Beyond the Timescape [Wuxiaworld]Outside of Time

Xu Qing lives in a world where the weak are the prey of the strong, and every day is a fight to survive.

The aura of a god has polluted the entire world, including the resources necessary to practice cultivation. As a result, cultivators risk mutation and death when they try to become more powerful.

Xu Qing’s goals are simple: he wants to survive, and he wants to find his lost family. He lives in brutal, ruthless, and chaotic circumstances, but he encounters good people that become his close friends.

He is not crafty and cowardly like Bai Xiaochun. He is not clever and greedy like Meng Hao.

He is his own person, and if you want to find out what he’s like… you’ll have to start reading!

***

Official blurb translated from Chinese:

All living beings in heaven and earth are guests in a tavern. The timescape is also an old customer.

The difference between life and death is like the difference between dreaming and waking. Even years of study might not reveal the truth of such complex transformations.

What awaits on the other side of life and death? What surpasses heaven and earth? What lies beyond the timescape?

***

Er Gen, the author of Renegade Immortal, Pursuit of Truth, I Shall Seal the Heavens, A Will Eternal, and A World Worth Protecting, brings you his sixth novel Beyond the Timescape. Collapse

    Very much enjoyed this - had a bit of a shaky start me having to get used to the style, most xianxia novels aren't as detailed, but after that it was pretty fun; the writing is, as always, pretty good.

    Cultivation is fairly standard, with a bit of a sort-of alchemist MC, though not in the wacky sorta way of Bai Xiaochun. The MC really carries; he has a heart, cares about people, and is largely very human in a lot of ways that I wasn't expecting this to be from the synopsis, so it's a really compelling read because the guy does have empathy for people and forms meaningful connections. Not much to speak of relating his power-set so far, but he's still in the early stages and Er Gen tends to excel by the merits of the characters and the settings instead of diverse abilities.

    The setting itself is pretty dark; almost a post-apocalyptic world in some ways, so I'm curious how that's expanded on and the world is built. Overall has a lot more depth to it than most xianxias do.

    Would definitely recommend, the first 'Act' of this is complete, around about ~40 chapters, so I'd say at least that much is worth reading before forming an opinion.

    Personally, tossing this in the Awaiting folder and stacking updates so I don't lose my mind- pressure

      Ye this is Er Gen. You either wait till he finishes the novel or stack 1000's of chapters.

    The same novel is here on this site as outside of time, and it has around 600 chapters and the translation quality is much better.

    It’s good. But you’re better off stacking chapters, and waiting a bit longer.

      You should add DeepL's extension on Chrome my friend, a great translator and very easy to use. You just need to select the text and you click on the button's extension and bam, it's translated. I like to use it on MTL's raw text now. Sometimes I really love AI's kef

          Tbh it depends on the novels if you want the raw texts. If you want some good MTL websites which don't make you lose too many braincells, there are:

          I particularly like these 2, and discovered the 2nd when I was looking for Nine Star Hegemon Body Art's MTL. These 2 MTL websites are surprisingly good!

          As for other websites that are worse but still decent, there is:

          I haven't tested some of them but some websites have added them on their top MTL websites so I guess that they can be good ? You will need to test it out hehe. I hope this helped you out fellow Daoist kef

            Maybe DeepL's extension is good, I'm willing to give it a try. I genuinely appreciate your good nature. +1

            BUT, you're tripping mad high if you find the MTL from these websites to be on the more acceptable side of MTL!

              Tbh, when I read Nine Star Hegemon Body art on wmtl it was surprisingly decent compared to other websites like comradeo or others so idk, maybe other mtl's in the website aren't on the same level but if you have any better websites, it'd be nice to share them with me kef

            Novelhi is the best mtl side there. They don't have many novels but those which are there have decent translations.
            I read 'I'm the fated villain' and 'mage Adam' there. As for readnovelfull I think it's not a mtl site but an aggregator site similar to ranobes.

        Wait AI's? do you use chatgpt to correct further grammar errors or something? I am curious as I wanna give this idea a try.

          No I don't do that, I said I loved AI's because I believe that DeepL's extension uses an AI though I am not sure. The idea could be interesting though but, you would need to have a specialized AI. One specialized in languages and from what I have learned, training an AI can cost a lot of money so do be careful before adventuring fellow daoist :).

    It's written by Ergen and translated by Deathblade. In the universe of web novel translation there is no better pairing. It's by far the better read.

    Mhm, anyone know if this is worth it? The story seems like it'd be pretty fun, but I tend to prefer lighter stories over darker ones and this one seems like it's gonna go down the edgy route.

      Not exactly edgy. Its not even to the level of dark yet. I mean its a cultivation world and theres a certain level of apocalypse to it but just try it out. Mc is cunning and not afraid to solve problems before they become problems

        Cool, thanks! I'll try it out, I've been missing a classic xianxia in my life and Er Gen is usually pretty good. Never thought I'd be on the other end of suffering waiting for translations for one of his works though, they're always 1000+ chapters and we're not even at a 100. crybaby

          I'm in the 600s but I think I'm gonna follow the WW version. I already read the published 50 chapters and can definitely confirm that the translation is so much better. Also much more enjoyable to read.

    So I already caught up with the Previous Translation of chapter 663. I have already once switched from MTL 500+ chapters to the Webnovel translated version latest chapters.

    Now the question comes, is it worth it to read this novel a Third time from the Start because of a new Translation?
