Ongoing Projects
Annotated version RI project
Hello, overseas RI fans.I am a native Chinese speaker and a reader of GZR.I have always been shocked that so many overseas friends like this webnovel.RI is excellent enough even in China, the birthplace of webnovel.However, GZR likes to use homophonic stalks, China traditional culture and metaphors that only native Chinese speakers can comprehend in the first time.For example, the protagonist's name is Guyue Fangyuan, where Gu Yue is "古月" and GZR's surname is Hu-"胡". If you compare these two words, what will you find? Obviously, GZR created Fang Yuan based on himself, which is also the villain in his mind.I have noticed that many of you are curious about the meaning of Fang Yuan's name, and then choose to ask ChatGPT, but GPT's answer is not accurate enough.I will explain this later.Therefore, I think that for an excellent novel like RI, translation can only achieve 70% effect, which is undoubtedly a huge loss.Therefore, I have always wanted to make a native speaker's note for the English translation of RI, so that everyone can feel the charm of 90% RI. This will be a huge workload, but your love makes me think it is worthwhile. I have had this idea for a long time, and recently I finally have some free time to finish my idea.What kind of readers is this project aimed at? It is oriented to the most essential part of RI-the wonderful plot and the deep combination of China traditional culture and philosophy.Who are the specific readers? Readers who are ready to read RI for the second time and want to understand RI better.What kind of readers? Readers who like film analysis and literary criticism.Generally speaking, it is a reader who loves RI enough and has patience.If this project really starts, to be honest, I don't recommend those readers who read RI for the first time to read this annotated version of RI, which is too lengthy for the first time to get in touch with the rapidly changing and wonderful plot.But for most fans of this channel, this will be a project for you to get to know RI better.by u/Smartistian

Reverend Insanity YT Channel (fan made)
Welcome, fellow demonic cultivator.
This channel is a personal archive and tribute to Reverend Insanity—one of the most profound and unflinching novels ever written, I created this space to preserve and share everything related to RI for both veterans and newcomers alike.🔻 What you'll find here:Quotes from the novel—raw, philosophical, ruthless. I’m curating the most impactful lines that define Fang Yuan’s path and mindset.Silent Music that reflects the cold, calculating atmosphere of RI—minimalist, emotional, and introspective.Artworks & Fan Creations – both original and curated, visualizing the world of Gu Masters in a style that fits the tone of the novel.Project Updates & News about the Reverend Insanity fandom and anything related to ongoing translations, animations, fan projects, or hopeful revivals.This isn’t just a channel—it’s a place to remember what RI taught us: that strength reigns supreme, sentiment is a burden, and perseverance is the blade that cuts through fate.If you’re here, chances are you already understand. And if not, you will.also the Creator of this webpageby u/red_sora
Reverend Insanity Art Board
Hi, some of you know me and others don’t yet. A few months ago, I created a Pinterest account with over 2,000 real Reverend Insanity artworks from various Chinese apps. I made it so people would stop using stolen or incorrect art — for example, the famous image of the man sitting on the chair is not Fang Yuan, but actually Sun Tuo from another Chinese manhua.Also, if you don’t see certain artworks on my Pinterest that you’ve seen in posts or edits, it probably means those artworks aren’t actually from Reverend Insanity.Anyway, I’m counting on your support!I’m not an artist, I credit everyone who creates art.

Shared Wisdom / Voice From community
I guess every artist has to defend themselves against AI claims at some point...Hello! I'm rococo (hikarifujisan), I am an artist and in the light of recent events I felt like a have to speak up about something. I worked on the storyboards for the fan-made RI manhua. It was a big pleasure working on it since I didn't know about the novel before and now I had to read it meticulously to convey everything the author wanted and I come to genuinely like the story! I was a big fan of cultivation type works even before this and RI has a big interesting and detailed world. Why am I saying all of this here now? My long message is mainly to the mods who insulted my artistic ability. You are in your own right to be concerned about copyright issues I will never debate that. But where I draw the line is the claims of Al. I spend long hours, days converting original text into illustrated format. I take pride in my work, especially since I work on my own comic as well. I detest even the tinniest usage of Al in art in any shape or form. And any person with eyes would be able to tell that while looking at my drawings (4-7). And you strongly insinuating that my and other people's hard work is Al is hurtful and insulting.You could've just said that you worry about the copyright problems end of story and yet you had to take it a step further and diminish my sincere efforts. Every character's gaze, every grin and smile, every frame and panel has a human thought behind it. MY thought behind it. All in an attempt to convey original story. I don't even use reddit but now has to defend myself against something I completely hate which is Al. Thank you to everyone who read all of this and have a pleasant day.by u/Content_Progress7225
“Don’t think that theft path is shameless or vicious.Many things can be looked at with another perspective.Steal a hook and they hang you, steal the whole country and they make you a prince! Any clan or sect makes their members contribute towards the organization, this is an open form of thievery but is taken for granted.For example, Heavenly Court makes members who join contribute their immortal apertures, they are basically handing over their entire life’s cultivation gains. In terms of theft path, this is Heavenly Court stealing the cultivation gains of Gu Immortals. But people think of it as a form of glory, they would die to have this chance.Weak mortals are also able to steal the cultivation gains of Gu Immortals, that is shown by the true inheritances left by all the different Gu Immortals. But this world treats that as a norm, it is the culture.Thievery is merely the most efficient way of gaining something. Creating an organization and making rules, making up honor or using emotions and culture, these are all theft path methods.The most powerful theft path method is — assimilation.”When grotto-heavens or blessed lands get destroyed, the winds of assimilation will blow and turn everything into nothingness, the dao marks in the immortal apertures would be assimilated and absorbed by this heaven and earth.”The greatest thief is this world itself!It steals the cultivation gains of countless generations of peerless geniuses, it accumulates more and more dao marks, or even produces new types of dao marks. It stole me from another world, making me an otherworldly demon. It steals the lifespan of myriad beings, it ensures the death of all lifeforms in this world.The theft path I created imitates heaven and earth! Using the most efficient method to gather benefits and strengthen oneself...”~ thieving heaven demon venerableby u/IntrepidAir3399
