I have seen that the lemmy.ml mods will openly ban discussion about the CCP. I am wondering if the sh.itjust.works team allows criticism of government bodies, while still banning racism.

Yup bad mods bad. U wanna mod Chinese thing btw? I was thinking of adding some Xianxia memes and recommendations idk. Later tho cuz I have a lot of work till June 30ish due to some deadlines and contract dates
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
💥😎👈
Lol I don’t hate it well maybe that mod made me hate it but I did read the first book. Can’t say I didn’t try.
x) jk
And yeah. You did more than I would. I think I don’t finish 9out of 10 shows I start. Triple that for books. Not sure I’ve finished a book I didn’t like yet.
Think I finished 6 translated Chinese novels, 2 of those were under 1k chapters. Just took me a decade :). I think it’s impossible to finish one of these novels without liking it, 2k chapters is a grind that’s like 200+ hours per novel.
Super true. I was reading a novel when I lived in Venezuela, and I was astounded that months into my life in Spain, I was still reading it, and I’d get this feeling that it had been such a big part of my life at that point. Ironically I can’t remember which novel that was. But yeah I usually spend weeks if not months to finish a normal one of these, sometimes even reading all day.
In contrast, a normal novel can be read in like 8 hours. Makes me think I’ve read the Xianxia equivalent of hundreds of normal novels. And it certainly has taken its toll in my fiction mind. I’ve been writing stories since I was a kid and my stories now tend to have these vast worlds filled with amoral god-like beings that tend to have a bit of a tendency to kill people like ants, and characters that just go around in some kind of cross-world chase for something infinitely far away. I should really learn to balance that a bit cuz it has stifled my will to write a bit.
