The Witch Bone

LITERALLY the best novel on webnovel and Chinese history! With the best author and translators (there was 2 I think), seriously, thank you!I loved waking up every day just to check for new updates, really recommend, amazing (never overused) plot and the characters has so much depth and personality...See? Clearly gushing over this wonderful work of art, high recommendation?

The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is a Wuxia novel by Jin Yong (Louis Cha). It was first serialized in Hong Kong in the newspaper Ming Pao from 20 April 1967 to 12 October 1969.Alternative Names:• Laughing in the Wind• State of Divinity• The Peerless Gallant Errant• The Proud and Gallant Wanderer• Xiao Ao Jiang Hu• 笑傲江湖Translators:• Lanny Lin (Chapter 1 - 21)• HHaung (Chapter 21)• Pokit (Chapter 21 onwards)• Bliss (Chapter 30 and 31)Editor:• HHaung (Chapter 21 onwards)The reason I'm putting up this novel is so I can read it for personal use. I watched the State of Divinity (1996 TV series) and loved that show. I knew there was a Novel of it but never spent the time to look for it until now. Was reading it online but the chapters very LONG and I keep loosing track of where I left off so I came here. Reading it off Webnovel is so much easier especially since it keeps track of where you left off. Unfortunately Webnovel has a 20k word / 100k character limit for each chapter so I had no choice but to chop up the chapters into parts.For those who also want to read this feel free. I am not taking someone else's work and passing them off as my own, full credit is given to the original writer, translators and editor as listed in the descriptions, plus the content of this novel is free online in multiple sources for everyone to read. So putting this up on Webnovel is just for my own convenience sake and anyone else who wishes to read this.

1 Translation done by "Novelsaga" are horrendous. After all, they ninja-ed the translation. Like literally garbage translation. The previous translator was far better. No amount of godly editors can save up Novelsaga's trash translations. 2a. Story development : Its a typical "band of brothers" kind of xianxia. Mixed in with some Stephen Chow-ish humours of the 90s, and this is what you get. 2b. The story can get ridiculous at times, but its still very, very enjoyable. In "Xianxia common sense

I don't know if this novel is contracted with the original work from the comic version or just some guys found the original novel version and translated it, but you guys can check the novel version, it's great.

Loved the story's background and setting as well as the characters I read. The author has a vivid imagination and has created a world for us to enjoy! Great Job!

its alright, i guess. i read up to chapter 10 before i stopped. interactions between father and son are very unnatural and feels super robotic, and it feels like the bisexual stuff is done more for the sake of it than for actual character development. MC is inconsistent in some places, acting and behaving out of character for a "lone wolf" type. also, it felt like a poor writing choice to have the very first job be irregular. inconsistencies with registering to become a porter like how the guy who signed him asked for no ID at all. i guess if you want a novel with a gay mc, this is a choice. otherwise? just read SS rank suicide hunter or stay at home dad in another world, both of which fill their niche better than this one thats straddling both.
