The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love Chapter 2.2 is now live!
I hope everyone enjoys that image I put at the end of the chapter. Here’s another image that’s useful. It shows what Xiu’s different forms look like. When the story started he was in his human form. Yeah, he’s a blonde.
The race names on that image are different since I have chosen to call the races:
Angel, Demon, Human, Orc, Elf, Lich, Gnome, and Dragon.
I’m actually not sure about the “Orc” part. Do you think it should be “Beastkin” or something else? Let me know in the comments. I think Orc kinda sounds ugly but Xiu’s forms are all very good-looking. By the way, the image doesn’t show it but his Orc form has a tail.
In other news, almost no footnotes this time! That’s a first for this project.
Beastkin does seem most accurate. The English-speaking audience tends to think of WoW or Lord of the Rings when people start talking about orcs, and Xiu’s pretty obviously something else. Ah, so fluffy~
Beastkin!!! Definitely that. Cuz orcs usually represent orgres or ugly like things in novels/mangas. And in that image he looks like a cat boy lol beastkin also sounds good too 😀
I’m sure it’s beastkin rather than an Orc. Perhaps the translations of 兽人 might turn to orc but if you split it up as 兽 and 人 you’ll get beast, human.
