Physical Copy of MDZS
Apr. 17th, 2021 08:27 pmI started this project back in March, probably? I watched the Untamed, and then read about half of MDZS before remembering that I really don't like reading stuff online (unless it's fanfiction—I find new fiction very difficult to read online, especially if it's trying to mimic the way a book works with page turns. I can read scrolling stuff just fine through: blame decades (two, actually) of fanfiction). So, I decided to print myself a bound copy. The translation by Exiled Rebels is very, uh, grammar errors and very, changing translated terms and not going back to fix them, so I had to do a bunch of edits before printing. (Lol I also censored the sex scenes: it's now mature instead of explicit) I screwed up a little, and used too much water when decorating the inside cover (I need to squish it under some textbooks), and the binding is a little sloppy, but I'm taking these as learning experiences, and I'll do better on the second volume. The cover is mostly made of MDZS washi tape, of which I got a bunch in a lot somebody was selling on eBay. Yay! Whenever a poem was referenced in text, I added it and the translation at the end of the chapter. I'm a bit sticker happy. I think I'd like to do Heaven Official's Blessing next, but I'm only like 30 chapters in, and I'm having trouble making myself finish. Oh! And Thousand Autumns, too, but that translation isn't finished.
