Translator: Yours truly, Craxuan



A Sci-fi genre web novel with exquisite content spanning over serious themes such as mercenaries (or Hunters in this context), military, politics, diplomacy and so on.

Synopsis:

Spoiler for From Translation Site:

The universe. This infinite field of stars is the dream of every Hunter.

For the Hunters who run amidst the stars, the only limit they truly have is the universe.

Is there a limit to the universe? And where would this limit lay?

When the Shadow Hunter; a young man named Cilin obtains a strange chip by accident, he begins his journey into this endless field of stars.

Spoiler for FAQ:

1. Is the MC OP?
Yes. Originally he had trained himself strong enough to rival a D Rank with his F Rank genotype, and after acquiring the chip he leaped straight to a B rank who can fight average A ranks easily.

But his true OP is his intelligence, and his mindset as a Hunter.

2. Is there Harem?
No. There are hints of potential romance, but the MC never wavers from his true love.

3. Is there Snusnu?
No. This is not that type of story.

^Warhammer?

Wut? All of those statements are contradictory with each other...

journey into this endless field of stars means leaving your loved one
MC never wavers from his true love, yet This is not that type of story, what does he expect to happen? Is his true love his spaceship?

[Craxuan]

No, it's just that:

Spoiler for Spoilers:

His true love had passed away at the very beginning.

[wuhugm]

^Oh... My condolences...

What motivates his journey then?

For dog's sake, Chinese WN authors, if you can't get a good cover pic, dun just slam something rite outta Warhammer 40k... Tat's exactly why da rest of the world wont take a 2nd glance at Chinese original works without humming: "dat sounds plagiarized".

[Ophis]

Starts reading the thread...

Craxuan: No harem, the MC never wavers from his true love.
Hentaiga: What about his true love then?
Craxuan: Oh, her? She's dead, right from the beginning.
Ophis: ...

I don't know what World you're coming from, but I've never seen people doing that.

[pervypig]

^ Same World where people curses Apple for defective iPhone7 while knowing all of them come from China.

I'm not cursing the quality of Chinese WN which are often good (sometimes better) than their Korean/Jap counterparts. But the lack of illustration doesn't mean you should just dump a well-known pic from somewhere else to stand in. Dat's unlimited facepalm works for me.

my impression "... ... meh..."

[Craxuan]

Er, actually that cover was done by my translation website's chief editor. This is the actual illustration the author used in Qidian:



@wuhugm
Well the translated chapters explain it, but basically it is every Hunter's dream to eventually explore the galaxy, and when his genotype reached rank B he was qualified to open his late master's inheritance. His master's message first warns him to never open this inheritance again if he doesn't plan to travel, and after a while requests Cilin to bring his body back to his home one day. As for where is this home situated, his master didn't know himself because he was stranded in this galaxy after being sucked into a blackhole when he was younger, which is why he asks for Cilin's help.

[wuhugm]

^That image is Vincent from FF 7 lol~

He still has the drive for exploration but refuses romance huh...

Like Legend?

[Craxuan]

No, Legend's MC is totally lovey dovey with the main girl. This one... well, things are happening rapidly around him and he cannot forget his first love. So it's more like he doesn't think about it - but unlike the bs 'romance is totally missing from this person' you will notice from time to time that the MC reminiscing in his own way.

[Yoburi]

There is nothing worst than a romance that ended in the first chapter of a novel and we have to keep reading the MC whine about a love story we never read. I call this shit writing better to make the MC super shy with fear of woman than this BS.

OK i have a question how does the power system in this novel work it's Xianxia cultivation sytle or game elements style or something new? Also does the MC progress fast or it drags ass?

[Craxuan]

There is nothing worse than a reader who judges with unacceptable comments no matter where you put it without ever reading said novel.

Also, this is sci-fi. Mature sci-fi. This should be self-explanatory.
