I feel like reading wuxia originally written in english doesn't do it for me after reading mdzs and tgcf. like obviously they have issues as novels and translation hiccups, but I just can't go back to awkward english-language wuxia-style stories that try to make things simple and digestible for english speakers. like I'm aware what 'authenticity' even means is a whole conversation too but thats what it feels like and I'd rather have these stories in their original language ig.

or maybe I've just never found a good wuxia-style english novel :/ bad luck from me
