I made it to chapter 17. Translation quality seems totally fine. Unfortunately the story itself is so bad that I cannot continue. Basically the behaviour of the MC doesn't really match what a thousand year old monster would do, even though the author keeps bringing that up.
The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is a Wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). It was first serialized in Hong Kong in the newspaper Ming Pao from 20 April 1967 to 12 October 1969.Alternative Names:• Laughing in the Wind• State of Divinity• The Peerless Gallant Errant• The Proud and Gallant Wanderer• Xiao Ao Jiang Hu• 笑傲江湖Translators:• Lanny Lin (Chapter 1 - 21)• HHaung (Chapter 21)• Pokit (Chapter 21 onwards)• Bliss (Chapter 30 and 31)Editor:• HHaung (Chapter 21 onwards)The reason I'm putting up this novel is so I can read it for personal use. I watched the State of Divinity (1996 TV series) and loved that show. I knew there was a Novel of it but never spent the time to look for it until now. Was reading it online but the chapters very LONG and I keep loosing track of where I left off so I came here. Reading it off Webnovel is so much easier especially since it keeps track of where you left off. Unfortunately Webnovel has a 20k word / 100k character limit for each chapter so I had no choice but to chop up the chapters into parts.For those who also want to read this feel free. I am not taking someone else's work and passing them off as my own, full credit is given to the original writer, translators and editor as listed in the descriptions, plus the content of this novel is free online in multiple sources for everyone to read. So putting this up on Webnovel is just for my own convenience sake and anyone else who wishes to read this
I have a lot to say about this story, but I’ll include a short version for people who glance at reviews instead of reading all of them to completion. The Hitting Zone is a slice of life story, and I love everything about it! That’s it, I hope to make a more comprehensive review without making a summary or another synopsis. Writing Quality is a bit vague and hard to quantify, so I’ll do some more explaining. English is my first language, and the writing of this story is better than some of my classmates. I have no issues to bring up about this. Some stories have a higher reading level and showcase a lot more vocabulary. Sometimes those stories can be too much, which is another reason why I like this story. The writing style matches the tones and themes of the story. That is why I believe it deserves full marks.Stability of Updates is much ******r. Since I began reading, I’ve seen at least one chapter released each day. Seeing two released in a day isn’t uncommon either. Five stars.Story Development is a bit more nebulous as well. Though when looking at things objectively, not much has been accomplished. I would say that the story has shown three major plot points so far. Though these moments are major because the are key to the development of the main character. What makes this hard is that this is a Slice of Life. It is hard to say, but four stars. Character Design, I feel more indifferent about this. Characters don’t show very much depth beyond that our main ‘crew’. That isn’t to say that I don’t like reading about other characters or anything. It’s just that they are people, and nothing else. I suppose you could argue that this is a Slice of Life and that is the point, and in real life people are much less complex. Generally speaking. So this is why I feel like four stars is a reasonable compromise.World Background, I feel similarly apathetic. The world of,”The Hitting Zone” is our world. California, USA to be exact. Nothing special. Again, this is Slice of Life. So I decided to make the same compromise. Four stars. In conclusion,”The Hitting Zone” is a Slice of Life through and through. For what it is, it’s quality is among the highest here on WebNovel or anywhere else. It’s been a joy too read and I feel grateful and lucky that I found it, and that the author chooses to put their work out there. I’m looking forward to reading more!
I really love this story cause it's full of things that boost your imagination and let you go to places that you never know can exist with the idea of friendship and loyalty.
