Whilst I originally got on Twitter to follow updates of HiStory3, now it's all MDZS and Xiao Zhan, which is nice but also a bit annoying when I see that someone is Wrong on the Internet (especially if that someone is American - I guess they are USA-based - only they are that annoying, I grumpily assume), viz:

1) XZ should go to Hollywood (This is why I assumed the USA part of it) so that he's more accessible to "fans". First, ugh, Hollywood. Second, isn't China a bigger market than USA?

2) MDZS is a novel about Y and not about X as everyone assumed. One, a novel can be about more than 1 thing; two, do you realise that X is the theme that that the author herself keeps reiterating both in-novel and in her commentary - and all three adaptations (radio drama, live-action, donghua) work with it (???); and three: you are wrong.

3) I have read the novel so my special interpretation must be right. Hm, loads of people have read the same thing and they have a different interpretation from yours, so?

I'm also there for updates on the donghua s2 of Thousand Autumns but not for the more, ah, creative fanart. And people do keep repeating Word of Honor memes so there's lots of pretty.

I'm also now desperately curious about the Scum Villain translation (though probably not curious enough to shell out what amounts to USD60-something for it - we'll see) because the version I have is just 2 volumes plus a small booklet of some extra chapters, while the official translation is apparently 3 volumes. Have I read an earlier version? Missed out on some extra chapters? :(

svsss, mdzs, scum villain
