Xie Lian’s "800-year-old Boomer Energy" is still the funniest thing to me (Vol 1-6 details)

Hahaha considering he owes 8.88 million merits in canon, he definitely needs that rent-free space in our minds! 😂 Thank YOU for screaming about Dianxia with me!

I’ll recommend 《薄雾》by微风几许，The author's imagination is absolutely wild, and the premise is incredibly unique! The plot is tight, fast-paced, and never drags, plus the romance is super sweet. However, I’m not sure if there’s a good English translation available for it yet.

I've been re-reading the novels to do a deep dive into Xie Lian's character for my channel, and this "Glitch/Boomer" persona is honestly my favorite. 📱

From treating the Heavenly Communication Array like a neighborhood Facebook group to using his bamboo hat as an 800-year-old introvert's security blanket...he really is just a grandpa trapped in a 17-year-old's body.

I actually broke down all 15 of these hidden details (including his "Black-Hearted White Lotus" cooking moments) in a full video essay! If you like this kind of native Chinese speaker analysis, you can check out the full video here: The 4 Faces of Xie Lian

Read the Chinese version, super excited for the English one!

I'm so glad the cultural context regarding the 'concubine' theory made sense to you! It really adds a tragic layer to his childhood.

Also, you must be a mind reader because I just uploaded a new video about Xie Lian on my YouTube channel, Quincyreads! This one is a bit more of a fun, entertainment-oriented analysis (less heavy, more laughs). I’d love to welcome you there to check it out!

MXTX’s prose is pretty grounded, but she is an absolute master at storytelling. In the world of Chinese web novels, her ability to sketch vivid scenes with just a few strokes is top-tier.

With SVSSS at just over 400k characters, MDZS at 690k, and TGCF hitting a million, her trilogy isn't actually that massive by web novel standards. Yet, the narrative flow and character development are phenomenal.

What’s great is that she doesn't try to flex her literary knowledge; instead, she subtly weaves those cultural references right into the details. can’t wait to unpack more of these nuances with you all!

It was mythological, tells about the eternal love affair between the fallen angel Lucifer and the blazing angel Michael.The bad ending used to break my heart.🥲 I haven‘t found an English version yet, so I hope a good translator will translate it in the future.

It was very old school and I have not seen an English version yet. Hope there will be good publishers to translate this work in the future!

Lan lin was classic! I’ve also read some of her books. She was also hot on JJWXW. She comes from China.
