General Announcements
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!

If you're interested in hearing more from Jaye, you can follow her on Twitter/X here! By the way, where are you interested in following and interacting with translators, if anywhere? Instagram? X? Bluesky? Or just the WW Discord? Let us know!

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.

Hi everyone,
We've just launched a new Korean novel called Conquering the Tower Even Regressors Couldn't! It's got 20 chapters available now.
What if someone told you they’ve regressed in time and that you are humanity’s last hope? Sounds absurd, right? That’s exactly what Su-Hyeok thought until he found himself standing at the base of a mysterious tower, where every step forward could mean life or death.
But this isn’t your typical story of regressors or destined heroes. Su-Hyeok isn’t armed with some divine prophecy as he’s just an ordinary guy with extraordinary talent, ready to bulldoze through anything the tower throws his way. With his loyal party members and his best friend Ha Hee-Jeong by his side, Su-Hyeok faces challenges that test not only his strength but his resolve.
Each of the tower’s 100 floors is a battleground of cunning traps, brutal enemies, and challenges that defy imagination. Every level brings new surprises, forcing Su-Hyeok to dig deep into his instincts, adapt, and fight tooth and nail to survive. As the stakes climb higher and higher, one question will loom in readers’ minds: can he truly rise to become humanity’s savior?
If you’re craving a fast-paced, pulse-pounding adventure packed with unexpected twists and a protagonist who shatters every cliche, this is the story for you. Step into the tower, and get ready to climb. The question is, will you make it to the top?

Also, here's a message from our podcast team! (It's not me talking about myself in third person, I promise).
The Teahouse is Back and Brewing Fresh Shenanigans! ☕
Wuxiaworld’s Teahouse Season 2 is here, and Tokki and Yojj are up to their usual shenanigans again! 🎉

We've just launched a new Korean novel called Conquering the Tower Even Regressors Couldn't! It's got 20 chapters available now.
What if someone told you they’ve regressed in time and that you are humanity’s last hope? Sounds absurd, right? That’s exactly what Su-Hyeok thought until he found himself standing at the base of a mysterious tower, where every step forward could mean life or death.
But this isn’t your typical story of regressors or destined heroes. Su-Hyeok isn’t armed with some divine prophecy as he’s just an ordinary guy with extraordinary talent, ready to bulldoze through anything the tower throws his way. With his loyal party members and his best friend Ha Hee-Jeong by his side, Su-Hyeok faces challenges that test not only his strength but his resolve.
Each of the tower’s 100 floors is a battleground of cunning traps, brutal enemies, and challenges that defy imagination. Every level brings new surprises, forcing Su-Hyeok to dig deep into his instincts, adapt, and fight tooth and nail to survive. As the stakes climb higher and higher, one question will loom in readers’ minds: can he truly rise to become humanity’s savior?
If you’re craving a fast-paced, pulse-pounding adventure packed with unexpected twists and a protagonist who shatters every cliche, this is the story for you. Step into the tower, and get ready to climb. The question is, will you make it to the top?

Also, here's a message from our podcast team! (It's not me talking about myself in third person, I promise).
The Teahouse is Back and Brewing Fresh Shenanigans! ☕
Wuxiaworld’s Teahouse Season 2 is here, and Tokki and Yojj are up to their usual shenanigans again! 🎉
In Episode 0: Prologue we introduced Kun, our unsung hero who worked his magic to make all our carolers sound good in the Christmas Special. Now, in Episode 1, it’s time to shine a spotlight on someone you think you know but really don’t... yet.
You’ve spotted him on Discord.
You’ve seen his posts on Reddit.
You’ve read his words on the forum.
But have you ever heard him speak? 👀
Meet Jasper, the one Yojj calls the “mysterious figure of Wuxiaworld.”
From managing behind-the-scenes operational magic to being the go to guy for everything boring yet has to be done, Jasper’s presence is all over the place!
But how did he land his role at Wuxiaworld in the first place? Spoiler alert: it involves a passion for reading, a vacation, a twist of fate, and maybe even a touch of destiny!

Hi everyone,
It's time for a new Chinese novel today, and it's a comedic cultivation story! Who Let Him Cultivate?! has 50 chapters out now.
Here's an intro from its translator:
It is the ninth day of the first month of the year—a suitable day for the launch of this novel (I hope… :3) I am Rakumon, the translator of Who Let Him Cultivate?! This novel is known for its refreshing humor and imaginative ideas in the Chinese community. If you like a witty protagonist, interesting side characters, a mystery plot in the background, and plenty of comedy, do read on and be a part of Lu Yang’s journey!
I have previously worked on Consort of a Thousand Faces and Transmigration: Of Mysteries And Songs on Volare. It will be my first time translating a novel from this genre, and it definitely doesn’t help that this novel is heavy with jokes, puns, wordplay, memes, poems, cultural references—you name it. Nonetheless, I will try my best to bring them across to all of you, and please also feel free to share your comments!
The translator’s thought section will be where I’ll share interesting stuff regarding mentions in the novel as well as some thoughts of my own. To find out more, you may also check out my Twitter and Instagram accounts! Lastly, I look forward to seeing you on Discord :D
Perhaps the fate of the cultivation world was sealed the moment Lu Yang decided to join it. This was all thanks to Lu Yang's abilities in artful deception, subverting expectations, triggering miscommunication…and the list goes on.
Along the journey, he meets like-minded and not so like-minded companions who eventually become like-minded, but one thing was for certain—the way is Lu Yang’s way.
“The stars in the sky are fake.”
As an all-out battle of the era looms around the corner, various factions entwine in a clash for dominance, and newly unearthed information begins to question the history of the universe as they knew it.
What is the truth of the world? How to cultivate and live the Lu Yang way? Follow Lu Yang and the gang as they navigate the complex landscape with their antics and shenanigans, bringing (a hopefully positive) impact to the cultivation world.
~~~
“The power of words!” Man Gu earnestly slammed a bulky dictionary on the opponent's head.
“The power of money!” Meng Jingzhou casually hurled a treasure at the enemy.
“The power of Big Senior Sister!” Lu Yang wittingly summoned the most terrifying force—Big Senior Sister.
I'd also like to highlight a reader review written by VoidImmortal0!
This book is very good, and from what I have read so far, if you like comedy, you will definitely like it. The MC seems intelligent and thinks differently from most MCs; this contributes to the book's comedy, which itself is different from most comedy books. He is not the typical MC who is looked down upon and needs to rise from untalented to the top, but from what we have seen, he is not the most talented person either. Up to chapter 30, there hasn't been much (if any) action, but it's still considered part of the introductory chapters, so it is reasonable. Even then, you won't get bored. I would consider this book a hidden gem.
The translation is very good, and the translator seems like a friendly person who tries to communicate with the readers, and I personally like that.
I recommend giving it a try and reading a couple of chapters before making a decision. The chapters are not that long, like most Chinese cultivation books, so you can read a good amount of them and see whether you like it or not.

Hi everyone,
We've just released Life Rebooted with Copy and Paste, a new Korean novel!
In Life Rebooted with Copy and Paste, Kim Do-Joon’s monotonous life takes a thrilling turn when he discovers a game-changing ability: the power to copy and paste the effects of items. What starts as a desperate quest to save his daughter from a rare and debilitating illness soon transforms into an epic journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
The story begins with Kim Do-Joon in a state of despair, feeling trapped in a future that seems bleak and unchanging. His life takes a dramatic turn when he stumbles upon a unique ability that allows him to copy and paste the powers (effects) of any item he encounters and transfer them to other objects—or even to himself. This newfound power becomes a beacon of hope as he embarks on a quest to find a cure for his daughter’s condition, which is the initial motivation driving him.
As he delves deeper into this ability, he discovers that it’s not just a means to an end but a gateway to a new and expanding world. Each item he copy-pastes contributes to his growing strength, and with each step, Kim Do-Joon uncovers more about the mysterious and intriguing world around him. This journey is not only a battle against external obstacles but also a personal transformation as he evolves from a desperate father into a formidable force. The novel blends action, strategy, and emotional depth, making it a compelling read that keeps the audience hooked from start to finish.
Life Rebooted with Copy and Paste is a story of perseverance, transformation, and the relentless pursuit of a better future, proving that even when life seems dark and unchangeable, one extraordinary ability can turn everything around.

Hi everyone,
Today is a very special day, because December 22nd marks Wuxiaworld's 10 year anniversary! On behalf of all of Wuxiaworld's translators, staff, and editors, thank you for your support in enabling us to come this far. Wuxiaworld has undergone many changes and tribulations over the years, but the dedication of our members to bringing you high quality translations and enjoyment has remained throughout.
RWX founded Wuxiaworld with a principle of being as transparent as possible to the community, believing that honesty and forthrightness were a core part of building mutual understanding and a successful platform. It's a principle I admired as a reader before being hired in 2018, and it's one we've endeavoured to continue.
From a humble beginning of just one novel at the end of 2014, Wuxiaworld has grown into a library of just over 200 novels and more than 180,000 chapters (over 350 million words!), with an active roster of well over 100 staff members, translators, and editors.
Wuxiaworld pioneered the English publication of Chinese and Korean webnovels, directly creating the market we currently operate in. We've exhibited at San Diego Comic-Con, we've licensed novels from some of China and Korea's biggest companies, and we've become the home of global hits like Overgeared. Wuxiaworld's path over the last 10 years has been truly historic, and none of it would have been possible without you.
Speaking of beginning with one novel... we're happy to announce that Coiling Dragon has now returned to Wuxiaworld! This is the original untouched translation – not our re-edited, improved version for Amazon publication – so this is the place to go if you're looking for some pure nostalgia!
In preparation for this anniversary, we asked some of Wuxiaworld's initial translators, as well as the authors of some of our novels, if they would like to send commemoratory messages. They contain reflections on the last 10 years and hopes for the future, and we've collated all of them for you to read! We've also created a page for the messages we collected from you guys in an announcement last month.

Earlier in the month we created a thread on our forum for everyone to share their stories of how they found Wuxiaworld, and it's worth checking out! Whether to add your own story, or simply read through the others and reminisce.
Starting today, we're running a five day discount on Amazon! The first volume of Coiling Dragon, Sovereign of the Three Realms, I Shall Seal the Heavens, and Unrivaled Tang Sect has been discounted to just $0.99, and the rest of the volumes are all also discounted. Amazon has a gifting feature, so if you have a friend or family member you want to convert into a webnovel reader, and you haven't bought them anything for Christmas yet... here's an option! Unfortunately Amazon's system for running discounts is only available for .com and .co.uk though. And due to some limitations in their rules, there are two volumes of CD and one volume of SOTR that we haven't been able to include.
Our next novel launch will be on the 27th, so we'll also take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas! We still have more events planned for this anniversary celebration throughout the next month, so check back soon! And again, thank you.
