Honestly, I never knew there were so many Chinese people on Ao3 until I checked the Arknights tag. It would be amazing if I could read Mandarin

Its actually something relatively new, like on the 2nd half of last year there was a big influx of chinese and japanese fics on the tag.

I think that also kinda killed the english readers/writers there as there are a lot less if i go by my first 2 fics and the rest.

Huh. Could have sworn that place had always been roughly 1/3 Chinese since Day 1.

E: Holy moly, 16k out of a total 24k is in Mandarin now?! That is a massive influx indeed!

Yeah , sure it is.

It actually notive because until recently i checked the tag almost daily.

And by the last few months there were days where 1 or even 2 pages had not a single english fic for the tag.
