    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    Because it's awesome. One of my favourite Chinese novels.

    Before someone posts a rant, the translator is going to drop it after 35 chapters. See HERE.
    I just want the news out so that potential translators know in advance and contact Starve to know more. Last time it was dropped, it took months for a new translator to pick it up.

    Also, stats from NU because filler.

    Description:

    17k’s Synopsis:

    I cannot hand this world over to those who I disdain!

    Thus, Wang Chong stepped over mountains of bones and rivers of blood to ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor. With his might, he reversed the fall of the Great Tang and brought it to the pinnacle of the world, thus becoming an unsurpassable legend!

    ——————————————————

    Starve’s Synopsis

    Forcefully brought over from the modern world to an alternate world, Wang Chong felt detached and lived his life aimlessly.

    However, when calamity struck and he saw his family and everything he cared for being torn apart, he felt regret.

    Thus, he stood up and eventually became the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, leading an army against those who seek to destroy all he cherished.

    Yet, despite all his efforts, it was already too late to reverse destiny.

    But before his death, a shooting star, the same one which brought him to this world, appeared before him, and he was given another chance to undo his regrets.

    As long as no paywall (preferably no MTL too), I'd be happy if someone minded picking it up! It's such a good novel.

    I'm kind of sad that the translator is dropping it soon, but I respect their decision. They're really awesome!

    Can you specify how it was racist? Or the chapter you mean? I want to recheck and reevaluate my opinion.

    Well its about ancient china and an era of war. So obviously there is name calling when faced with people who want to distroy their country. I don't think that's racist when they have a valid reason to hate on them.

    This is one of the best novel and I hope someone good picks it up because it has some wordplay and wit in it and I don't want it to be lost in translation. Most probably WW will pick it up.

    Is this worth reading? Last time i read it was like 80 chapters in and it was still on that stupid sword material bet thing. The overall premise was fine but i disliked the execution of this arc overall.

    It is a 17K novel, not Qidian. So they won't TL.
    The racism isn't major. The foreign nation forces are slaughtered by Wang Chong's army tho

    I hope they find a translator to carry this series on. And the novel isn't really racist like let's say 9 heavenly thunder manual or God and Devil World.

    Not unless someone comes to us with it. And even then, since 250 chapters will have been done by someone else, that makes it iffy. Possible it could happen, but we don't just "pick up" novels. You need someone to translate it. Unfortunate reality of novels that get dropped after several hundred chapters. Everything becomes a bit more complicated. Seems to be a popular novel, hopefully someone good will pick it up.

    Um, in almost every subjective remark the MC has uttered concerning foreigners in general, Turks more specifically. idk about exact chapters, but it is not hard to spot once you pick up on it.
    To say it nicely the MC hold's contempt for foreigners, which was pretty racist last i checked. it is not extreme enough to affect his dealings with them though.
