I’ve noticed this especially in cbooks. Everything and everyone are all alphabets.
Yes, because thinking about a name is not easy. It's wasting time to work so hard on insignificant characters. So, giving them name like woman A or girl B is practical. Some books even use City A, Country B to avoid criticism if they describe the place inaccurately. 😁😆
What do their "names" translate to English Chu Qi etc?
I don't know what "Chu" means. Shadow, maybe? They don't give us the Hanji on the screen, but I know Yi, Er, San, Si, Wu, Liu, and Qi are number 1-7 in Chinese. 😁 That's why I laughed when Xia Hou Dan introduced the shadow guards to Yu Wan Yin.
So first he is Zhang San that’s just the younger him I’m not sure if he was forced to be renamed they haven’t…
Zhang San is his name in real life. He transmigrates into a comic and becomes Xia Hou Dan. It's like Wang Cui Hua transmigrates and becomes Yu Wan Yin.
Well, Wan Yin, because they are insignificant characters in the novel. ADWAD did it, too. Passerby A... Passerby B. 😆😆😆
