Hi everyone,
We're releasing a new Chinese novel called Wandering Knight! This one has longer than usual chapters, so we've made the decision to release one of them per day rather than two. Nonetheless, 50 chapters are already out. Please enjoy!
Here's an introduction from translator Qoob, who's been with us since 2019!
Hello, this is Qoob.
Wandering Knight will be my fifth novel with Wuxiaworld, and I'm excited to share it with all of you. It's a Western fantasy—sword and sorcery, might and magic, you know—written by a Chinese author, then translated for a global audience. This blend of cultures makes for a unique, engaging experience with classical elements of Western fantasy seen from a Chinese lens.
As for me, I translate novels and localize games from Chinese to English. I'm an avid fan of gacha games, and I've worked with a number of big names like NetEase and Tencent. In my spare time, I'm trying to pick up Japanese and Classical Chinese.
The land of Aleisterre is a world of might and magic, sword and sorcery, where wandering knights and mysterious gods shape the fate of kingdoms. Wang Yu, a resourceful and unorthodox protagonist, finds himself inexplicably pulled into Aleisterre, a place steeped in ancient powers and political intrigue. With little understanding of the magic and faith that underpin this realm, Wang Yu is thrust into conflicts he never sought out—yet must navigate carefully if he’s to survive.
Original synopsis:
Dragons' wings cut through the sky. Knights charge forward, magic tearing apart everything before them. Wizardry distorts the fabric of reality itself. The steam revolution stirs in one kingdom; the endless seas echo with ancient, distorted calls. Gods rule from high above, and the dark abyss leads deep underground.
Wang Yu, from Earth, arrives in this unfamiliar world of fantasy.
Straightforward and practical to the extreme, Wang Yu hates politics, despises intrigue, and prefers to approach everything head-on. In his own way, he leaves his mark in this mad, chaotic world.
"I don’t care to listen to or understand my enemy’s story."
"I'm the tank, and you're the carry. Together, we'll be invincible."
"A man’s got to have a sense of himself, more than anything else."
Armed with an iron hammer and unbreakable will, he smashes through every obstacle in his path.

Hi everyone,
Bringing a break from our slew of Chinese series, here's Barbarian's Adventure in a Fantasy World! 20 chapters are out now.
He dreamt of grand adventures—soaring with dragons, casting spells with a flick of his hand, unraveling ancient mysteries hidden in forgotten ruins. But when he opened his eyes, it wasn’t wonder that greeted him. It was cold. Bitter, biting cold. He lay half-buried in the endless White Snowfield, a ruthless land where even the air seemed to bare its teeth. No warmth. No magic. No explanations. Just frostbitten limbs, howling winds, and creatures that hunted anything that breathed. In that brutal crucible, stripped of comfort and certainty, he clawed his way through each day and night, surviving trial after trial. And from that struggle, a barbarian was born.
Once he finally left that desolate realm, he discovered the world was far more complicated than a simple tale of heroes and villains. Demons began spilling out from the depths of Hell, and dark omens seemed to stalk his every footstep. Yet, he wasn’t some righteous champion bent on saving everyone. He wandered mostly for the thrill of discovery, savoring every fantastical sight. Still, whenever he sensed injustice, he stepped forward, compelled by a sense of fair play he couldn’t ignore. Whether he’s facing down demons or strolling through vibrant towns, his true passion lies in exploring this magical world—one new frontier at a time.

And here's a message from our podcast team:
This is a PSA to let you know that we are preparing for an exciting fan event to celebrate the release of the 100th chapter of the awesome slice-of-life novel Daddy is Too Strong.
What makes this event so special, you ask? Well, it involves YOU!
The translation team has prepared a set of super interesting questions about Daddy is Too Strong for you to answer. Get your answers in for a (quite high) chance to be featured on Wuxiaworld's Teahouse, the one and only official WW podcast.
Haven't had the chance to read Daddy is Too Strong yet? You still have plenty of time before the deadline on April 25th to get started and get your answers in 🙂
Why read Daddy is Too Strong? As one of our readers, Seleoris, aptly summarized in their review, This novel isn't about deep scheming, life-and-death situations, balls-to-the-wall action, or various forms of leveling up. This is about a stupidly overpowered guy trying his best to be a good father, friend, employee, and helper. And I think that's something incredibly precious.
So, if you want a daily dose of that feel-good factor, come join Do-Jun and his family on their journey of trying to live a mundane life with exciting surprises. And also for a chance to be featured on the podcast.
If you're already knee-deep in DITS, get your answers in! If you're not, well, then get to reading AND get your answers in!
You can find the details and the set of questions in the link down below.
https://forms.gle/AMEY6KZyZjfzvcgK7
Thank you so much to those of you who have submitted your answers so far. They’ve been a joy to read through, and we can't wait for more.
So, don't wait too long and unleash your inner Yong-Yong to start participating. Grab those phones and record your heart out (or answers, whatever is the easiest). Or, if you prefer to take the safer route, aka the Karsiel route, type away. Either way of participation would make our Heavenly Demon proud.
As Yong-Yong would say, "What's there to be shy about? Participation is tasty."

Hi everyone,
We're launching a third Chinese novel in a row: My Journey to Immortality Begins With Hunting is out now! Here's the intro from its translator, JL:
Hi guys, JL here. It’s a pleasure to meet you all! For those of you following me here from Immortal of the Ages, I’m grateful for the continued trust and support. I learned a lot of lessons on the previous project and hope to apply them to this new novel. As always, though, my goal will always be to provide you guys an entertaining story and hopefully some brief respite from the stresses of everyday life!
After blacking out at a class reunion, Li Yuan awakens in a brutal world reminiscent of ancient China. Famines rage, human life is cheap, and the specter of war looms at every corner. Worse still, the eerie rumors of monsters lurking deep in the forests and things that go bump in the night prove all too real.
Now scraping by as a humble hunter in a remote village, Li Yuan must also watch over a woman entrusted to his care. Although he’s blessed with a mysterious status window, he’s still just a leaf on the wind—easily blown astray by the sweeping storms of change. Join him as he struggles to navigate political upheavals and unforeseen perils, striving to forge his own destiny as history unfolds around him.

Hi everyone,
We're launching An Alchemist's Path to Eternity! 50 chapters are already out.
Here's an introduction from its translator, Jaye:
Hey everyone! I’m Jaye, the translator of An Alchemist’s Path to Eternity.
If you’re into cultivation stories with a solid buildup and a touch of real-world applicable theories, this one’s definitely worth checking out. The story doesn’t just throw you into the usual power-ups and breakthroughs—it takes its time to craft a journey that feels both immersive and rewarding. Personally, I’ve found myself reflecting on some of the concepts in the novel, which makes the reading experience even more engaging.
This novel has been an amazing experience so far, and I’m excited to share it with you all. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I do!
Luo Chen awakens in a vast and treacherous cultivation world, frozen at the same age he was in his past life. Born with a terrible spirit root aptitude, his future as a cultivator is nearly nonexistent. With no sect to back him and no powerful lineage to rely on, he struggles to survive as a mere rogue cultivator, his path seemingly doomed from the start.
However, what he lacks in natural talent, he makes up for with sheer determination and intelligence. Gifted with an unparalleled talent in alchemy, he seizes every opportunity to advance. Yet, his abilities quickly attract the attention of powerful cultivators who see him as nothing more than a tool. They want to force into a life of servitude, crafting pills for others while his own life is buried.
But Luo Chen refuses to accept a fate dictated by others. With unwavering resolve and a brilliant mind, he begins to climb the ranks, defying expectations and carving his own path towards the Great Dao. From an overlooked alchemist to a force to be reckoned with, his journey is one of resilience, defiance, and the relentless pursuit of immortality.
Will he break free from the chains of fate and seize his own destiny? Or will the ruthless world of cultivation swallow him whole?
Join Luo Chen on his journey in An Alchemist’s Path to Eternity and witness the rise of a legend!

And here's a message from our podcast team:
He Dies. He Revives. He Steals Your Skills.
Welcome to the beautiful trauma of SSS-Class Revival Hunter 🔥
In this episode, we dive into a quick but punchy summary of the hit Korean webnovel, unpack what makes it so wildly popular (yes, we’re talking trauma, death mechanics, and those painfully earned Skills), and explore the subtle but powerful differences between the official and unofficial translations.
Also: Yojj can’t say “SSS” without dropping an S. It’s fine. We’re fine.
And of course, we bring the story to life with two original audio scenes:
🔥 A deadly confrontation with the Fire Emperor
💪 And a hilariously intense father-son brawl between Uburka and Kekerukker
Whether you're a long-time fan or just Revival-curious, this one’s for you so tune in on Friday 7am EST | 8pm KST.

Hi everyone,
The Reticent Blade is out now, with 50 chapters for you to dive into! This one is being translated by Nocturnaeon, who is a a longtime reader of Wuxiaworld and a massive fan of Chinese novels (which I've confirmed in person!). Moreover, this story is seriously, genuinely, a wuxia novel! Here's his introduction:
Hello, fellow Daoists. I am Nocturnaeon (I know it's a mouthful. Feel free to call me Noct or whatever you want to~). I don't really remember when I started reading translated web novels, but it was probably around 2010 with Stellar Transformations. Ever since then, I've never looked back.
Over the years, I've always been interested in translating, as I am fluent in Chinese and English. However, there always seemed to be some issues that would crop up that would make me unable to do so. Fortunately, the heavens took pity on me, and the stars aligned last year, allowing me to start my journey as a translator for The Reticent Blade.
The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character's powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.
The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant.
We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.
The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.
The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the jianghu.

Hi everyone,
We just released another Korean novel! It's I'm the Crazy One in the Family, featuring a main character who specialises in archery!
“Leave Liqueur and come to Sefira with me, my lord.”
Keter, a madman living in the lawless city of Liqueur as a Solver, is miraculously brought out of the inescapable city and enters Sefira, one of the few prestigious master families in the Lillian Kingdom. Years later, having become bored of noble society, Keter returns to Liqueur. But he is found again by a Sefira knight, this time holding a dying note in his hand.
“Lord Keter… Please take… this as the last… word from Sefira…”
The letter from Besil, Keter’s father and the patriarch of Sefira, tells him to run away from Queen Lillian, a godly being, with the family’s secret archery techniques. The entire Sefira family had been charged with treason and executed by the queen herself, and she is after him too. Keter is not one to let this go—not that she killed his entire family, but the fact that she wanted to kill him.
“My motto is ‘eye for an eye.’”
With that, Keter trains for decades to kill Queen Lillian, only to be beheaded by one of the Four Lords, her subordinates. However…
“Is something wrong, my lord?”
…he woke up in a carriage with his butler. He had regressed to when he entered Sefira. Given a new chance at life, he intends to make the most of it. Queen Lillian ruined his previous life, even killing him, so he was going to pay her back. Until that time comes, Keter plans to grow the family’s strength and build its power.
Follow Keter’s journey as he turns the Sefira family upside down, bringing them more and more power with each event.
“Saving the family and killing the queen is all to live a happy, fulfilling life, isn’t it?”

Hi everyone,
Today we're launching a new Korean novel: Daddy is Too Strong! 20 chapters are available now. I think there's a certain well-known WW comment that would fit nicely here...
A seventeen-year-old daughter… at the age of twenty-six?
Do-Jun was an awkward and incompetent civil servant working for Seoul City’s Fissure Management Division, constantly looked down upon for being, to put it bluntly, a social reject. That was until he got hit by a truck on his way to a job site.
As he drifted into unconsciousness, Do-Jun was transported to Martial World. There, he conquered the realm and earned the fearsome title of “Heavenly Demon.” But when he returns to Earth, he finds an unexpected surprise left by his brother—a seventeen-year-old daughter.
Do-Jun hoped to live out his days quietly and anonymously back on Earth, but life has other plans. His newfound powers keep pulling him into situations that demand his attention as he tries to shed his old image of being a workplace liability, form stronger bonds with his colleagues, adjust to modern life, learn to parent a teenage daughter, and, all the while, try to keep his overwhelming abilities under wraps.
Daddy is Too Strong is a novel filled with relatable characters and heartwarming moments. Whether you're a high schooler, a young professional, or just someone trying to navigate ordinary life—or, like Do-Jun, an insanely overpowered human with a secret—you’ll find yourself immersed in this humorous yet emotional tale of family, self-discovery, and hidden strength.

We've implemented two quality of life improvements!
1) A new user setting: the ability to remove paragraph comments from the comment section at the end of each chapter.
We noticed that it was annoying to read the paragraph comments during the chapter, and then upon reaching the main comment section at the end, having to scroll through all those same paragraph comments to find any comments that were posted on the chapter itself.
It discouraged the use of the end of chapter comment section. Now, with this setting disabled, paragraph comments are excluded from the main comment section and will only be accessible from their relevant paragraphs.
2) When you view a previous chapter of a novel, this prompt will now be displayed instead of your bookmark being automatically moved back:

And here's an announcement from our podcast team about an upcoming episode! The episode will become available at 7am EST on the 21st. That's 4am PST, 8pm GMT+8, and midday GMT.
Daddy Is Too Strong... and So Is Our Confusion
A brand-new novel launches today, and we’re giving you a chaotic sneak peek with a dramatic (and totally questionable) read-along!
Main topic? The Dad Contract. Is this a heartwarming slice of life or is there a questionable romance lurking in the shadows or are we completely wrong about the genre? We’re asking all the right (and very wrong) questions.
Also featuring:
👀 A suspiciously pretty girl with major main character energy.
😱 A wake-up scene that raises so many questions.
💀 Dying, reviving, and somehow becoming the strongest?!
With dramatic narration, and unfiltered reactions, this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and confusion.
Hit play and join the madness!

Hi everyone,
We're releasing another Chinese novel today: Beastmaster King! We've just made the first 50 chapters available. It's being translated by two people, both of whom are new to Wuxiaworld. Here's their intro!
Hi everyone, I’m LucuisK! I grew up watching wuxia and historical C-dramas with my dad so I was always a big fan of the genre. Like everyone else, my first novel was TDG. Actually, I was waiting for new One Piece chapters to update, and while scrolling, I saw the manhua. When the manhua wasn’t updating fast enough, I got suckered into reading the light novel. Since then, I have spent a lot of time on WW, so I thought I’d give translating a shot. It was a great chance to further delve into something I greatly enjoyed.
Hey there, I’m Jazzspresso! I’m excited to dive into the WuxiaWorld community as a translator. Growing up, I was always captivated by the epic stories of martial heroes and their wild adventures, and I’m thrilled to help bring these tales to life for English-speaking readers. With my background in both English and Chinese, I strive to capture the essence of each character and the cultural nuances that make these stories so special. My goal is to ensure you feel every thrilling moment, every heart-wrenching decision, and every epic battle. Let’s embark on this adventure together!
Lu Ran had long since known that his path in life differed from others when he awakened a special ability one day. Sure enough, a mysterious black card appeared, giving him the chance to become a beastmaster. As Lu Ran delved deeper into the art of beastmastery, he formed bonds with different creatures of distinct powers. With his loyal companions by his side, he sets out on his path to greatness and to uncover the ancient secrets of his world.
Beastmaster King is available now.
And from February 14th to 24th, we're making all published chapters of Unintended Immortality and I Have a Sword freely available! Just in time for a Valentine's Day binge read.

Hi everyone,
Happy Lunar New Year! We thought it would be fun to share some details about how LNY is celebrated, so we asked our translators what they'll be doing! Here's what they said.
Openbookworm
Damn Reincarnation
Our family doesn't celebrate Christmas, so the Lunar New Year is like our version of Christmas. It's a time for the family to get together and appreciate each other's company. We might not exchange gifts, but we do have a big meal together and of course, for dessert, we have some delicious tteok. Then, in the evening, we all gather together to watch some of the Lunar New Year special shows on TV.
Houseau3
The Creatures That We Are
Going home to spend a few days with the family. My sister has a wee girl and my brother two girls and a baby boy, so it's going to be quite lively.
ChaCha
Dragon War God, Dao of the Bizarre Immortal
Engorging myself on feasts with my family. We usually have numerous meals in a day when we visit different friend and family groups. Nowadays we also have karaoke showdowns and dance challenges. Everyone in our family assumed the youngsters would win but surprisingly our uncles and aunties emerged victorious most of the time.
cc (chubbycheeks)
Gourmet Gaming
We’re not Chinese but whenever the Chinese Lunar New Year comes around, we will always have those lucky charms and decorations around the house and eat some nian gao! (Emphasis on the nian gao!)
DantheMan
Damn Reincarnation, Duke Pendragon, How to Live as the Vampire Lord
Usually, I'd be at a gathering with all my family members, chomping down on all sorts of delicious food. But this year, I'll be spending it in Tokyo, going to Disney, soaking in a warm Ryokan, eating delicious sushi, and shopping!
StarveCleric
Martial God Asura, Keyboard Immortal
I'll be stuffing myself full of New Year goodies. It's the only time of the year when Ferrero Rocher finally gets 50% off its usual price. Whew whew
doge
Dragon War God
Before the first day, we have a pre-new year reunion dinner with extended family.
On the first day of LNY, we pay respects to our deceased relatives at the temple first, then we begin a visiting spree that usually lasts 5 days to friend and family's houses.
It's really difficult to keep this tradition up as the elders dwindle. I sincerely hope this energy will last until I'm old :')
If you celebrate LNY, how do you do it? Next year I think I'll be spending it in Singapore for those 50% off Ferrero Rocher...
We're running an LNY Karma giveaway over on our forum! To enter, post a link to a chapter on Wuxiaworld where the lunar new year is celebrated! We'll give 1000 Karma to three random entrants. And of course, if someone else has already submitted a chapter, then you cannot enter with the same chapter. (If you're a reader of Unsheathed, you'll remember that Chen Ping'an always commemorates the new year!)
We're also sharing a series of LNY posts on our social media! Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram.
