Want to thank @jenxi and @chungliwen for putting up with my nagging! Now I get to enjoy #wuxia novels by Gu Long and Jin Yong and the fansubber's hard work.
FYI I always find fansubbed English translations superior to "official ones" as lots of love is put into it.

@chungliwen @jenxi A lot of writers want the prestige of being published with puvlishing houses, But I am like Jenxi, have always preferred web publishing, so am publishing my essays and fiction on substack and my website. O wish more Malaysian writers will do this, but they are more into the glam of being pubbed by the houses.

@liztai @chungliwen Enjoy! Official translations are bound by in-house style guides and publisher’s rules, so less room to work with.
And they need to get everything done before things go to print. Whereas I can always go in and keep iterating and making small corrections, except for the ebooks.
I also advocate publishing on the web instead of ebooks because I get to drop hover tips everywhere for footnotes for more context and translator notes.
