Meng Xi Shi: Thousand Autumns, book 5
Tense, funny, silly, emotional, a good last book in the series. Yes, I read it in a day, lol.

Meng Xi Shi: Thousand Autumns, book 4
this was so silly. can't wait to see how Shen Qiao realizes he's in love with Yan Wushi. I bet he'll flip the table.

Meng Xi Shi: Thousand Autumns, book 1
That was fun in many ways, but also exasperating because of the thesaurus of how many beautiful, divine, perfect, enchanting ways one's robes/hands/legs/hair can flow/ripple/tremble in the breeze...

I am currently reading "Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower." A JLight Novel, set in an AU Chinese court. Like "The Apothecary Diaries" but fluffier. I am on volume 4.
The novel before that was "My Happy Marriage" vol. 8. Still a good series after 8 volumes.
With vol. 1 of Yuru Camp manga in between.
After the free read period on Culinary Chronicles is over I will probably read "Tearmoon Empire" vol. 15. It's stood up to a long series as well.
Or The Legendary Witch Is Reborn as an Oppressed Princess vol 4. It's a fun series.

I read Purely by Accident by Leng Qian Shan and nope, still not a fan of romcom.

Speaking of transmigration novels, are there any where the media character transmigrates into modern day? I know there's fic but are there original novels?

I started reading the official MDZS translation, and finished book 1. Slower going than before because I've been doing stuff other than reading at the same time, shocking, I know.

I did not, in fact, finish this.
My two cents on Devil Venerable here:

This is dragging but since I'm stubborn, I intend to finish it. Currently in ch 19.
To further illustrate my frustration, let me share this from my notes:
"The previous two Cyan Wings books I’ve read have been e.danglars translations and sadly, this doesn’t hold up to par. It’s painfully obvious the translator isn’t as skilled as e.danglars because I refuse to believe the difference is only due to some massive style change on the author's part. The proofreading also leaves a lot to be desired: the capitalization is wildly inconsistent, the titles and familiar terms change within paragraphs, and the translation has links and notes (“check what this was named before”) within the text in brackets."
It's a pain. But...I want to know how this turns out.
*sigh*

I started reading Devil Venerable and... uh. I'm not sure if it's the translation or the story but it's not gripping me. 😕 I'm going to read it because so many people have recced it and I've enjoyed the two other Cyan Wings books I've read, so I'm hoping the story will pick up.

SPL vol 1 done. It didn't suck me in like SVSSS did but the style is very different and takes a bit more concentration to read. Like. I have to actually *think* about what I'm reading, lol.
