Demi-gods and Semi-devils Chapter 01
I know it's been done before but I decide to tackle this out of my interest in writing wuxia. I figured that translating a novel that I like would inspire my own writing as well as getting to grips with wuxia-specific terms.
Well, I don't think many people will read this but I'll be very grateful to those who do take the time to do so. Feedback is much appreciated so I can improve as a writer, translator and wuxia student. I'm posting the link to my blog because I set it up with floating explanations when you mouse over the footnotes.

Demi-gods and Semi-devils
Hi,
Appreciate your efforts, looking forward to reading your translation
Would like to note that DGSD has not actually been completed yet, they are up to chapter 34 I believe.
It might be worth coordinating with the existing translators (e.g.; http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/member.php/94184-d4rksinz) re a joint effort by splitting up the remainder
Of course, I'm being selfish, I just want to get a final version in English. :D
It may be that you just want to translate the entire book by yourself as an academic exercise , of course.
Best,
Jack
