WangXian nation, how are you doing?
Pre-orders for the official translation of (墨香铜臭, Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù) Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s second novel Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (魔道祖师, Mó Dào Zǔ Shī, MDZS) will be officially translated and released by Seven Seas. See their official statement here.
If you have seen “The Untamed” on Netlix, that was the live action of the novel. The donghua adaptation started airing in July 2018. Sometime in 2021, the final season of MDZS would air. Both adaptations were the censored version of the novel but fear not! On December 7, an official English translation of the novel will be released.
Books released will be UNCENSORED and will include the extra chapters. For those who have reservations if this novel is gay, well… order all the books and find out! Maybe, they’re really just two bros chilling in the tub, you know? The books will be available both in paperback and ebook format.
As a fan, I’m so happy to officially support the artist and the author. Multiple fans on twitter even organized to give free pre-ordered copies to spread the love.
