I don't have high hopes from the translations. 大王饶命 why would someone translate it as "Great Lord" instead of "Great King" or "Majesty"? Plus the original synopsis use "spiritual energy" and not "magical energy". Chinesse novels usually use dharma character followed by qi character for magical energy. Plus the originality of the novel lies in the subtle jokes. So I am skeptical. The translators have a bad habit of using pinyin for cultivation realms or locations as I have seen in Immortal Mortal. They made a lot of mistakes and diverted from author's original intent. So yeah all the best to readers. Btw this novel is #1 in China. It's a good read. I like the humor in it.

"The translators have a bad habit of using pinyin" Agreed 1000%... Pinyin is transliteration, not translation. I can accept (=deal with) it in names of people, but for Heaven's translation/localization is supposed to be better than that.

I don't translate because that's not my job. But as a reader, I do have the right to complain if the quality is bad. If you go to a restaurant and don't like the food, the staff can't tell you to cook just because you complained about quality.

They also changed the currency to from Chinese to US but didn't adjust for the value, so all the numbers feel way too high
