Hi all!
As you can probably guess, today is a double update. One part is a relatively short chapter and the other is a side story. It's a bit of lore that tells you about a part of Babel we have yet to see. I like it, and think that it's a solid piece, but IMO I like the release chapter more. I hope you do!
What have I been up to this week? Well apart from working and job hunting I watched the first episode of The Expanse, which is a new show from SyFy. It has a budget and is actually pretty fucking good. I will be enjoying it. As for everything else, I caught up with Gravity Falls (It's pretty much my favourite cartoon ever). There's only one more episode until the end D: This makes me a sad writer. Either way though, the last two episodes were EXCELLENT, and Bill Cypher is my favourite villain in just about any series. I cannot wait for the 1 hour special episode to finish it, it's going to be EPIC.
In other news, Coiling Dragon finished this week. Most of you know about it, but if you don't it is the series that got most people in the community into Xianxia and the like (Mine was Duolou Dalu), and we are so thankful for Ren and all his hard work. He pretty much blew the translation scene out of the water with the one chapter a day publishing schedule and I wish him the best of luck in translating Desolate Era and anything else he wants at a much slower pace.
Chapter 16 - A Storm Approaches
Side Story 2 - The Legend of Bloody Gus
Have fun!

Walls, Pills and Writing.
Hi all!
New chapter is out! It's a short one, but over the next three chapters at least you are going to have two longer than normal ones, and one short one. I like this series of chapters because it explores a bit more into the lore of the clan of creation, and it tells you a little more about the Book. Fun fact, the next part was originally meant to be one chapter, but it's become four. There was a lot more for me to go into than I thought there was so it bulked more than I expected.
What have I been up to this week? Mainly the job thing on Monday (which I should find out about some time today), looking at houses and reading ISSTH. I Shall Seal The Heavens is incredible at the moment, and the most recent chapter (Chapter 291) blew me away. Er Gen is an incredible writer, with a flair for the best dramatic reveals that keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Many thanks to based Deathblade for allowing me to experience it!
Oh yeah! Quick mention to the fact that if you want to ask me about anything to do with Babel, then just contact me via Twitter @BabelThePath
Chapter 14 - Damascus
Have fun!

Golden Children and Translators Ending
Hi all!
New chapter for you all, with a new character and a bit of information about how one of the clans works in Babel. It's a shorter chapter, so to make up for it, I will be releasing a side story this Wednesday! It's going to be a surprise, but it's very different from the rest of the story so far. In fact I wrote it as if I was another person! (I was channelling Robbie Bruce and Lewis Carrol when I did.)
On a sadder note, Void Translations is ending its project of translating one of my favourite Xianxia novels, Xian Ni. I love the series and it makes me sad to see Void end the project, because if nothing else, the translation quality has been brilliant. I hope we get to see another group (HINT RWX/FBT PLEASE) to pick it up, as Er Gen is a master of the genre, and Xian Ni is just the right level of dark. Either way, I wish void the best, and hope that things go well for him.

Me, Myself and Tony
Hello once again!
The third chapter is out, and it's a preamble for the first 'test'. Not much really happens in this chapter, but it does introduce a few important things. Perhaps you can pick them out, and perhaps they are not what you think!
I've been reading I Shall Seal The Heavens recently, and am currently loving the third arc. If you are enjoying what I am writing then please, check out WuxiaWorld and have a look at it if you already haven't read it.
The next chapter is almost twice the length of this one, so the story should ramp up a bit, but the next part is also a bit of an info dump. A lot of things will be explained about the world in the next five or six chapters.
Enjoy!

The Start of a Challenge
So hi.
My name is Seth, and I am starting a new blog in an attempt to get something I write seen by the outside world. Perhaps I can make a proper job of this and even make some money out of the things I love! Such is the dream.
I have been reading a lot of web novels recently, and thought I would give the format a try, so on Friday I will be posting the first part to a series I am actually having a lot of fun making. It's as you might have guessed called Babel - the Path To Ascension and is a western take on the enjoyable but not necessarily deep genre of Chinese literature known as Xianxia.
Anyone who knows what Xianxia is will have some idea of what to expect, but if not, there are several websites dedicated to translating the novels that you can check out.
I hope people enjoy my writing and what have you.
