Traditionally, readers seeking out translated editions of Chinese fiction were faced with few options. Either they were limited to mass produced titles, and therefore books that were of dubious quality in terms of both printing and translation, or, if a title was published by one of the major publishers, they were usually stories that contributed to a narrow understanding of both China and Chinese literature. These books were usually lovingly marketed and packaged, but nevertheless lacked nuance when it came to their narratives.
