Picked Up Joy of Life

Name: Joy of Life (庆余年)

Raw Link: http://book.qidian.com/info/114559 or http://tw.wxdzs.com/wxchapter/9728.html

NU Link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/joy-of-life/

Why It Should Get Picked Up: It's a Chinese reincarnation novel with a cunning MC, it's main tags are politics and from what I hear the character development is fantastic. So far the pace is still a wee slow in the beginning but I like what it's building up to, it's showing really great potential so far. Plus seriously, SMART MC, GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and POLITICS. For me, those three tags properly executed equals an awesome novel. Plus the raws are complete.

Description (from NU page):
That lonesome night as he lays dying in the hospital, fearing of death and desiring the taste of life, his mind became unprecedentedly complex with mixed emotions.
Myasthenia gravis — an incurable disease where one’s muscle slowly degenerated until the day when one can no longer move and only tears may flow.
“Is this… dying?”
When he opened his eyes again, he had crossed over into the body of a two year old infant, right in the middle of an assassination attempt.
He was born as the illegitimate son of a noble. His name was Fan Xian; and with that name came the burden of deep political secrets and the legacy of his mother.
He understood; to survive, he needed unparalleled strength, money and political power.
To a new world with the luxury of a new life, so named; Celebrating the Remaining Life.

The pacing so far ain't fast but again, I like how its building up the characters, not only the MC but also the supporting characters, and the plot was only beginning to thicken when the translator stopped translating at a preview chapter for volume 2 ch.6 almost about half a year ago. I haven't read this again in a while plus im not good at explaining things but I remember what drew me in was keimichi's review on the NU page: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/joy-of-life/#comment-16129
I'd just copy paste the whole review but I don't wanna fill up the page too much. Someone please pick it up T-T

 

Nice I think someone should pick this up too....

 

There was a poll thread for that one just yesterday.

Actually it's a pretty old poll. Recruited a new translator as the work done on Martial Emperor Reborn was not good enough. Hoping to recruit more translators so release speed is faster.
I won't mind if someone picks it up as I am still reshuffling my team and building a website.

 

Thanks for the link! Tho its a bit late and probably won't do anything, vote casted to show my love for this novel~ lol

 

no problem.

 

Somebody revived it the other day.

 

I will try to get an admin to remove irrelevant novels from the poll

 

This novel is definitely one of the best around.

 

the novel seems interesting, hope someone would pick it up.

 

That would be amazing.

 

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could pick up the novel Joy of Life. It has been dropped for six months now and the last chapter translated is v2c6. It is a martial arts, xianxia novel.

Here is the summary:
That lonesome night as he lays dying in the hospital, fearing of death and desiring the taste of life, his mind became unprecedentedly complex with mixed emotions.

Myasthenia gravis — an incurable disease where one’s muscle slowly degenerated until the day when one can no longer move and only tears may flow.

“Is this… dying?”

When he opened his eyes again, he had crossed over into the body of a two year old infant, right in the middle of an assassination attempt.

He was born as the illegitimate son of a noble. His name was Fan Xian; and with that name came the burden of deep political secrets and the legacy of his mother.

He understood; to survive, he needed unparalleled strength, money and political power.

To a new world with the luxury of a new life, so named; Celebrating the Remaining Life.
It is really interesting and it has a high rating so I was wondering if anyone could pick up the translation.

"The sorrows of life, to not be able to live like yourself.
The joys of life, to be able to die like yourself.
Do I, deserve to be so happy...?" - Karren von Rosewald
Sorry, nothing to add here, just quoting Tokyo Ghoul because the title reminded me of it.

 

Seems, it's written by the author of Ze Tian Ji. I'm interested in reading it
