China is one thing, international markets are an entirely different animal. Qidian is still in the process of analyzing what genres and styles of books appeal most to overseas audiences, I presume that is one of the core purposes of the voting system in the first place. Personally, I find such novels interesting because even the minor characters can grant me a starting point for researching Chinese myths legends and histories which were previously unknown to me. Also, even though the pacing of this particular novel is poor and some of the MC's reactions to events questionable it is still an enjoyable quick read.

I just don't know what to say, it's like you want to present yourself as some kind of guru on how marketing and publishing works...pathetic in a forum of 50 active users.

Please stop making 3 consecutive posts, my notification appreciate it a lot.

Do you really think the 2 employees for qidian international care? Qidian is looking for translators left and right, they don't care what novel gets translated as long as its anything they have the license for. So be happy that you have 1 more novel to read instead of one less, if you don't like it then SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DONT ANNOY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY WITH YOUR BULLSHIT...thanks

lastly, keep your conspiracy theories to yourself as well, no one cares about qidians statistic in china, we are here to read the translation because we can't read Chinese...why should we bother if he fakes whatever votes there are? Does it make the novel better or worse? Does it influence us in any way?

Man you really really need to stop with your bullshit threads...or just an idea, open a thread "ssound5rs mental bullshit" and there you are free to post whatever you think.

    have you read the first 11 chapters of the novel?

    I have.

    And it is terrible.

    The author can't write. The plot is horrible. A bunch of random stuff and stupid characters.

    I dropped it and stopped Reporting Translation Mistake.

    That's how bad it is.

    I came in with some expectation that it is a good novel but it is horrible. A quick click on the RAW link to Qidian site and no wonder it is not popular in China. It's bad.

    Why waste time and money on this? A good publisher choose good novels to publish.

      The translator GY picked this title himself. I did advise him to read ahead to be extremely certain of what he would be translating. From the many titles available, this was what he decided upon so please just let fans of this title enjoy it. Qidian decides on the translators, but it is the translators who decide on the titles.

      [unknown] I only hope the only options were other bad novels.

        Mute I think the translators can choose whichever novels on QI, so their choice is BIG

            Billdoor i like how you're super straightforward with everyone. no bullshit, no sugarcoating
            definitely agree with you on this one. who cares whether the novel is popular in china, we don't have the same audience internationally, so let the readers decide whether they like it or not

              Billdoor I don't like female MC novels... but not even I have the audacity to tell the translator of the novel to quit it

              i don't read male MC novels, so i'm glad that the translators have the choice in what they want to translate. if everything is based on popular opinions, some of the female MC/romance would probably never get translated, or that there will be very few published works of that genre (which isn't much different from the current reality that we have on this site, but i'd like to think it could've been a lot worse)

                Miya r u a girl. i cant read any female mc novels, mostly because if the romance, make me feel kinda gay.
                I actually read this novel long ago , it sucked.

                    So unrelated, Qi, should implement a report system and get some moderators. I'd be happy to volunteer!

                    zswaleh The translator and editor for Mr.CEO are surprisingly men.

                    Well, you are supposed to feel gay in a female MC novel describing romance, I think. I mean if you think about it, its about the girl falling in love with a boy and the girl going crazy for the boy and the girl describing how handsome the male lead is (LMAO).

                    • I've never thought about it this way. Now that I have I've transformed into a roflcopter.

                        zswaleh real men don't fight their feminine side
                        you got to embrace the tingly sensations and all of the fluffiness that comes with it. let it define you, and be a part of you are.

                        zswaleh i cant read any female mc novels
                        I can't say the same for me, i actually got introduced to light novels via a male protagonist series called Doulou Dalu, and i enjoyed it a lot. less focus on romance and more emphasis on strength building, friendships, Opness, and everything else. i don't follow the series anymore, but it was a good starter

                              Kingfisher about the girl falling in love with a boy and the girl going crazy for the boy and the girl describing how handsome the male lead is (LMAO).

                              I read 3 female-oriented novels and only one is like that, but both the female and male are dense (really really dense). The other two aren't about romance at all. They're both about revenge.

                              Side not; yay 300 posts.
