One of the coolest things about freelance editing for this series is getting to read the books first, obviously—but another one is seeing the illustrations in the final editions, ahhh!!

Also people keep asking me if I find AI translation helpful in my work and AI TRANSLATION IS NOWHERE NEAR COMMERCIAL QUALITY and NO I DON'T EDIT AI TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER FOR ME TO JUST DO THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION THAN EDIT CRAP because PAINTING CRAP WITH GOLD DOESN'T TURN CRAP INTO GOLD

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

I noticed some comments that people expected "Joyful Reunion" to be lighthearted based on the title! Let's talk poetry, something Fei Tian Ye Xiang loves. "Joyful Reunion" is a famous tune dating to the Southern Tang. Li Yu wrote two "Joyful Reunion" poems, one of which is quoted in the novel.

Seconding how much of a *cough* joy it has been to work on this book with you guys. I have been getting a crash course in classical-style Chinese poetry courtesy of Fei Tian Ye Xiang, and I am *living* for it. The translation team and editorial team knocked this one out of the park.

But sometimes my notes were more like: “we already called his dick thick a couple of lines ago, can we say girthy instead here?” Or this one lmao (the joys of being a gay nerd and devoting my editorial craft to polishing a sex scene up to maximum hotness,)

So today is release day for the first volume of ‘Joyful Reunion’ by Arise Zhang/Fei Tian Ye Xiang!! As a lifelong BL fan who’s also a gay guy, it was an honor beyond measure to work on this particular series (even in a minor role) with the amazing translators Suika, Mimi, and yunyun.

Happiest of book birthdays to Joyful Reunion! This one is a must for fans of SPL and QJJ - a sweeping coming of age story rife with politics & war, betrayals, romance, & a variety of sexy assassins
