Meh, they can't really get any wins, it's like a man trying to fight a tsunami, they're only gonna hurt themselves.

I actually may have been too harsh on the translation, i reread the first few chapters after writing my comment and it's a lot better than I remembered. It still doesn't have the best prose in the world, on account of the fact that the author writes in a very poetic and hard to translate in english way, but if you ever feel like it you could try reading the prologue to get a sense of whether you'll like it or not. Unfortunately I doubt we'll see a translation more official than this one, the distribution rights are owned by Webnovel.

I don't know if you've ever considered reading some chinese fantasy, but if you're interested you should try reading a webnovel called Way of Choices. The translation is not great, but it's at least comprehensible, and it's a story i often go back too because it really surprised me with its character work for the mc and the whole supporting cast, and because it tackles some themes which are rarely seen in these types of stories. I think you can find the first 100 chapters on webnovel, and if you want to keep going without having to pay the site's absurd prices you should find it with relative ease on more sketchy sites.
