- MXTX Novels (Mo Dao Zu Shi, Scum Villain, Heaven Officials Blessing)
For people who aren't familiar with MXTX, she's a danmei (Chinese gay novel) writer! She's written three works - Mo Dao Zu Shi (in English it's called The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation), Scum Villain's Self Saving System, and Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing)
- Mo Dao Zu Shi The Untamed | Kintsugi
This is the shortest of the novels (I think it comes in at slightly under 300k), has the most manageable cast, and is the most linear It has a bit of a rough start, but I'm unsure whether that's the translators finding their footing or the novel assuming the readers are already familiar with genre conventions Mxtx was still in high school when she wrote this, and was still finding her

MXTX takes such a light hand with that sort of thing in canon, and the scene where he tries to warn young LQG and SQQ off their future mistakes (despite knowing it's completely futile) kind of hits like a truck because it's so understated

Oh hey, like four days after I became (maybe) the first person to own a physical english set of mxtx books (very line-edited for svsss and mdzs), official english translations were announced XDDD

Sethrial MacCoill Attempts were made Bad news: a 45K word fic I spent months on only got 4 kudos Good news: It's a fic for an incredibly small fandom that averaged a consistent four and a half views a chapter with every weekly update 4 kudos when probably a grand total of 5 people read it is an incredibly high rate
