    I saw this post, http://www.wuxiaworld.com/a-hearty-wuxiaworld-welcome-to-the-legend-he-man/, And was like, "Waaaaaaa, Could it be! He he he He-Man!" queue girly shriek.

    To make the mater short, the first time I read xianxia was because of this man *cough*GOD*cough* And I have the nagging feeling that Im not the only one, so whose translation was the first xianxia you guys read?

    I dont know all the Xianxia out there so if you started with something else then tell me its name please!

    First I read BTTH manhua and then part of Douluo Dalu manhua. Then I switched to the Douluo Dalu novel. After that I don't remember if it was MGA or CD or TDG or ATG.

    My first one was Douluo Dalu. Saw a link to the google drive on some site while I was reading LMS I think. And from the discussion documents there I learned of CD

    Manga->Manhua->Battle through the heavens->Btth novel->Novels.

    After that I really got into IAT's novels and Duoluo Dalu.
    Too bad there's not much IAT novels translated atm (SS only one with regular chapters though slow coming, ST kinda on break, inch of radiance and 9 cauldron awol).

    The unavoidable author a few months back, now there's hardly anything :(

    CD when there were about 10-11 books translated.
    It's actually being translated at a steady pace of 1-2 chapters/day.

    Also, if you like IET's novels, you might want to check Desolate Era, I think it has more than 150 chapters already translated and it's going to be translated even faster now since Ren picked it up.

    Can't remember if it was Douluo Dalu or Tales of Demons and Gods. I didn't start reading chinese novels until a few months back.

    He-man's Stellar Transformations, I started reading it as a way to procrastinate from my summer reading assignment while at my father's house and then couldn't put it down.
