Mandarin (which is what you meant) isn't genderless at all. Spoken mandarin they all sound the same but in written mandarin it's very easy to dicern 他 (he), 她 (she), and 它 (neuter, and often used for animals too). If this was cantonese then you would be right as in cantonese there is only 佢 for third person at which point you give up and guess (trust me all us canto speakers just guess on context and get it right 70% of the time...).

So anytime you see in a yiyin a character being referred to as both male and female what it actually was is the translator not proof-reading (even edited MTL if you proof-read you would immediately notice the erreur and can fix it since 9/10 times all it was a dropped pronoun due to the character being established as a woman and as such referring to her as a woman over and over being redundant in mandarin (they do this in japanese too))
I used to translate from Japanese, so I know that. By Chinese being genderless I meant exactly what you said. Where they establish the gender of a character at one point, but it's not obvious from the words themselves since they don't change based on gender like in languages like Spanish. Even English provides this information through pronouns, which are required most of the time to refer to someone.

他, 她, and 它 are all gendered pronouns though. Mandarin is just part of the pro-drop linguistics group like japanese where they just drop things that can be inferred by context often after it's been established first (honestly japanese does it even more than mandarin since mandarin only drops pronouns)...

That sick general didn't fight in the war, his strength was actually weak. He excels in the brains department as a competent commander


The dragon girl has very little scenes not just this fight but pretty much the entire volume. Mostly because she is overkill and isn't very good at self control yet. But the manga can change things, who knows. And at this pacing I wouldn't be surprised if they finish vol 1 quickly despite it being very long
Well, they changed the gender of that guy who cast curse to become female and maybe the dragon girl will shop up regularly, i hope so 😔

I'm going to predict that the princess will be captured. Or MC just goes there causing massacre or negotiate

Honestly the only thing the TL notes tell me is that this manhua is trash and I’m better off reading the novel

Does anyone know who the artist for this is? I tried clicking on the one listed here, but I just got a bunch of other unrelated ones
