WELCOME Yuui THE TRANSLATOR OF “ Gu Daoist Master ”

TRANSLATOR’S THOUGHTS

Hello, my name is Yuui (you can call me yuu), and I am in charge of Gu Daoist Master. Not only the novel, but I'm in loveee with Chinese's culture and language. And since the story displayed the use of Chinese language in such a beautiful way, I hope I will be able to transfer it to you guys in the most perfect way that I can. This story itself is awesome. You will be able to see how genius the author is. There were plenty of times when I was translating, and I just couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise. And as I mentioned above, the use of language is just beautiful. The author used poems and lots of terms with profound meanings. As for the plot, I love the main character. I think among all the typical types of main character you often see in other novels; he definitely stands out a lot. I don't want to say too much, or else it will become a spoiler, haha. So please enjoy the story, and thank you for your support.

READ

AUTHOR’S FOREWORD

<Gu Daoist Master> is very different from the normal common novels. The main character of this novel isn't a righteous man, but a villain BOSS.

He acts unscrupulously, frames the loyal, and kills the innocent. Nevertheless, at the same time, he is persevering, self-disciplines, courageous and adventurous. He has a resolute goal and is never shaken by the criticism of the outside world.

I wrote this novel, not to promote evil. But by shaping an unusual main character, I want to describe a peculiar world of Gus, letting us stand in a new perspective to experience this wonderful, and unreal life.

Ultimately, we will reflect on our own self, our lives, and our society.

I hope this book will bring happiness yet be helpful to our readers.

AUTHOR’S WORDS TO THE TRANSLATOR

Thank you all the translators for your hard work. I know translating mythical novels is not easy; especially when you have to translate so many China's unique elements into a foreign language but still make it appropriate yet able to maintain its profound meaning.

Thank you very much for your great effort. I am looking forward to seeing the translated version of 《Gu Daoist Master》.
