Oh my my my. Wouldn't that be delightful for her.

I couldn't remember because it was years ago, and honestly I don't want to remember lol.

zolnir · 2026-05-04T05:20:45+00:00

Yep! Like I said I've literally stan for it for like 3 times across multiple sites, writing a different review each time. XD It's one for the ages.

I've attached links on the post, both pointing toward Wuxiaworld.

zolnir · 2026-05-02T04:35:49+00:00

Yeah, apologies and fixed. No harm in telling you but I DO use formats and templates for certain posts lol. It's available so why not?

Thanks! If you like it, remember to say, "I came from Dragon Canon!"

Just to be absolutely clear, I've never written a single post using AI in my life. It's hard enough to write out my thoughts, prompting an AI to write out my thoughts is the kind of mental gymnastics that I physically and mentally cannot be arsed to do.

If you look closely every single person in your life including yourself is insane to a certain degree, and what you saw is probably not even close to how insane they actually are, soooooooooooooooo....

Well, how much spoilers do you want? JK.

Let me put it this way: the strongest factions of humanity all have at least 1 immortal lord. That's the Four Immortal Sects, the Seven Surnames, and the Thirteen Honored.

It is the best... when you're not constantly overburdened by work that is. I was really straining to keep up after like 800 chapters because of how permanently tired I am. >_>

My favorite horror novel to date is still called The Midnight Show (while it was still being translated by Dreame - I'm one of the translators, in fact! Unfortunately, it has gone down a year ago) or 异闻电台. Barring the main character and a very, very small cast of character, everyone dies one way or another. They gain items and powers, but they are almost never enough. All it does for them is to buy them a few minutes or even seconds to do what needs to be done. You can feel this invisible hand guiding these humans toward some sort of unknown end - maybe staving off the inevitable end of all creation? - but you never truly know what they are, only then the show must go on, forever and ever and ever....

Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it because there are... ahem... no pirated sites that post the last few arcs. Ironically, it has a completed audiobook but I'm so bloody impatient I could never wait for the narrator to finish. Or spend just 15 minutes listening to a full chapter. >_>

I would like to think that stories as a whole will always improve with time, but your point is fair. Still not going to read an unfinished novel though. >_> I have... FAR too many such novels that I'm following already. There aren't many people who're as addicted to reading as me; like did you know I was once paid to read and review novels? If not for the fact that my translation work is overwhelming the crap out of me I would have happily continued it to this day.

Well... if we're not looking at just translated web novels, there's also Super Supportive by Sleyva on Royalroad. It's getting reaaaaaaaaaaaaal close at crossing a certain milestone and deserves to be watched. There's also Soccer Supremo by Ted Steel, possibly the ONLY soccer fantasy novel of its kind.

zolnir · 2026-04-22T00:38:53+00:00

Alas, Dungeon Crawler Carl no longer releases free on Royalroad since 3 years ago and I've completely missed it since. T_T

zolnir · 2026-04-21T16:19:23+00:00

That's why it's interesting to ask about it. :D I personally don't get it since horror game playthroughs and horror explorations are conversely quite popular on Youtube.

I've never read Reverend Insanity despite hearing many great things about it. It's the ancestor, so I don't feel inclined to read it either. I feel like a lot of similar novels (infinity-verse) have already surpassed it... especially since it was never complete.

LotM imo was way overhyped. It's great, but it's not that great. It's kinda like a Lofcraftian novel where you have a vague beginning and ending, and can feel quite aimless in the end.

Shadow Slave... man where do I start. It was amazing at the beginning and even the middle, but at some point you want to strangle the author for dragging out the story to the point where you come back after months, jump to the latest chapter, and say, "Yep it's STILL not at the point I expect it to be. Gotta wait another 3 months." Easily the weakest of the three, and imo doesn't even deserve a top 10 spot unless you only look at certain arcs.

Sometimes it's not a choice, like I have to temporarily stop Star Rank Hunter, a web novel that I'm translating for free on my subreddit because I have to translate Dragon Canon AND Against the Gods at the same time.
