Also people keep asking me if I find AI translation helpful in my work and AI TRANSLATION IS NOWHERE NEAR COMMERCIAL QUALITY and NO I DON'T EDIT AI TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER FOR ME TO JUST DO THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION THAN EDIT CRAP because PAINTING CRAP WITH GOLD DOESN'T TURN CRAP INTO GOLD
Someone recently wrote a book using ChatGPT and emailed it to me, asking if it's any good, as if I would ever waste a second of my time reading it? Why are people so shameless? Why do people want to be seen as "writers" so much? Why can't they use AI to get a lucrative job in coding instead?
Just received a blanket pitch from a children's book author (sent, presumably, to many indie bookstores) pitching a clearly AI-illustrated book. In the interest of public service, this was my response. I'm fucking done with being nice to these people.

I noticed some comments that people expected "Joyful Reunion" to be lighthearted based on the title!
Let's talk poetry, something Fei Tian Ye Xiang loves.
"Joyful Reunion" is a famous tune dating to the Southern Tang. Li Yu wrote two "Joyful Reunion" poems, one of which is quoted in the novel.

Seconding how much of a *cough* joy it has been to work on this book with you guys. I have been getting a crash course in classical-style Chinese poetry courtesy of Fei Tian Ye Xiang, and I am *living* for it. The translation team and editorial team knocked this one out of the park.
So today is release day for the first volume of ‘Joyful Reunion’ by Arise Zhang/Fei Tian Ye Xiang!! As a lifelong BL fan who’s also a gay guy, it was an honor beyond measure to work on this particular series (even in a minor role) with the amazing translators Suika, Mimi, and yunyun.
