I Couldn"t Be A Youtuber, So I Decided To Make A Podcast Instead.

Adrifting / 书海漂泊

A podcast mainly about webnovels. Hoping to focus on Chinese Webnovels, however I'll probably meander a little bit with Japanese Light novels, some anime cross over, Korean webtoons, manhwa, and more. Rants and reminiscing about various things are definitely covered as are reviewing and introducing niche genres, unique recommendations and personal insights into Chinese and Asian Culture. ^-^

Going off of EP#35, I go more into depth of the various tropes and cliches of the Space Battle genre.

2022/08/27

I may have read some webnovels across a variety of genres, but I don't nearly have enough time to encompass every single one of them. I discuss some of the genres I feel unwholly prepared to talk about and I may never be prepared to talk about.Maybe there will be someone who can or maybe there is someone who already has and I just don't know.

2022/08/13

Talking about a military fiction, I haven't read or talked about this in 6-7 years so my memory is definitely a bit hazy. I may start to wrap up this podcast as I feel any future material I have will suffer quality-wise and my podcast is not high quality in the first place.No raw link... because I have no idea what happened after the Gravity Tales and Webnovel acquisition.

Going over a wuxia novel by an extremely talented author. I create a new rating called the wuxia degenercy scale, detailing the various tropes and styles of wuxia novels.

The main character (MC) is hardworking (in a good way), adept / intelligent, and never overpowered (but has a good sense of balance with the story's power creep).

武 - Martial 侠 - HeroesI provide a sort of commentary and introduction to Chinese wuxia webnovel styles, martial arts, culture and popular titles. Definitely more of a rant and I've probably repeated some of this before in my earlier recordings. I'm more sad of the fact I've previously recorded this and that I was unable to restore that information as the file was corrupted and then promptly deleted soon after to make space on my device. Anyway, hope this is somewhat informative for those interested
