Dear Wuxiaworld Community,

It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we inform our cherished readers of the passing of Jyazen, a beloved member of our Wuxiaworld family. Jyazen was not just an integral part of our team but also held a special place in the hearts of countless readers, having worked diligently on Overgeared and I Gave Up Being Stronger throughout his time with us.

Jyazen's passion, dedication, and commitment to bringing stories to life were unparalleled. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every word resonated with our readers, making him one of the most esteemed editors within our community.

Our translator for Overgeared, RainbowTurtle, has shared a few words in memory of Jyazen:

Hello,

Sad greetings from Rainbow Turtle here. It was with great shock that I received the news of the passing of Jyazen, a great friend and a big part of the Overgeared community. 

Jyazen has been there for a large part of my Overgeared journey, double-checking facts that were hard for me to remember after almost 2,000 chapters and just being there to complain about or feel excited about recent events in the novel. 

As a friend, fellow reader, active member of the community and overall great person, Jyazen will be greatly missed. Please join me in a moment of remembrance and I hope Jyazen rests in peace.

In addition, retired penguin, Jyazen's supervisor, and representative of our entire staff, has also penned a heartfelt eulogy:

Wuxiaworld is a world of fantasy.

And fantasy is built on hopes and dreams.

Hopes and dreams that somewhere, in this universe or another, there is something better waiting for us. That somewhere, there is a world of beauty, a world of wonder, a world free of pain. A world where things can be, as long as we will them into existence. 

Now, one of those who carved some of the beauty of that world into our hearts is no longer among us.

Jyazen has parted from us in a way that was as painful as it was unexpected. He was always there with us, laughing even when life handed him the bad cards. He was always there to help. He was always there to offer some advice from his years of editing experience, comfort someone who didn’t have it easy, or extend an invitation to some durian pizza. He was always there…until he wasn’t.

Jyazen wrote so, so many words for us, but now, what words can we write for him?

We hope that, whatever world you’ve gone to, it welcomes you with arms wide open. That in your new world, you’re the main character of everyone’s story. That all the things you did with us and for us will stay with you as the best karma of all.

As for those of us still taking care of the world you built…we will miss you, brother.

As a mark of respect and in memory of Jyazen's immense contribution, we will be pausing chapter releases for Overgeared and I Gave Up Being Stronger for the next three days. We believe this period will allow both our team and readers to pay tribute and reflect upon the indelible mark he has left behind.

During this difficult time, we kindly request your understanding and patience. We know many of you looked forward to Jyazen's meticulous edits and the rich experience he brought to each chapter. As we mourn this significant loss, we are reminded of the tight-knit community we have built together and are grateful for the support and understanding we have always received from you.

Please join us in sending thoughts and prayers to Jyazen's family and loved ones. We will forever cherish the memories, legacy, and stories he helped bring to life.
