I fell in love with these novels and have read them many times now. The anime is amazing but this volume cemented my love for the novels.

Solo Leveling Volume 4 cranks up the action with jaw-dropping battles & unexpected twists! Jin-Woo’s power evolution is on full display, making this one of the most intense entries yet. ⚔️🔥

So was anyone going to tell me that Fei Tian Ye Xiang wrote 13 chapters of noncon porn about Liu Bang/Xiang Yu or were you just waiting for me to find out by myself? 😳

#intro post for yr. villainous friend

Hello! I'm Rae and I'm here for #fandom, primarily #webnovels of the #danmei, #baihe, #wuxia, and/or #xianxia variety. I watch the occasional #cdrama too, but very slowly. As you can tell from my name, I am an #MDZS fan (also #SVSSS and #TGCF). I'm currently doing a #ChuLiuxiangReadalong, watching #LegendOfFei, and constantly thinking about #ALeagueOfNobleman and its source novel #ZhangGongAn. I love villains and stories about conflicting loyalties, dark pasts and mysterious secrets. I write fanfic and share it here.

Other than fandom, I post a little about #ChineseHistory, learning Mandarin (just passed HSK 3 and HSKK Elementary!), historical bookbinding, personal web dev, and so on. I'm in the Central European time zone and also read German, plus a tiny bit of Swedish.

Somebody shared the #JoyOfLife novel, translated into English (her pet project) in epub.

I was bracing myself to read it on the web. I tend to compile the reads into an epub for my own personal consumption as I don't really enjoy reading things on the web. Fansubbers don't like people scrapping their stuff and resharing (for obvious reasons) but as this is from the translator herself, I think it's safe to share.

Anyway I've been reading supernatural girlfriend.. I spent my entire ride on the rickshaw grinning bcs they were so cute??

Erm I'll admit it, Suyang (male lead) is quite the character, weirdo extraordinaire, whimsical in a literal sense, not to be mistaken with the tumblr standard whimsy, that's not it, he's like Howl but Howl at least was something else in the film, the novel him was so losercore — it had me convinced there was no romance going on, only bickering old ppl; ig Suyang at least tries to pull some romantic moment, like bro issoke you can totally rip shit straight out of romance novels just don't admit it immediately when your intended effect isn't found, mc is trying to process things! she's also very busy being in denial about it, she's can't exactly give romantic responses when she's trying to hide it!!!

Suyang is, quite unfortunately, overbearing, and this pairs' sense of boundaries, let's say it exists somewhere on the boundary of being here and not there. Like he respects some weird things (not entering rooms until explicitly given permission, btw they live together bcs of weird genius writer and his assistant thing that they've got going on, don't mistake it as a assistant x boss thing, he makes her go above and beyond doing just normal chores - I hope that sentence actually sentenced) but he has no problem overtaking someone's life (you're not driving one of those fancy cars, can you please stop?) but ig some parts are justified, what are you supposed to do when you know a woman with like zero sense of self preservation?

Lin Yixin (forgot to name mc lmao sry) was prepared to die by making a murder spiteful JUST SO SHE COULD COLLECT EVIDENCE. Woman is on another league entirely. Anyway this is a comedy, and it's pretty good. It's like watching two weirdos find each other.

I haven't divulged much, I just wanted to rave about the parts I liked and the part that drove me up a wall

4. I'm a True Villainess 1 by Flowing Honey

Manta recently (like a couple days ago) added the original webnovels for their popular series and I, of course, bought the entire series for this one because it's my fav from the villainess subgenre because the plotting is both classic and bonkers lol and I love the main couple.

As expected, the webnovel has details that were glossed over or just skipped in the webtoon: like the fact that Seria goes to Rouche's territory annually to inspect the lake & glacier and that he has an informal ritual of welcoming her over a cup of tea. That little detail casts their relationship in a new light. The history! The fact that he's always low-key liked her despite her atrocious reputation and is high-key pissed that she "changed" due to falling in love with Callus!

I'm excited to read the rest of the series (5 more volumes + bonus stories).

Hello all, much like others I'm trying out Mastodon after today's #twitter fiasco so here's my #introduction post!

I'm Rose and I'm a married #asexual ciswoman. I work as a data analyst for local government in the #UK and am interested in #data topics. I am currently doing an apprenticeship in data analytics and hope to learn a lot.

Outside of work, I am a shy geek who loves #videogames (especially #rpgs and #otomegames ) , #manga , #LightNovels and #webnovels.

Nice to meet you all! 🙂

My reaction to this article:

Actually, it's the other way around. It is adaptations into live-action that see the most changes from the original material, not adaptations in printed literature. ;)

However, as far as Copyright laws are concerned, if you have a Licence to adapt, you can change it.

Changes in live-action adaptations of literature works is nothing new. There are countless examples of that, for example Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels; H. G. Wells's War of the Worlds; William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; Louisa May Alcott's Little Women; and many more.

There is no “battle between revision and the originality”. If an author doesn't want the licensee to make drastic, or any, changes, then they should produce it themselves, or include it in their License Agreement.

We also must accept that adapting a work from literature to live-action is never easy. The budget and time constraints are more than enough to justify changes.

But adapting a live-action work into literature is easier, and actually more fun, because an author can provide more details which were not possible in the original live-action work.

#DecRecs Day 18 - From a Knight to Lady by Ink & Hyerim Sung

While I'm more into the villainess genre of #webtoons & #webnovels, this reincarnation #webtoon caught my interest. Estelle was once a kingdom's head knight until she was betrayed & killed. She then reincarnates as a beautiful noblewoman from the empire that destroyed her kingdom. Now she has to navigate her new life. Oh & she's also engaged to a man who was once her enemy on the battlefield!! It's delicious. :ablobcatbongo:
