I Couldn't Be A Youtuber, So I Decided To Make A Podcast Instead.

Talking about a military fiction, I haven't read or talked about this in 6-7 years so my memory is definitely a bit hazy. I may start to wrap up this podcast as I feel any future material I have will suffer quality-wise and my podcast is not high quality in the first place. No raw link... because I have no idea what happened after the Gravity Tales and Webnovel acquisition.

Going over a wuxia novel by an extremely talented author. I create a new rating called the wuxia degenercy scale, detailing the various tropes and styles of wuxia novels. This particular webnovel was a fun read to binge as it was very casual and refined. I discuss having read the first ~500-800 chapters during a 10 hour reading session.

Overall though I did my best to try and rerecord it as best I can We Live in Nanjing - (我们生活在南京) https://book.qidian.com/info/1025...

Weird Theater in London is one of my top 5 infinite flow novels and top 10-15 fanfiction novels. I don't recall exactly why this recording sucked so much that I couldn't keep going.

I deliberately left the 5th volume out for those who are interested in reading the finale. For those who are interested there's still plenty of details I glossed over and omitted.
