Hey everyone! The forum is getting livelier, so I thought that maybe it's about time we started introducing ourselves. First thing's first, I'm an editor for novels, Jun Jiuling, Global Evolution, Pursuit of the Truth, and one not released yet. I also worked for a bit on Castle of Black Iron and The Wizard World, and now that the boring part is over, a few things about me
I go by the nickname DarkGem, which comes from a poem I read once about my favorite character Raistlin Majere. He’s from a fantasy novel universe Dragonlance, and fantasy is exactly where my interests have been all my life. From the moment I was taught to read, books have never left my hands. Books, then my phone, so I would have my stories always with me.
I only recently ended up stumbling upon the Chinese Novel translations, less than a year ago to be more precise, but I instantly fell in love with them. The first one I read was The King’s Avatar on Gravity Tales, and since I’ve always loved playing MMORPG’s (the picture above is from DDO, and I doubt you’ll ever manage to guess my class), even though I’ve moved to moba’s now, it was a blast. Soon after, I started reading cultivation novels, other game novels, romance, and anything I could get my hands on. I don’t really mind what’s the genre or type (though magic gains a lot of points from me) as long as I get a good story to read.
My way into Qidian was quite a simple one. I saw when they just started out and decided to try my luck at their editor’s test. It was a type of personal challenge, and to my great delight, I actually succeeded! It was a very happy day since I finally got a job doing what I actually like for once. Yes, as you can guess, I’m one of those people that ended up studying something to have bread on the table rather than something they would love doing… Life’s choice’s aren’t easy.
Anyway, moving on from the depressing topic, right now I’m living a good life. Working for QI, having plenty of free time to read and play, and chatting with others editors and translators I’ve become good friends with. Some of whom ‘taunted’ me into making a big decision in my life. I’ve always wanted a pet but never got around to getting one, always finding one excuse or another. But recently, one editor who kept saying he’ll never get a cat for reasons of his own got two. And he was overjoyed with them. Thus, I decided it was time to stop delaying and do something I’ve always wanted.
So here I am now with a lovely not-purebred Maine Coon in my apartment. She’s the little princess of my heart, and I no longer can imagine living without her. And being forced to work with a certain four-legged someone in my hand since she really really wants to sleep in my arms...
