If the fact that I created a tumblr blog about a niche genre of translated Chinese literature didn't tip you off, I -- the host of this blog -- am incredibly autistic.
For a variety of reasons that I won't get into (because said 'reasons' consist of pretty much my entire experience living on this earth), I'm fascinated with "communication". It's the closest thing I'd consider to having a special interest, in fact.
Whether it's a story, a piece of educational content, the game/level design of video games, or the development of internet humor, I'm fascinated with how it works. All of that -- every bit of it -- is communication to me, and all of that is thrilling to learn and theorize about.
Chinese Webnovels are particularly interesting from my perspective, because the average webnovel is, to put it lightly, about as subtle as a fucking brick to the face.
While a complete and utter lack of subtlety would usually be considered pretty bad writing (and don't get me wrong, some of it is), it makes Chinese webnovels excellent for analyzing in all types of ways.
(This lack of subtlety can be attributed to a number of factors, but to be honest I don't have the time nor qualifications nor confidence in my knowledge to talk about that authoritatively, so I simply won't.)
That specific quality (which is by no means unique, by the way, and I'm equally interested in other written mediums with similar phenomenon) is what led to the creation of this blog, where I get to talk about how cool I find all of this.
My first batch of review """content""" (as much as I hate that word) should be out Soon, so expect more ramblings from yours truly.
