About

--::IN SHORT::--
I frequently read Chinese BL Novels so I'll post English summaries of the ones I like here. I'll also slowly move/import my older summaries from my livejournal to here. I'll also ramble other things that may be a little off from the subject. Also, if you translate/blog about Chinese BL Novels, please leave a link so I can link to your place.

 --::THE LONG INTRODUCTION::--
You might be wondering why I would write Chinese BL Novels summaries in English instead of summaries in Chinese since if one don't know how to read Chinese there is no point in reading the English summaries of Chinese novels. It's a contradiction.

 I'm a native Chinese speaker in my household and my Chinese is normally at the lower middle marks which translates to not so good, even my English marks was better than Chinese. My household is an early adopter of computers, I think my house has one since around 1992 and computers was probably more than 3 times expensive than now, not to say that currency is becoming more and more small also.

 When I started to use computers, everything I use on the computer is in English, this includes, chatting, email, surfing the web, also all the books I read is in English. So it was foreign to me to browse Chinese sites. This continues until the end of my high school where I started using E mule to find BL stuff to read. That time I use the Chinese E mule. This is when I first encounter original Chinese BL novels. If I remember correctly, E mule has a function where you can get items from other people connected, I just use a wildcard to search for BL stuff there so I get random stuff. I still remember the first Chinese original BL novel I read. It's called "When the Cool meets the Cold". After that there is no return, I've been reading Chinese BL novels for more than 10 years. Later I found really epic BL stories that can rival any tv drama even if you minus the BL content. I write, chat and surf the internet in English for around a decade before I include Chinese in my online life, that's why I'm more comfortable blogging in English, hence blogging BL Chinese novel summaries in English.

Not sure if anyone is actually interested but I hope BL fans can be interested in Chinese BL novels too and my summaries are useful in moving to the direction.
