    Isn't alway supposed to be always? It just feels wrong when it's spelt alway. Took me awhile to find out what it means too. Added the s and I found out, it took me a minute

    China only seems to have like 100 names that they reuse so I barely pay attention to most of them.

    based on letters? Like the Chinese then I assume? But besides the first time a new character is introduced translators basically never show the Chinese letters ever again...

    And I'm also with the people who tend to forget characters, but instantly remember who they are and what they've done when I see them in the novel again.

    I literally make a note with: the title of the story, Main MC & main girl, the start of the story (reincarnation, return to the past, etc.), and most memorable arc and save it in both my laptop and mobile. Too many CN with too similar names and plots....Lin Feng, Chu Feng, Chu Yang, Qin Yu, Ye Qingyu, Linley, Leylin...o_O????

    Especially when characters in different novels have the same name.

    well chinese and korean names are confusing as fuck and there's often 5 different names used for one person
    for example in LLS the mc is "yue yang" "xia san" "third young master"
    and then there's all the other Yue people that are so freaking similar "yue yang" and "yue yan"
    doesn't happen that often with japanese stories though, except if the update speed is horrid

    I don't have any problems keeping each story separate. My brain is like a filing cabinet.

    I am cursed with the inability to remember Chinese names. It's terrible. Especially the names with X's and Y's.
    (In one novel, where the MC started working Chinese to English translator, her boss makes everyone take up an English name because he says foreigners have problems with XYZ names. lol.)

    I have no problem remembering plots though.

    Not sure if you would like this kind of novel though. It's basically thriller romance between a somewhat serious woman and an eccentric psychology expert who get involved solving criminal cases. It has some surprising funny moments. Story is completely translated.
