In the thirty fourth episode of The Translated Chinese Fiction Podcast, we are looking at 7 Killers ([ Ссылка ]) (七殺手 / Qī Shāshǒu), by Wuxia renegade Gu Long ([ Ссылка ]) . Our guest is one of the top translators of Wuxia webnovels, Deathblade ([ Ссылка ]) .
7 Killers is classic Gu Long, and an early entry in Deathblade's career as a translator. We use it as a jump-off point to talk about Chinese web fiction, similarities between Wuxia and other genres, and the hyperpowered characters of xianxia web fiction.
