TRANSLATOR’S THOUGHTS
Hello, everyone! CKtalon here. I'm happy to collaborate with Qidian on the novels, True Martial World and Absolute Choice and I look forward to posting at my regular pace in the past. Through my interactions with the authors of the said works, I'm very happy that they can officially be given their due recognition to more foreign readers.
True Martial World (TMW) currently has more than a thousand chapters released and translated. It is one of the few Chinese web novels out there that is translated nearly in sync with its release in China! It is written by Cocooned Cow, who wrote Martial World (MW). TMW also happens to be the sequel to MW, with some connections happening mid-story. It is of the eastern fantasy genre, meaning there are lots of eastern mystic elements. The storytelling is meant to be a rich, detailed and logical and it tells of a young adult named Yi Yun. He comes from modern Earth and had stumbled unwittingly into a world where strength reigns supreme. He begins his journey to the peak of existence with a purple card of unknown origin!
If you like a story about adversity and wit, embellished with humor, you should definitely follow TMW!
Absolute Choice (AC) is a story, unlike most Chinese web novels. It is inspired by Chinese and Japanese storytelling techniques with the author's own spin on things. Through his well-written sense of foreshadowing, he catches you unaware as the plot develops.
The main character, Shi Xiaobai, a child from normal Earth, had walked into a world filled with heroes with superpowers. He proclaims to be its king. But at the first signs of danger, he is forced to make a choice, one which he cannot refuse for time would repeat, making him face the choice again.
He is not humble nor is he modest, but neither is he delusional. Yet, the Absolute Choice seems to make fun of him. Will the joke be on him or will he laugh at his opponents? There will be many watching his escapades, and there will be some joining him in his adventures.
To see through the world and to grasp its truth, that is the destiny of the King.
If you enjoy ruminating over every single word in your novels for clues foreshadowing the future, and love to be shocked and filled with intrigue, definitely follow AC!
