Hi everybody! I'm a silent leecher who has been quietly reading a lot of stories here for ages now. I really fell in love with Tomatoes works, so I went ahead and spent the past few months reading them all in Chinese, which was really slow but totally worth it. I saw that his current novel, The Desolate Era, isn't being translated yet, so I went ahead and started today! I finished Chapter 1 and am already on work on Chapter 2. I cant be as crazy like the Zhan Long guys at http://gravitytranslations.com/ or Ren Wo Xing at wuxiaworld.com, but I promise Ill try my best to update 3-5 times a week, or maybe even once or twice a day if you guys like it enough. Anyhow, I really hope you guys like my translation! I'll post the first chapter here as well so everyone gets a sense of what it's like, and then I'll post the other chapters back at worldofwatermelons.com
