Qidian (the biggest Chinese fantasy publisher/web literature site) created www.webnovel.com and have 100+ translated novels so far on there. They are investing $10 million USD in the next few years to translate more and more of their most popular fantasy novels in China into English.
Best of all, they are free to read. So for Chinese fantasy, there are now 4 main sites www.webnovel.com www.wuxiaworld.com www.gravitytales.com www.volarenovels.com All free to read. |

On another note, history has been made.
The first ebook from Qidian (the Chinese publisher that created webnovel.com) has been released by Gravitytales, an independent subsidiary of Qidian. From the IPO listing in Hong Kong, Qidian purchased 90% of Gravitytales 2 months ago. King of Gods: Book 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076VPYVQD Zhao Feng never expected to amount to much. Coming from a small side branch of the main family sect, with only his deep commitment to hard work and perseverance to set him apart enough to allow him to be sent to the main sect for training, his prospects weren’t great. However, his left eye accidentally merging with that of an Ancient God’s changed all that in the space of a heartbeat! Suddenly Zhao Feng developed powers and abilities beyond what he’d ever dreamed, and only his imagination (and his own arrogance) could limit his potential. Will he walk the path of a great cultivator and become one of the foretold legends or will he burn up from the heat of his own glory? Will he remain a mere fish, or become the dragon his god’s eye foretells? Find out in this first installment of King of Gods Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #3,111 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store) #1 in Books > Literature & Fiction > World Literature > Asian > Chinese #7 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Myths & Legends > Asian #7 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Myths & Legends > Asian |

I finally started to read I Shall Seal The Heavens. This is good, like, really good. Just don't expect a literary masterpiece, writing is a little meh but story keeps you reading. Very simple and entertaining. Something to read after work.

Recently being reading "Against the Gods Battle" and "Stellar Transformation" - but in Chinese original versions. :-)
Wasn't aware many of these 网文/仙侠小说 (web-based novels/fantasy) had been translated into English. As a Mandarin-English translator I am curious about how the translation would read like - will check them out. :-) Last edited by movingthinker; 12-20-2017 at 09:46 PM. |

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!
If I want to download "I Shall Seal The Heavens," I have to download - INDIVIDUALLY - 1,613 chapters? What's the best way to get this without acquiring carpel tunnel syndrome? |

There is this: https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub
FanFicFare also works, I think. PS. I found them on the internet by searching for epub. PPS. I am at the third book right now, it gets better and better. Quality of translations also rises. Considering I have read about 2000 pages, yes, I recommend this. Last edited by GERGE; 12-15-2017 at 04:31 PM. |

I've been reading the whole crowd that..
when you started to read Chinese Novels, just start to read from title that completely translated. Completely Translated Chinese Novel List Quote:
1. Lord Xue Ying by IET (the most awesome power system) 2. Mars Gravity Novels (why dont connect the myth power to real life) 3. My Wife is a Beautiful CEO (Real Life with Xianxia power, with best romance) 4. Epoch of Twilight (Post Apocaliptic theme with best sense of explanation) 5. Emperor of the Cosmos & Galactic Dark Net ( nice premise) 6. |
