If you’re here for Trails/Kiseki related posts, most of it should be under #kiseki posting and either its respective game title or character name. I am trying my best to keep this place spoiler free but I cannot swear by it entirely.

If you are here for MXTX literature, it’s under #mdzs jp bookclub. 日本語OKです。日本語能力試験第二級合格なのですが受験勉強についてお問い合わせになってはご遠慮ください。受験が苦手ですもの。 Comparative table of contents (Now moved to a new website) Major threads master post Proposed edits to the 7S translation (WIP)

If you want to watch an amateur Japanologist work with classical japanese and literary chinese, #self imposed classical chinese crash course is where the struggle bus departs from. I will also be putting up #hashtag wokashi for classical japanese more specifically and #self imposed modern chinese crash course as a separate struggle bus lines. One day I’m hoping that my Mandarin will be good enough to do secondary source research, but until then, it’s level grinding on children’s books.

Fan fiction

Fan fiction about Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a form of online cultural adaptation of the novel. As with many fan fiction works, the main producers and consumers are young women, and in this case, young Chinese women.[54] Scholars argue that the emergence of this type of adaptation was motivated by the marginalization and heavily stereotyped female characters as well as unexplored plotlines in the original text.[54] The Battle of the Red Cliff and Liu Bei's answer after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei complained about his growing intimacy with Zhuge Liang are two scenes containing such plotlines.[54]

Common couples derived from Romance of the Three Kingdoms include Liu Bei/Zhuge Liang, often referred to as Xuan/Liang, and Cao Cao/Guan Yu, or Cao/Guan.[54] Both follow the dominant/submissive structure typical of "slash fiction"/"boys' love" (BL), are closely tied to the original story and often require the reader to be familiar with the work the fan fiction is derived from.[55][56][57]
