Hey guys,

I'm Avocado, and if you are not aware, I am the sole translator for BOTH the manhua and the novel of this series, and tons more. But without much ado, I'll go straight into the main reason why I am making this announcement.

Spoilers through the google translation of this novel has been posted relentlessly since the moment this series started and people became aware of the novel. (FYI I have no problem with spoilers, as long as it is tagged) Also increasing when a MTL site has released all 200+ chapters of this novel. (MTL = Machine Translation)

This has significantly impacted my motivation to continue working on this novel.

Since then, I have noticed that many of you much more prefer the MTLed site that hosts the google translated version of this novel.

I understand that my translations for the novel are slow and there are even rumors that I have stopped translating this series as a whole. (Not true, never was)

As much as I would love to continue translating this novel officially, I have realized that I, a human who isn’t translating as a full time job, cannot compete with a machine.

Many people prefer a fast read rather than a more accurate translation, and I can confidently say that *MTLed content makes mistakes*, and often as well.

This is an issue that affect tons of other non-profit translators who does this, just like me. But there is nothing we can do to stop it.

We will never be able to catch up to the speed of a computer.

Ultimately, this does NOT mean that I will stop translating the novel, but it does mean that I will no longer take this novel as a top priority project amongst many others. (I have learned that the quality does not matter in face of the quantity, seeing that this series is over 200+ chapters long.) The translated version of of the Manhua will remain updating, as of this post, on Mangadex weekly. (And then reposted here even though our thingy says not to, I won't tell I promise, teehee!)

Here are some links if you wish to support the translation of the novel and the scanlation group behind the manhua:

I'm on mangago often and I will reply to any questions you may have in the comments, but if you have any questions or concerns or even how to support the original artists, feel free to DM me on discord:

Happy reading and much love,
Avocado.

    I saw the machine translation and couldn't read it. It just doesn't make sense most of the time, I can't stomach it. The words are the grammar are all over the place. I appreciate your work, both the manga and the novel. It's ok if u r slow. I will just wait. Plz don't be discouraged. I will be sad if you stopped translating.

    Even thought I didn't read anything of this story beside what's posted here, I'm sure the google translated version will make me laugh at the discussion more than enjoy the story.
    If this isn't going to be dropped than I'm happy (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    Nuuu! Google translation sucks and nothing make sense!!! Thank you for working so hard for us. We will wait patiently for your updates (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

    PearlySkies January 11, 2020 3:46 pm

    I completely understand your decision to make other projects your priority, and thank you so much still translating this series. I can’t imagine how stressful it must be to try translating both works consistently. I can’t thank you enough!!

    I want to read in a blackbox.. easy to understand. but I decided to read it after it completed.

    Mika January 11, 2020 4:37 pm

    thanks for all your hard work Avacado! i personally love your translations and wait for each chapter of the novel & manhua! you have all my love (▰˘◡˘▰)

    Uwwuu you did a great good Avocado ~~~

    Sekiryu January 17, 2020 12:03 pm

    Avacado - thank you for your translation I did read what I could find and was far superior to the ... other that I finally had to give up on. Thanks for the Discord link. I'm sorry people can be such jerks I know that getting these stories ready for those of us who only speak the one language is hard work and usually a work of love. I for one am grateful for the quality, and the other ... well there's just no comparison. Thank you again.

    I much preferred your translations. Ive tried to translate a comic using mtl and it brought me more questions than answers. X'D waiting is no problem for me. I want to help but.. i tried to help before and it did not go that well--my skills werent fit. (Drawing vs photoshop skills for cleaning mangas.)

    Plus..what can i help when im not fluent in chinese. QAQ. Ill be here for moral support.

Hey Guys, apparently there is a new Feng Yu Jiu Tian manhua that came out a while ago and I just found out. (The art isn't as good imo to tbh) but if you want to check it out:

    You mean that? They change it to webtoon? ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

    yushie November 21, 2019 12:10 am

    After reading it I still like the old one, but this version also not bad, it gives a comedy vibe, FM look really childish, in the old version he looks a smart youngster with a little bit of childish

    Flower December 21, 2019 8:22 am

    Omgg!!! I hope they translate it!

    Mici Angels January 7, 2020 1:56 am

    I'm glad it's picked up but the artstyle the old one has is massively superior. New one is too simple, already seen a 100times kind of art.
    Still I hope they pick it up for translating

Idk maybe I've read the novel or another ver of the Manhua but Im like 80 % sure there is another ver of this plot I've seen (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 (There is an Audio Drama of this Im 100% sure)
--
Lol so many people are shitting on the artist (in the raws) for not putting enough effort to the art saying that they're too lazy to do the line (Cause the free chaps in the front had line art but not the paid chaps later) Yikes, but tbh i think pure coloring is so much harder than doing line lmaoo( ̄∇ ̄")

    takame September 20, 2019 9:59 pm

    as i've answered below im pretty sure this one has no novel

Hey guys~
Avocado here!
As promised, the Novel TL is FINALLY HERE! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I'm the TL for both this manhwa series as well as the novel. I will do my best to try to keep the two TLs fairly consistent for your viewing. I highly *suggest* you not to MTL for spoilers as MTL might not be the most accurate and I will try my best to update as soon as possible. I hope you guys enjoy this series as much as I do and I'll see you guys around~
Love,
Avocado ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

    Hmm...
    I'm doing this cause I want to share my love of this novels to others as well. I'm trying my best to maybe push at least one chap a week. Rn one chap a day since it just started, but I don't want to kill my editor ~ (╥﹏╥) The main novel is 210 chapters and 25 extras. Each chapter is fairly short compared to most other Historical CNovels so don't worry lol. So it might take a while. I try my best, but I'm more motivated when you guys leave comments and stuff haha. *gets hit* ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ
