The Omniscient - Chapter 14: Hidden Meridians

This was a tough chapter for me to translate. Also, there's a lot of pseudoscience in this book. I don't think it's necessary, but I'd just like to put out a disclaimer that this is a work of fiction, don't take any of the science/pseudoscience in this book too seriously. Yes, I know I had that Chapter 10 rant...

The Omniscient - Chapter 12: Internet Data

Just wanted to address a review I saw. While there are elements of Chinese nationalism (duh), it's pretty good compared to other urban Chinese novels. Doesn't mean it's good, but for me it's tolerable. It just stands out because, a) it's China, and b) we're unused to it. Many works of fiction tend to highlight or emphasize their country of origin. This novel is no different. Like if the novel said USA is the center of the universe, you probably wouldn't bat an eye. But China... Of course, I can understand if anyone feel's uncomfortable about it.
