Month: February 2018

To my dear readers,

You guys are so funny in the comments! Haha!! I think I have a lot of pervy readers :P. Anyway, I’ll be releasing this chapter in a few hours. I just need to finish going through it again. It takes me so long because I modify the original raws a lot. But don’t worry, it’ll be worth the wait. 🙂 This chapter is one of the funniest chapters (to me).

In the meantime, check out this post on How most Asian parents think <– If you’re Asian, you should read and tell me if you agree. If you’re not Asian, you should still read and see how messed up Asians are. LOLOLOL.

Ok. I’ll be back to post Chapter 165 later. Please turn off adblock. It is really tough to earn any ad revenue these days.

P.S. Poor Leng Jun Yu is gonna suffer .. hahaha
P.P.S. After this chapter, I’ll be on chapter 128 of the raws. But that chapter alone has over 12k Chinese characters. FML. I have cut a lot of the bs, leave all the good parts, and add lots of adjectives and adverbs to make you guys feel all the fluffy emotions. Any amount of donations/pledges is appreciated.

Here is Chapter 165 (I need to take a break now. By break, I mean, I need to rest for two days or something. I’ve run out of brain cells.)

To my dear readers,

You guys are so perverted! LOL I read all the comments. 😛 Haha. Ohhh dear. You guys will love the next two chapters. But Leng Jun Yu is not going to find out Le Yao Yao is female for a long, long time… the novel is sooooooo draggy and slow. (Remember, this is still the same night as the Dowager Empress’s birthday).

I have to edit a lot to keep all the juicy parts. If you appreciate my work, please tell others about this novel!

Here is a snippet of the upcoming chapter (I know, I’m evil):

Leng Jun Yu was panting and his eyes were burning. He looked like a starving beast as he intently gazed at Le Yao Yao.

“Do you know what to do next?”

“Eh? No? What do you do next??” *hiccup*

Le Yao Yao shook her head in a confusing manner. She had no idea she was walking into the traps of the big bad wolf.

Leng Jun Yu opened his lips and his raspy voice rang, “Next, you have to take off this Prince’s clothes…”

“Take off your clothes? Ok. *hiccup* I’ll take off your clothes then…”

“Ohhhh! Your chest is so elastic and firm…*hiccup*…hehehehe!”

Leng Jun Yu smiled. He was acting like the wolf who wanted to kidnap Little Red Riding Hood. He asked in his low raspy voice, “Do you… like it?”

“Mmm! I like it!” Le Yao Yao nodded like she was pounding garlic.

Leng Jun Yu slowly reached his large hand and touched Le Yao Yao’s cheek. He could feel the heat on his palm and his heart softened. He gazed at Le Yao Yao lovingly, “If only you were a woman…”

And this is what the bots can steal today: Can men and women be purely friends?

Chapter 164

To my dear readers,

Firstly, I would like to thank Dillycat for her donation to me! Thank you for choosing to support me. I’m glad you like my translations and decided to give it another try! <3   .

Secondly, if you haven’t already, check out my instagram –> https://www.instagram.com/grace7127/ (I didn’t link it because I’m afraid the bots will steal my instagram lol). I have been posting artwork from all my readers! (I’ve posted 9 so far, and there are 2 more left). I comment my thoughts on it and use a lot of hashtags.. so make sure you go take a look!!

Thirdly, there will be 4 releases per week for the next 4 weeks. I still have around 20 patrons so that is 2 bonus chapters (1 bonus for every 10 patrons). Plus, I promised 1 bonus chapter for every 5 art submissions (I have 11, so that means 2 bonus chapters). I can’t promise you exactly when they will be released but I’ll make sure to do as I say.

If you appreciate my efforts, please turn off adblock.

I will be releasing the actual chapter before I go to bed. Chapter 162 has already been fully released.

Here is the post that the bots can steal today. It is on speed dating. It’s actually quite interesting so feel free to check it out! Speed dating (Some of you might have read this before if you follow Grace Time on volare. I will mix it up because I have over a hundred person blog posts to choose from haha).

Chapter 163

To my dear readers,

Dongfang Bai will finally figure out Le Yao Yao is female. But he isn’t going to expose her. The King of Hell is not going to figure out for a long long time. Please remember, we’re still on the Dowager Empress’s birthday.

Today, the bots can steal How to read Chinese . Unfortunately, some sites are still stealing my work. I have thought of a solution and will be implementing it eventually. I know there will be a huge outrage but I’m at a point where I don’t care anymore.

Chapter 162

Thank you for all the support and nice comments. Please consider donating if you like my work.

 

To my dear readers,

First, I would like to thank an anonymous donor for her donation to me. Thank you so much for your support!!! Next, please check out my FAQ if you have questions. If you want spoilers, there is a spoilers thread on Novelupdate forum.

Today, I will let the bots steal my post on Do you act differently online compared to real life? This is a very interesting topic with many comments. So if you are interested, feel free to check it out!

I’ll release the actual chapter later *not specifying the time, but I will do it before I go to bed*.

Note: I am very slow at translating. Please be patient. If you are dying, please considered reading my other works on volare. I also translated, “Your Highness, I know my wrongs.” and “Doomed to be Cannon Fodder” (only 6% of the group novel but it’s completed!!) Haha. I have another project called, “Supernatural Girlfriend” that I’m also currently working on.

There are no tenses in Chinese, so it is very confusing for me to translate. English has 12 verb tenses and sometimes I might conjugate them wrong. For example, in Chinese, it’s just “drink alcohol” or “drink tea”. There is no drinking, will drink, have drunk, drank, will be drinking, have been drinking, have been drunk, etc…. so English is very very confusing for people translating from Chinese lol

That’s me playing the piano! Hehe. I actually have a youtube channel but I am too noob so I don’t really post any youtube videos. Maybe this year..

Here is the chapter you guys are waiting for! Chapter 161

To my dear readers,

The full chapter 159 is already released. Haha. Some of you are so addicted that you’ve probably already read it. I will release 160 some time tomorrow night. Lately, I’ve been so drained and tired from translating. Thank you for all the nice comments though. I read them all, but I get lazy sometimes and I don’t want to respond (it takes a lot of time too).

By the way, the bots assumed my blog post was the chapter and stole that instead. So they steal everything automatically and nothing is manually done. Today, they can steal my post on HOW TO ESCAPE THE FRIENDZONE. I figured I might as well promote something that may help some of you. If you want to read, you can click here

Next, I’ve already begun posting the submissions on my personal instagram. My instagram account is grace7127. If you have instagram, just look me up and you’ll be able to see it. I am posting them on the order I’ve received them. So if you submitted closer towards the deadline, your artwork will not show up until a few days later. Please check it out! (I didn’t link you guys because the aggregators might just assume my instagram account is the chapter LOL. Maybe I’ll add the link later.

Le Yao Yao is going to be super jealous and realizes she likes the King of Hell. She is also going to get so drunk and something is going to happen *dun dun dun*. It takes a long time for me to translate so you’re going to have to be patient. In the meantime though, please consider reading Supernatural Girlfriend on volarenovels dot com. Have a great weekend!

P.S. Please turn off adblock for me. It makes a difference (even if it’s a few pennies lol).

Here is Chapter 160

To my dear readers,

Happy Lunar New Year! I would like to thank Kanhokthorn L for his/her pledge to me! Thank you for choosing to support me! In addition, I would like to thank Bonnthanak T for her donation to me. Bonnthanak is a SG reader (Supernatural Girlfriend). Haha. It’s funny because you guys like to specify which novel the donation is for. So cute.

Next, I ended up receiving 11 submissions in total. 10 of them came in before the deadline, while one of them was late. But I will post all of them on my instagram one at a time. I will be thanking you guys individually on my instagram so make sure you check it out!! (I’ll link it to you guys next time I post). Thank you so much for all the effort! I will be keeping my promise and offering 2 bonus chapters for March.

You guys managed to get the volare CNY question correct, so I have to release another chapter this week. It will not be updated until some time tomorrow though. Previously, the aggregator site thought my volare relationship post was the chapter, so they’ll steal anything I link here. Since they love to steal my stuff so much, they can steal my blog post. I wrote this a year ago. You can read it here <– This post included a podcast I was in. So if you’re curious, you should check it out. I even made it clear that I am the translator of this novel.

Some of you might not be aware, but I started off as a blogger. I never intended to be a translator. I only started translating because I wanted to lure more readers into reading my blog. Haha.

The full chapter of 158 is released. You can find the link at the end of the announcement chapter of 158.

Here is Chapter 159

To my dear readers,

The full chapter 157 has already been released on my site. You just need to scroll down until the end of the 157 announcement post and you’ll be able to see the link. Thank you so much for being so understanding. I know it is very annoying and troublesome for some of you, so I appreciate your patience for putting up with this type of release.

In addition, I have received a total of 9 submissions. You still have 5 hours or so left if you want to submit. I’m going to post everyone’s artwork on my instagram next week (based on the order I received them). I will link you guys next week! Thank you so much for participating and I love all of them. You guys are so creative and cute!!!!! (Check Chapter 150 announcement post if you want more details on how to participate. *It’s not really a contest*)

Anyhow, I will release 158 eventually and you guys can read it this week.

P.S. It takes me a very long time to translate because I have a slow brain. So if you want to support my brain cells, any amounts of donations are appreciated.

P.P.S. Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, I wrote a relationship post on volare. Do you think your crush likes you? Here are 5 signs to look out for. You can read it here!

Here is Chapter 158

To my dear readers,

No, I haven’t translated Chapter 157 yet. I’m just so tired….

The aggregator sites managed to steal 156 even though I tried to confuse them. (I think I managed to confuse readlightnovel.org though) So, this time, I’m posting this without linking anything. I have a feeling the bots need a certain number amount of words before they “steal”. Last time, my teaser was too short, so they knew it wasn’t the chapter and waited or something.

This time, I am not linking them to anything, so good luck with that.

I’m just going to make this announcement super long so they think this is the chapter itself.

Some of you might think, “Grace, why are you doing this? Aren’t you doing the same thing by stealing the author’s work and making money off her?” In my defense, it is not because I do not want to contact the author and want to hog all the money for myself. If I could actually find her real contacts, I would try to set up something so that we can both make money. For example, I would give 50% of all my earnings to the author if we were to sell ebooks. Because, without her work, there would be no translations. Likewise, without me, there would be no English version (unless someone else translated it).

The problem is, I don’t know which site is the real site. If my stuff is being stolen by 20+ sites, her Chinese version is being stolen by 100+ Chinese sites. So, I gave up the idea of trying to sell ebooks.

Since I am not selling anything (I’m translating this for free. No one is paying me to do it. This means, you get chapters regardless if I get any donations or not. No one is buying anything.), I feel like it is ok for me to translate this. It’s practically volunteer work. I’m retelling the story in another language so more of you can enjoy it.

But when I see the aggregator sites copying my exact translations and making money off doing NOTHING, it drives me nuts.

Seriously, novelonlinefree has already taken over 350k+ views from me (and that’s just one site alone). In fact, it’s ranked even higher on google search than my actual site.

I just can’t accept it.

I know I don’t have the rights to translate the story, but I can’t accept people copy and pasting my stuff either. (I do not copy and paste the author’s work. Translating is so freaking hard, I’m not even joking. Sometimes, I spend 10 minutes translating ONE sentence.)

So, I’m going to keep making things difficult for the aggregators. I know it is very troublesome for you guys, and I do feel bad for giving you false hope that a new chapter is released, but I just can’t let it go.

I have to make it so that other readers from aggregator sites have no choice but to read on my site. It’s either me or nothing.

If they can’t stand me, they can drop the novel.

I know a lot of them want to read on the aggregator sites because it’s easier to read since all the novels are on one site. But if they bookmark my site, it’s only a few extra clicks. It only takes a few more seconds of their time.

I don’t know if some of you are aware, but I pay to keep this site running. I was using the free wordpress before. My original site is liveandlearn88.com. But because I chose to translate this novel, all my ads were banned since the wordads crawlers thought my content was too inappropriate. That is why I had to buy another domain and self host here.

I thought by removing this novel from my previous site, I could get the ads back. But wordpress.com pretty much gave me $0.88 for 100k views and I just gave up. Now, my original site has no ads and I just post inspirational things or some personal experiences on it. Feel free to check it out. I wrote about “The Art of War” & I have posts like “How to tell when a shy girl likes you” lol

Anyhow, I promise I will continue to translate this until Leng Jun Yu discovers Le Yao Yao is pregnant (Chapter 155 of the raws. We’re only on chapter 118… it’s going to take a long LONG time because some chapters are over 10k words…). But I’m not sure if I will have the willpower to finish the novel. I will try, but I don’t know if I would be able to carry on until the very end because I feel like I’m going to tip over any minute.

I’m just taking one step at a time so I can get myself closer towards the finish line.

I know I have a lot of supporters and I don’t want to let you guys down. Thank you for all your comments. I read them all even though I may not respond to them all. Come back in a day or two for the next chapter.

Thank you for reading this long rant. Maybe the aggregators will assume this is the chapter itself.

By the way, I released a chapter yesterday, so I am only releasing 2 more this week. But if you want to win a chapter for Chinese New Year, do the quiz on volare. The question is so easy. I can’t believe only 42% of the participants got it right so far. lol

Which of the following occurred in the novel of “The Eunuch is Pregnant”?
A. Le Yao Yao had a nosebleed and splattered it all over the King of Hell’s “bird”
B. Le Yao Yao sucked on the King of Hell’s “bird”
C. B only
D. A and B

I guess a lot of participants didn’t read the novel.

P.S. Thank you for all the submissions for the art contest! I have 6 now. You have until February 14th to submit. If you’re interested, instructions are on Chapter 150 announcement post.

Chapter 157

To my dear readers,

I would first like to thank Judith for her donation and Deibby for pledging to me. Thank you for choosing to support me. I know these days I have been getting many more donations than usual because you guys feel so bad for me. I am very grateful to all of you and I do read all your comments!! I must say, you guys really know how to make me feel bad lol. I didn’t know I play such an important role and affected your lives that much. 😛

Anyhow, I have received 5 submissions for the art contest. You guys still have a few days left if you want to participate. Thank you so much for those who have submitted! I love them all and I will post it all on my instagram. (I will link you guys next week).

Here is the teaser for Chapter 156. I will replace with the full chapter eventually. So come back later if you don’t want to be teased.

P.S. I think the aggregator sites got confused because they stole my chapter 155 announcement post instead of the chapter. Currently, they haven’t stolen 156 yet. I think I messed their bots up or something. Anyhow, Chapter 156 is up.

Note: I read all the comments but I do not respond to them all because I get overwhelmed and confused. Sometimes, I click randomly on my phone and answer a bunch but I might have missed a few. So if you wanted a response and I didn’t reply, please do not be upset. I still love you!
