binge reading it for days to end without rest just because I want to know its ending and people around me were surprise me reading for the whole day. Now these novels are chinese novels and there are different variations of them whether they are based of fantasy or modern martial arts. The authors of these novels created them in chinese but fret not there are translators who translate them to english! The author of these books always want their books to reach an larger audience not bounded by the language barrier even translators who do not get paid still carry on to translate. I'm too grateful to them for translating an type of novel that originally that I could not read. Then after I finished the novel, I started hunting. I hunted on the internet for a novel that would suit my tastes, I would read the first chapter and introduction and would read both positive and negative reviews to see if the novel is truly worth reading. I dropped countless novels for numerous reasons, one can be NTR and Harem...i'm sure some of you know these terms. But, i always seemed to find a novel that i liked and it was always hundreds of chapters long(Me happy.) I always cry and complain inside when there are only a few chapters and have to wait weeks for the new chapters to be published. But the work of translators are to be appreciated even if they translate novels which are disliked by the majority. I found myself with tons of complicated words that I had never heard of, thats why I kept searching the dictionary for their definitions because I donot want to lose out on what i am reading. Thankfully I persevered on and my grammar improved tremendously! Reading something that you love to read and learning english grammar at the same time! the best of both worlds! Peers around me were dumbfounded at me being able to cite synonyms in front of elementary words. I want to share this wonderful type of novels with you all that you might not have even seen before. They mix chinese history and mythology and suit a variety of tastes. The website http://www.novelupdates.com/ is a catalouge for these novels, yes they are niche novels but so what? You can use advanced search and browse around summaries to find what you like, donot always listen to reviews though. Thank You for taking your time to read the whole thing, and I invite you to go on that website and pick a novel that interests you and start reading on to not only improve your english but your satisfaction! READ ON!
