    Umm... I don't read that novel, but it seems that novel uses the Japanese naming system instead.

    Wow, I should've known. Thanks a whole bunch though! Another question how do you recognize names and how long they are?

    You will recognize names as you get used to the language. But if you have just started out, it's best to get used to the common verbs like 是,在,的. A simple sentence would usually have a pronoun, or a name before these common verbs. Like, 我是(I am)or 小明是 (Xiao Ming is).

    Sometimes you might have an adjective in front of a name or pronoun -> 美丽的小可... (Beautiful Xiao Ke...)

    It's really just getting used to it, I think?

    Honestly, I'm not really good at teaching Chinese, rofl. But I would suggest you take a step at a time with understanding the basic structure first before worrying about names. You will be more worried about how flexible the structure of Chinese sentences can actually be.

    Thank you very much! I'm pretty sure I get it now. I guess using NEET recieves a dating system was a bad choice of example due to the japanese like names.
