Hey everyone, I'm putting up an interest check for a Miss Forensics read along. This work by Jiu Nuan Chun Shen is a thriller and sits at 878k words in Chinese on JJWXC. With some people's copies of the physicals coming in, I thought this would be a good time to start a read along for one of many baihe novel staples of the new generation.

I will be asking for FIVE (5) people minimum to start this, as I would not want to start a thread and have it dwindle down to me speaking to a brick wall.

How it works: I'll put up a master post every 2 weeks, with the assumption of this being paced at 5 chapters a week (based on the web version) and one chapter summary posted per weekday. You would read 20k words per week at least and 50k words per week at most. If you are reading from the Traditional print, please keep in mind that the chapters are condensed, with the chapter headings from JJWXC being used as section breaks. Of course, this can be adjusted if people would like to commit and want to suggest a lower cap on the weekly word count.

Where to read: You can read Miss Forensics through JJWXC or acquired copies of the Traditional Chinese print. Please keep in mind that the Simplified Chinese print is censored. There are 5 chapters translated on Fluffy Translations, but any subsequent translated chapters found online are MTL. I do not like MTL and will not promote it, and will not be responsible for any plot interpretation discrepancies as a result of reading via MTL.

If enough people are interested, we will start on June 2nd. Any "late" postings will be attributed to time differences. If there are no changes made to the reading pace, the read along would run until December 2025.
