Afterword
A note from Jaspaaar, the editor:
And that's the end of Refining the Mountains and Rivers!
It brings bittersweet feelings for me – RMR marked the end of Hyorinmaru's time as a translator, after he stepped away last May to focus on IRL commitments. He started with Martial World on a one man Wordpress blog in February 2016, and I joined him later that month. And now the completion of RMR marks the end of my time as an editor, both so that I can focus more on my responsibilities in managing Wuxiaworld, and to enable me to have some more personal time without juggling both roles. No longer having the routine of editing two chapters every day after seven years feels strange!
I know the story's conclusion was abrupt, but I hope you had a fun time with Refining the Mountains and Rivers nonetheless. I'd like to thank Coca and Corlumbus for stepping in to pick up from where Hyorinmaru left off; taking over a translation with so many established terms and details isn't an easy job, and I know that the style of the writing in Chinese was often challenging.
There are many more Chinese cultivation novels on Wuxiaworld for you to enjoy, and plenty of new ones will be arriving in the coming months.
Thank you for reading.
