    Hi all. A lot of us avid ATG readers are worried about what is the status of the novel. The author posted a note:
    https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7dTz_0mJWIcLdRiVv2Gixg
    Could a kind sir or madam translate this for us? Even if it is a summarized translation would help. Thanks!

    I hope it's him announcing he's going on hiatus. Permanently.

    Thank you very much. That is what the prevailing opinion was.

    All: Was there another note after this one, or is it the latest one?

    Not sure whether it has something to do with Mars-Gravity being a Civil Service employee (which he mentioned in one of the chapter's author notes section, not sure whether he was joking). Is it even legal for a China Civil servant to moonlight as a novel writer?

    10天之后满血复活!!!
    I'mma revive with my HP maxed after 10 days!!!
    每天陪你们浪!!!
    Then I'll come play* with y'all!!

    * the word used is 'going wild' which means 'going all out' in this case

    我是谁!!!
    Who am I!!!
    我是最强的宇宙超级霹雳无敌美少女!!!
    I'm the most powerful and ultra-thunder-strikingly invincible beautiful young girl*!!!

    * think 'shoujo'

    ps.我不是说这次出现之后10天才上来,是10天之后可以尽情的和大家浪,这10天内可能还是有点忙,但是我还是会来的!!!
    P.S. I don't mean I'm appearing 10 days after today. I mean after 10 days, I'll go all out with everyone. I'll be a little busy during these next 10 days but I'll still be here/online*!!

    *Referring to her updates I think


    。。。最近都不敢和火星叔叔说话了,旷工这么久
    ...I've skipped work for so long, I don't dare to talk to Uncle Mars these days

    脑子好乱。。。饿得慌
    My head's in a mess... and I'm crazy hungry

    之前打了一堆字↓
    The words below was the stuff I typed previously ↓

    Let me vomit three litres of blood first!!!
    Uncle Mars' already exploded, but why hasn't Mars Girl appeared?
    ...recently
    It's just that some stuff happened in bits and pieces
    I need to contact a hundred plus people (more actually) every day... every time Mars Girl sees her Wechat notification, Mars Girl's head will hurt... when Mars Girl isn't seeing her Wechat notifications, her head's hurting as well...
    I need to go out tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow tomorrow...
    Still haven't gotten off work...
    And I need to move house... I haven't packed and I'll be out the entire weekend, what am I gonna do...
    I'm moving over the weekend... I'll be out on both Sat and Sun, how am I going to squeeze out time to pack... does this mean that I'll have to start packing when I get back home later... the office's moving as well, but I won't be there when they move so I don't know if anyone will move my things for me... maybe I should come back to pack my things after going to check out the hotel and ordering dinner... but it'll take me 30 minutes to travel... and there so much stuff I haven't done, oh my goodness!! Haven't eaten dinner yet... what should I buy later, cup noodles? But I'm so sick of the kimchi cup noodles, that's right I've eaten so much of it I'm sick of it
    I still need to organize the weekend event for the several dozens of people... and I accidentally missed out something in my daily report... I wanna die... but I sent it out already!!!! Gah I don't care anymore!!!
    My head...
    Looks like it'll be very hot tomorrow, what should I wear... I still haven't taken out my summer clothes burried in my closet!!! I absolutely have no time to do that!! It's been this warm for a month already!!! But I'm moving anyway... I'll take it out after moving, but what should I wear to the event that's 3 days later, I'mma be meeting people!!!
    Suddenly!!!

    [end pic]



    ····现在脑子里只有明天上午的工作安排。。。
    ...all I have in my head is tomorrow morning's work schedule...
    我饿了。。。回去吃面。。
    I'm hungry... I'm going back to eat my noodles...
    明天见,让我整理一下思路(恶补一下没看的更新,整整6章!!还有谁!!!)。。。
    See you guys tomorrow. And let me arrange my thoughts (I need to cram all the 6 chaps I haven't read!! Who else's with me!!!)



    啊啊啊!!!还要选留言!!!
    Ahhh!!! You guys need to comment* first!!!

    * Referring to commenting before reading I think?

    今天只有沙发,其他的明天选
    There's only the sofa* today. I'll pick the rest tomorrow.

    *'Sofa' is referring to the first comment in a thread post, so when someone grabs the first comment, they usually say 'sitting on the sofa' or the likes)
