The group of translators has created a folder which currently contains chapters 1-10 and 82-89, and will be updated regularly:

This is lovely, thanks for sharing! <3

Thank you! I am so happy I can finally share the beta-ed version. I've been working on that for a year. It's amazing!

Hi, I have a question if that's okay about the beta'd version (and thank you so much for that!) which is that I was wondering why Guo Changcheng is the only character whose name is just written as Guo rather than restored like the others?

[fangirlishness]

Yeah, good question. I think it originally was because Changcheng is such a mouthful. It's been a while since I looked at it. *g* But I stumbled over that, too, when I uploaded it this week. I should probably just change him like the others, so it's consistent.

[frith_in_thorns]

It's true, it's long! Maybe you could use Changcheng rather than Guo Changcheng in most cases, especially when it's his POV so it would make sense to be more informal?

[fangirlishness]

TBH, Changcheng is the part that looks and sounds so hard, to my non-Chinese ears, so the only thing that might help is calling him Little Guo throughout... and that is not much better.

So in the end, I just did the easy thing and replaced everything with his whole name again.
