    Why It Should Get Picked Up
    :

    I have read the translated chapter and sneak peak by MTL and I can conclude that "Purple River" is a great masterpiece. The story is witty, humorous, heroic and tragic. I love the writer choice of words, quotes and poem and also how the writer describes the large war scenes and builds the characters of the people inside the story.

    Moreover, from Baike I found out that this novel has received award "Top ten outstanding novel" in June 2009. Hence, it is a pity that such great work (only 326 chapters, 2,200,000 words) is not translated to the end.

    Description (copied from novelupdates):

    Two hundred years ago, on the Battlefield of the Blue River, the last remaining army of the Empire of Light collapsed in the midst of demonic outcries. As the last Field Marshal and Emperor fell, the chaotic world of the Western River no longer had a common ruler. Factions were formed and endless conflicts ensued, military might became the only currency of survival, and the dream to reunite the lands became the sole goal of many rulers in the generations that came after.

    In the south-eastern part of the land, a powerful faction with over two hundred years of history – House ZiChuan – fought off the Demons to the east, defended against the House Liu Feng to the west, and contained the House Lin to the south. In order to accomplish their great ambitions and extend the bloodline of their family, countless heroes of ZiChuan gave their lives in order to make this magnificent hymn come to life. This is a story about this legendary family and a hundred years of their blood and tears.

    Nope, there is no cultivation in it.
    It is Fantasy, Martial Arts, Drama and War

    Are translators afraid of getting persecuted or just because it's Qidian, because in my view the latter reason/excuse is not really a good one as long as the webnovel is good.
