C-Novel Translations

To improve and learn more Mandarin, I've decided to try my hand in novel translations. Mandarin isn't my first or second language, so bear with me as it takes me a lot longer to actually understand the texts, and I rely heavily on the dictionary, so the translations may not be as accurate. I'll try to avoid translating sentences word-by-word, as I know how choppy it can end up, but I really hate to botch up or miss the meaning underlying the words. It's a tough compromise, and I may change things as I read through it again. If there's a better translation, please let me know :) This is a learning experience for me, I'd love to hear anything that will help in my improvement :)

New edit:

Also, I forgot to mention that I will not be able to take requests at this stage, as it's been a while since I have practiced Mandarin (almost 10 years!), so at this stage I will have to be very picky about which novels I can translate.
