Book Depository can go screw itself
I have just cancelled all my SevenSeas pre-orders through Book Depository.
I have used BD for years, and they've provided good service on the whole. But I got fed up after three pre-orders were cancelled by them.
In each case, I ordered months and months in advance, eagerly anticipating the release of each book. The book's publishing date came - and sure enough, it was listed for sale on the website, but my pre-order was listed as "awaiting publication".
When I asked why the title was listed for sale where my pre-order hadn't been honoured, I was given a bullshitty politician's non-answer.
It smacks to me of dishonesty. I mean, if I pre-order something, I am paying in good faith for something to eventually come to me. By placing a pre-order I am a) handing over money to BD's account where it accrues interest and b) gives them an idea of how many volumes they need to get order the publisher for distribution. For the privilege of this, they charge a greatly reduced sum; the cost of the book when it is listed for sale on the publishing date is often a lot more expensive.
So actually, this whole business of not honouring pre-orders also seems to be a price and money-gouging exercise. I suspect they deliberately don't fill pre-orders in order to force those who have pre-ordered to order the full-priced item.
I'm so disgusted.
Seeking other distributors who will send to my location. (Which also sucks, because it's not mainland USA and is often $$$ to send to.)
WARNING: Don't pre-order your SevenSeas danmei novels through Book Depository. Just don't. Find another distributor.
Feel free to share/reblog this raise awareness.

The first year was called Ji Ba Yuan Nian, the First Year of Cease Battle—but why did it have to sound like the Year of Cock and Balls?
The second year was called the Second Year of Cock.
Then the Third Year of Cock.
There were those who, behind locked doors, cursed and said, “This is ridiculous. You might as well just go ahead and call it the ‘Age of the Cock’! That way, when you want to ask a man’s age, all you’ll have to do is ask the vintage of his cock! A hundred-year-old man could just be called Centennial Cock!”
I didn't remember the first chapter being so fucking funny

2HA ⛥ 08. THIS VENERABLE ONE GETS PUNISHED.
For all that Chu Wanning was a genius when it came to cultivation techniques, he truly was an idiot when it came to everyday life.
"I'm chewing on ribs. How do I chew without smacking my lips?" "Then don't eat ribs." "But I like ribs." "Then get lost and go eat elsewhere."
If Shi Mei was the pure white moonlight of his heart, then Chu Wanning was the piece of fish bone stuck in his throat.
In this reborn life, he could forgive anyone. But he would absolutely never forgive Chu Wanning.

"Never say never. Just because something doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't in the future. If even an imperial army can be named Wangba, I don't think it's impossible that something else might be called Ji Ba in the future."
And then Mo Ran a centuary (?) later was like hold my beer hold the skull of my enemy: Mo Ran eventually came up with a title that shook heavens and earth, that made gods and ghosts weep alike: "Ji Ba".
