@slhuang @sffbipoc currently working on book 9 of my A Thousand Li series, a xianxia fantasy work. Lots of sword fighting, random elementary discussion on daoism and enlightenment.

@slhuang can't wait for yours either. I remember reading a literal translation of the original Water Margin as a kid (it was all that we had) and having a headache parsing stuff. Still had a lot of fun with it, but it was a struggle.

And so much cannibalism. Soo much.
