I've always been like this lol It took me 4 days for TGCF and about a week for 2ha. Lmao I did read the whole Harry-Potter-series in a week. I used to read 1-2 books in a day, when I had time. Now with work and all the other stuff I'm doing in-between, I slowed down with my reading-pace actually
Good question! They are simply writing-geniuses over there! I mean - hooooow??????? I love to write myself and always love to read in author-interviews about writing-process, writing tips, etc, and all western authors say the same: It's "show, don't tell"! But Chinese authors are the only ones that are doing this so masterfully! Even with, I will say "not so good", translations, when so many meanings and subtleness has been lost, no matter how hard a translator tries to keep it as original as possible, all the pictures and feelings still get delivered so full of vividness, that as a reader you have all the images clear and sharp before your eyes. No wonder, when we are not interested in western books anymore - not only the story itself but also the writing are from a quality and skill-level, I've never experienced before.
Maybe if we would make it a global thing - everywhere in the world, light as many candles so that astronauts in the orbit can see HYX written all over the world - maybe that would help 🤣🤣🤣🙈
I swear, I almost choked from laughter 😂😂😂😂 And this scene is just I-C-O-N-I-C It was so freakin funny and is one and will always be one of my most fav scenes in the whole novel. I can picture Chu Wanning so well, from being confused to slowly realising until he throws the book through the room out of embarrassment🤣
Same! I can number the novels and books, that made me cry on one hand and 2ha and TGCF are two of them. Wu ChangJie, for example, did not make me cry as much, but this one reeeaaally makes me depressed and sad and feeling hurt. It's the kind of story, in which the pain is not as sharp as a knife, but rather buries itself deep inside you and lingers there, until you can't ignore the pressure. That's actually the reason I took a break from it, actually after binge reading the first 200 chapters in 3 days. But I think it's awesome if a writer can summon such deep feelings in me, that's god given talent, I don't think you can can learn this, no matter how hard you try and how good you write and phrase your words
Good, I don't want to be the one to lead you astray lmao But since you've already read Husky ... 😂🙈 ... But actually, I started reading adult books with 12, so who am I to say anything 🙈🙈
