    I read the first book or part of cradle and did not like it, I even got banned from novel translation because I said I found it mid because apparently Will was a “friend of the sub” 🙄. Guess the cringe mods aren’t as bad as r/progressivefantasy which is run by a bunch of authors that just banned people from posting books with AI generated covers.

    I hadn’t read this. Hilarious and ridiculous.

    On the 1st one maaaaybe depending on how you phrased it, some people sound very aggressive like “author X is a dumbfuck and this is so mediocre, no effort went into this, my dog could write better by shitting onto a pigeon (he did this btw) so I’m not gonna buy the 2nd one and if you do you’re a cuck”, but then again some people are very sensitive.

    The 2nd one is… what? 👀 I can’t. Been like 3 minutes looking at the screen thinking about it lmao. No words.

      The thing is I wasn’t planning on getting banned at worst I wrote that it was shit which really isn’t too weird of a comment and I’ve seen people call other novels and readers worse on that sub. The mods just really bootlick the author. Since you would not get banned for saying similar things about other novels, I don’t even think I went even that far with my language.

      The progressionfantasy mods are just preying on authors with less money and told people to just pay for artists. People in comments were VERY unhappy with that announcement. But ye good drama I couldn’t believe it either.

              Yeah if you want I can also post some general guides, though I think that a community like that will never be as big and active as it was in the old days. At least it won’t require much moderation.

                Yeah I was thinking that. That’s why I decided to not make it like r/MartialMemes or r/Xianxia. Too overly specific and we’ll get like one post every 2 months and that’s gonna be me any time I open a new book. But at least there were like 5 people in this thread interested in Chinese literature so I was like, that’s cool, time for the community I’d been yearning since I joined (first thing in my bio lol).

                  Yeah I think I read (mostly halfway to quarter way through) all the xianxia novels that I found interesting and wouldn’t mind finding something new. Going to read the 3 body problem soon before it gets made into the netflix series.

                    My dad was reading that and I started seeing it everywhere. I’ll download it then and see if it’s interesting when I have free time.

                    Currently also rereading your much hated Cradle
