    Has anyone been reading "Throne of Magical Arcana"? Just recently started reading it and I am very impressed with the story. Editing has been top notch and the story has flowed well.
    The story seems to be using English names (I haven't checked the raws to see what is in the original) which work very well for it. If I did not know it was a translation I would think it was an original work in English set in a western fantasy world.
    Typically I prefer to see Chinese names used since (imo) it otherwise detracts from the story but in this case it seems to have worked well. By far one of the best novels on Qidian in regards to quality.

    Raw is using western name so it will be nonsense to use chinese name, I don't want to read another Lucifer translated as Lu Xifa

    Thanks for telling me. Makes it that much better. The story is excellent and as I said before it reads like it was originally written in english.

    Yeah this is one of the few that I follow on QI, and thank god the translation is really good.

    Though I kinda miss the old translator that use archaic english when the priest spoke XD, but I guess that will be hard to read for some and it will create unnecessary trouble for translator

    It's funny because later the Pope would give him the title Morningstar. Yep, Lucifer Morningstar.
