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.
