News The Godsfall Chronicles (陨神记) Launching on Wuxiaworld!

Creating new book release threads on NUF is the latest 'cool thing' to do, right? I want to be cool too!

I'm happy to announce that 17k.com novel 'The Godsfall Chronicles' (陨神记, formerly known as The Fallen God) is now officially launching on Wuxiaworld! We are launching with twenty chapters (well, prologue + 19 chapters) which are about as long as forty 'normal' chapters, and I will personally lead this project. I have fully read up to the latest raws, and honestly believe that The Godsfall Chronicles is a webnovel which comes closer to 'print-quality fantasy' than any webnovel that I have ever read before.

Since Desolate Era will remain my main project, The Godsfall Chronicles will start off a bit slow at around ~5 chapters a week until the sub-translators I've been working with get into their groove and start producing at both the speed and quality which I insist on (if you think you are up for it, go ahead and ping me!), at which point it'll hopefully be at 2 chapters / day. I've included both my synopsis and the author synopsis below. I strongly recommend you read this, and I know you won't be disappointed!

RWX's English Synopsis: The nuclear holocaust which caused the collapse of the Old Times on Earth should have wiped out all human life on the planet. Yes, the gods set up their beautiful Elysiums to provide sanctuaries for their chosen, but by all rights everyone outside the elysian lands should've perished long ago. Yet somehow, human life still managed to persist, even in the deadly, mutant-infested wastelands. Cloudhawk was a young scavenger who dreamed of being as free as the hawks in the skies, yet seemed destined to live out his life scrounging for scraps in the wasteland ruins. Fate, however, is ever-fickle. A chance meeting with a ragtag group of mercenaries changed the trajectory of his life, bringing him into a world with mutants and metahumans, demonhunters and godslayers, and even gods and demons. Cloudhawk would find his own place in a world that was far greater than he had imagined, find his own path between the zealous light of Sumeru and the whispering darkness of the Abyss... and one day, he would find that even gods may fall.

Official Chinese Synopsis: This is a world of nirvanic rebirth, a world of marvels and illusions, a world where faith is enduring and yet ruined. This is the story of a youth who seems ordinary, but who shoulders an earth-shaking secret and burden. He shall rise to prominence from his humble roots and walk a tightrope between life and death, and be lost in deciding between what is right and what is wrong. He seeks out the truth behind the destruction of Earth's civilizations, and shall experience unbelievable dangers as he grows. In the end, he shall discover the hidden secrets behind the ancient war between the gods and the demons, and shall play the lead role in this stunning and exciting story!

Note - Dual-language readers, every so often, you may notice a few minor differences between the translations and the raws. This is because I am in extremely close contact with the author, and he has given me full permission to modify and edit a few scenes as I see appropriate in order to either improve them or to better localize them. In essence, I will be both his translator and his editor. If any of the changes are major (none thus far are planned), they will be fully vetted with him and I will get his permission first, and the changes in the English version might actually be mirrored by changes in the Chinese raws later on!

 

"Slow"= 5 chapters/week can't complain though

 

You're translating this?

 

Lol, our version of slow seem to be different ren....
Congrats though!

 

Ren is translating this...wow. @LaDyViL time to change the name of the novel in NU.
EDIT: It is currently listed as http://www.novelupdates.com/series/fallen-god-records/

 

"Slow"
"5 chapters a week"
"Every chapter is twice the length of a normal chapter"
Jesus dude get some sleep

 

Only the early ones are that long, although they start to balloon later as well..

 

Yeah I also read to the latest raws. Great Novel. The atmosphere is somewhat similar to the Movie Mad Max.
Thanks for the new novel!

 

You should really ask them to update the NU page

 

That image saying 'The Mask' though, now i'm imagining Jim Carrey cultivating.

 

We need a RWX read list one day lol.
Thanks alot I'm expecting great things.

 

Damn ... just as I thought I had a working timetable with a spare slot left for DB translating AWE for my reading lists you have to show up with that ...

Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to it!

 

if 5 chapters a week is slow then what are those 1 chapter a month people?

 

More novels! Thanks!

 

Woot woot!

 

@rwxwuxiaworld Thanks for translating this. Glad to add a new novel to my reading list. Imagine if every translator's definition of slow was like ren's.

 

Congratulations rwx! For you there's no problem if people leave or stay he'll just translate them all in his own "slow" pace. Fighto!

 

Congrats! Hope it becomes another major hit like ATG! Good luck
