Little Mushroom was recced to me over and over again and this week, I finally read it. I enjoyed it a lot! The world is completely bonkers and the science is Wild but I really loved An Zhe's detached and curious POV. He is a lil mushroom, after all. 🥹 The "lack of romance" I've seen some readers complain didn't bother me: it is there but it's very subtle, and to be fair, this book isn't about the romance, it's about something else entirely. I'm definitely going to read this again at some point because as I said, the world is completely bonkers. 😁

Some thoughts here:

Thought people might be interested in this article "Translated Chinese Literature: New Fiction" from China Books Review.

2025 has seen a bumper crop for Chinese literature in translation. We recommend five recent titles, from gritty tales of the northeast to conjoined fiction from Hong Kong.


Of course, no danmei or baihe on the list, that's not nearly ~literary~ enough for this kinda thing, but I still thought it was nice to learn about some other titles outside my usual c-novel reading...
