The translation of Mandarin Duck Blades is a work-in-progress on WuxiaSociety.
An old fan translation from 2010 by several translators is available on SPCNET. It is a commendable fan effort to bring the novel to English-speaking readers. However, since it is done by non-native speakers using online translation tools, there are certain nuances lost in translation.
Our in-house translation is being done by Jenxi, with the work starting in February 2024 and the first chapter posted on 1 March 2024.
