It was said that the cry of the baby startled Xie Xun, not the cry of the boy. I think Xie Xun would have had the same affection if Wuji were a girl.

To YOU. I wouldn't mind.That would've made HSDS much less enjoyable IMO.
*imagines ZWJ as a girl*
She would have Song Qingshu lusting after her instead of after ZZR, and she would be cat-fighting with ZM, ZZR, XZ, and ZE over *gasps* Yang Xiao!
Sure sounds like my ideal wuxia novel.
You are sick Jade, Yang Xiao is so old. Why not bring Cheng Kun into this?
He is a bit old but let's not forget that he, along with Fan Yao before he disfigured his face, were the best looking guys in the novel.
Hmm...I'm quite liking Renna's version. That does sound pretty hot. But too bad we'll never see a wuxia novel with a heroine finding all the crazy martials arts with 4 hot guys after her.
But I think having a female protagonist and 4 hot males going after her will significantly reduce JY's readership. Maybe thats why it hasn't happened. It has always appealed to male readers.
That's the problem with guys. No matter how good the wuxia aspect of the story might be, as long as the main character is a popular female, guys won't read it. I seriously think women are so underrepresented in the wuxia genre, besides serving as flower vases and love interests.

Talking animals is our reality, not just a fantasy dear.
But just for Yittzy's sake, we should totally add more animals to the story. A giant, dying ape and a spider is not good enough.
And how do you know those "males" are really all males?
also, how well does spcnet posters reflect the actual wuxia readership? spcnet is a very isolated community.
don't be fooled.
for example, i remember seeing a poll a few years ago that the most popular manga serial among girls was...shonen jump!
and yes. we should have the giant condor pair up with the gorilla from HSDS. oh the forbidden love of interspecies relationships.

Manga is different to classic wuxia, which Jin Yong is doing.
Spcnet is a random society. Its a random mix of people, we didn't come in here because we are male or female. So its a good representation of the wider population. And the easiest one for me to think of right now.
