This is the second and last regular chapter of the week, read chapter 53 here.
So responding to comments a few days ago, I believe my novel has enough exposure because I have about 3500 readers that read it each time a chapter comes out. And I’m estimating there’s a few thousand readers who save up X amount of chapters before reading it all at once.
The main reason I don’t have any donations is because this novel is just not interesting enough compared to the slew of others out there right now. Now we come to the underlying issue, my theory being there’s not enough readers out there.
I estimate that there’s only about 10,000 worldwide readers of xianxia novels. How did I come up with this number? If you look at gravitytales.com, they’re the only ones that show how many e-mail subscribers they have (4500). Now there’s probably a bunch of people like me that didn’t subscribe but just visit daily to look, let’s double the number and round up to 10,000. Out of all the readers, probably only 2% or more donate? So only a few hundred people donate from $5 – $20 per week? If I had money to donate, I would of course donate to the novel I would like to read, BUT, if that novel already has a crap load of sponsored chapters in queue, then I will donate to the next favorite and so on and so on.
So unless the author of my novel starts improving his imagination, I’m pretty much stuck without donations. Unless all you readers start recruiting rich readers, then someday, the money may trickle down to translators of less popular novels like me! End of rant LOL. Agree or disagree, post a comment below.
Our very first sponsored chapter, ever, by Ronald N.!!!! Everyone please thank him for the generous donation! He is now enshrined as a God on this site.
I will respond to some recent comments on Friday, too tired from work, must sleep…
It’s been 5 months now and this site is still alive! Since I’m not receiving any donations, your positive comments are what motivates me to keep going!
Enjoy your first release of the week, chapter 50 and bonus chapter 51.
(Some date issues with previous post, re-doing this.)
Slight spoiler and announcement: As most of you know, chinanovel.net has stopped translating God and Devil World because the author was racist against Japanese and Vietnamese in future arcs. I was going to announce this as we got closer but might as well do it now while everything is fresh. Our author here is also racist against the Japanese, but probably not as bad as God and Devil World. Whether his family/ancestors were hurt by Japanese, or he was brainwashed by Chinese propaganda, we don’t know. In about 10 – 15 chapters, he will throw out jabs and punches at the Japanese so this is a warning. As we approach that arc, I will also warn you guys again.
I wasn’t expecting our author to be like this because other major novels did not have this issue. But at the same time, I’m not surprised since they do live in a Communist environment and the fishing island issue cropped up. If you guys didn’t know, a lot of popular mainland Chinese TV shows are set in the early 1900’s where the theme was fighting against the Japanese invasion.
Anyway, here’s your second chapter of the week, chapter 49 here!
Here’s your first chapter of the week, chapter 48 here!
If you haven’t gone to wuxiaworld and read some of the original stories there, try Legends of Gods – Tale of Vjaira. It’s long and entertaining!
Got this out early morning instead of afternoon because of work related issues. Read chapter 47 here! It was the author’s biggest chapter so far with 3000 characters. Nothing much going on with our MC, slice of life stuff.
Here’s your first chapter of the week, chapter 46 here.
Nothing to announce today =)
Here’s your second chapter of the week, chapter 45 here!
I am now experiencing post-vacation depression, don’t feel like doing anything!
I’m back in the U.S. and it’s so cold! Here’s your first chapter of the week, chapter 44 here. Next chapter should come out Friday afternoon sometime.
Currently reading a fanfiction called Infinity Tomes by happypsych, if you haven’t read it yet, check out his own version of a xianxia novel.
