    To bore you, a couple of paras from the one I am currently reading
    _Cultivation Chat Room_:

    "Scholar Yue Ruhuo, who had been defeated in the prologue battle of the Heavenly Dao Battle, sat cross-legged in his spot, silently recovering
    from his injuries. He didn't rush to leave; instead, he chose to stay
    and bear witness to the saga of 'Profound Sage Tyrannical Song' facing challengers from myriad worlds on Mars!

    During this process of witnessing, he waited for other losers to join him.

    The taste of failure wasn't meant to be savored alone; it needed to
    be shared. With more people sharing their failures, the bitterness of
    defeat would be diluted.

    Sharing sorrow with the sorrowful is a virtue - so cry, everyone, just
    let it out!"

    and

    "The Tribulation Transcender's Golden Body stood up and stepped into the spatial gate, disappearing. Even though he was in a vegetative state,
    his suave demeanor had already been ingrained into the bones of the
    scholarly faction's Tribulation Transcender. Every action he took was
    imbued with suaveness."

    Well I think they are moderately amusing. Is it the translator? It
    somehow reminds me of Panshin's _Thurb Revolution_.

    Cheers, David Duffy.

    I take it that the People’s Armed Police paid you a visit and forced you to read those things...

    I do hope that they got better later. I really do.

    The Valentine's chapter:

    ???No, it???s just a weird idea that popped into my head,??? Song Shuhang replied.
    ???Sixteen,??? he reached out and took her hand. ???Next time, I???ll give you my spleen. How does that sound????
    The White Dragon raised an eyebrow.
    Pavilion Master Chu was left utterly baffled. ?????????
    Su Clan???s Sixteen whispered, ??? Is this what they call love????
