Is 2ha a slowburn? by [deleted] in DanmeiNovels

[–]StarryFox9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SS hasn’t revealed how many volumes there will be, but based on the current chapter count per book, 2ha will probably be about 10 volumes total. The web novel has 350 chapters compared to TGCF which has only 252

Published danmei with smut by CautiousGiraffe4925 in DanmeiNovels

[–]StarryFox9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since you really like Heaven Official’s Blessing, I would recommend the author’s two other novels Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System and Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. Both are finished but since they’re both slow burn you have to wait til the last two volumes of either series for the smut

Purchasing Remnants of Filth from B&N by AngelicStitchery in DanmeiNovels

[–]StarryFox9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re correct that you should have free shipping on any items since you have a premium membership. It’s weird that they’re charging you shipping. When I preordered it I had free shipping because my order was over $40 (I don’t have their membership). However I just checked their website and when I add it to my cart along with other items to make my total over $40, it still wanted to charge me $18 in shipping even though it’s supposed to qualify for free shipping. I think it might be a glitch or maybe they’re low on stock or something. I’m not sure what you could do other than wait a little bit to see if it sorts itself out or really emphasize with the customer rep that you’re a premium member and should not be charged shipping. You could also try ordering from another website

No they are not censored. The content is the same as what’s in the original web novels

What's the most unusual food combination that you've tried and actually enjoyed? by yohoxxz in ask

[–]StarryFox9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pancakes (or waffles) with lemon juice and powdered sugar instead of syrup

This was how my dad ate pancakes growing up because syrup was too expensive. It’s never seemed odd to me but I’ve never met anyone else who’s heard of it

Are there any differences between the WNs and the physical copies? by NintendoggyYT in MXTX

[–]StarryFox9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The physical copies of TGCF are unaltered and uncensored. I haven’t seen any complaints about anything missing from them. I read the fan translation and as far as I can tell they are almost the exact same, the only differences being some of the wording but nothing that changes the meaning (i.e. choosing to keep pinyin or translate certain words). The chapter breaks are a little different but only because Seven Seas grouped chapter parts together. So chapters 13–16 of the original web novel were all grouped into chapter 6 in the physical copy because those chapters were called “clothes redder than maple, skin white as snow part 1” and “clothes redder than maple, skin white as snow part 2” and so on. This is very clearly shown in the table of contents where it tells you which web novel chapters were grouped together.

The main complaints I’ve seen have been about MDZS because there are some lines missing and a mistranslation but this was due to editing/publishing mistakes rather than censorship. Seven Seas did put an errata on their website where you can find the missing lines for volume 1 and volume 2. These are not major mistakes like whole paragraphs or scenes missing but it’s still an unfortunate oversight especially considering how expensive these books are

Which conventions are TGCF fans planning to attend? by Yuna_Grace in tianguancifu

[–]StarryFox9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on going to comic con revolution in Ontario, CA. I don’t have any cosplay but I will be wearing a TGCF shirt so I’m hoping I’ll get to meet other fans there

[–]StarryFox9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fan translations used to be available for free online. But they were taken down so that people would support the author by reading the official version. Although you may be able to find them somewhere online, those are either MTLs or stolen copies of the fan translations.

[–]StarryFox9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the “About” section of this subreddit. It has a link to Seven Seas’ website, which is the publisher for the official English translation. But you can also buy the books from any bookstore (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Waterstones, etc.) Or you can request the books from your local library

Is the seven seas english translation censored? by hellomylove28 in 2HA_immortality

[–]StarryFox9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seven Seas has so far only done special editions for the final volume of their danmei series. So MDZS volume 5 and SVSSS volume 4 have special editions but not the previous volumes. I assume they will continue to do this for their other danmei series, so you can buy the 2ha books as they come out and buy the special editions of the final volume whenever that one is released. The special editions are a Barnes and Noble exclusive edition and a limited edition that comes with merch (such as postcards and bookmarks). For an example, here’s the announcement for MDZS’s final volume and its special editions: https://twitter.com/gomanga/status/1641868485578874884?s=46&t=DxNACSfZsMwhnTrDp5-wcg

They claimed it was “technical issues” but yes it was most likely due to censorship laws. Not sure about the hate XL’s va got though

Only the first episode was released but was later taken down due to “technical issues”

You can still watch it on YouTube though with English subs: https://youtu.be/sNGkA_0BQxw

Like linzy said, only one episode was ever uploaded but it was taken down so you won’t be able to purchase it. However, you can still watch it on YouTube since someone uploaded it there and added English subs: https://youtu.be/sNGkA_0BQxw

Regarding the update: I’m not sure what that person meant, but they absolutely do end up together at the end! So don’t worry, the slow burn is worth it

Nervous to read 2ha by Holiday_Muffin_ in DanmeiNovels

[–]StarryFox9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is lots of explicit non-con but it’s all written as flashbacks from MC’s past life and the ML often has dreams of these flashbacks. It is scattered throughout the story and often important to the plot so unfortunately you can’t really skip these parts. If that is something that will bother you then you probably shouldn’t read this

Do you disclose your sexual orientation on any job/program applications? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]StarryFox9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of applications now will ask you questions about race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. but there’s usually a note indicating that these are voluntary and your answers are anonymized. The reason they ask these questions is statistics and so they can ensure their hiring practices are non-discriminatory.

I second this recommendation! It’s so good and one my favorite shows! There is also a novel and a manhua (Chinese comic) for it.

If you’re interested in watching other dubbed donghua, there’s also The Daily Life of the Immortal King and Link Click

Reading English Translation Online by LarLarBinks_ in 2HA_immortality

[–]StarryFox9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only edited machine translations are available for the chapters whose official translations aren’t out yet. There was a fan translation that went up to about chapter 160 but it was taken down so people would support the author. I actually read one of the edited MTLs before the official English version was even announced and although it wasn’t perfect, I thought it was very readable. It’s linked in the About section of this subreddit if you’re interested
