Is There An Official English Translation Of The My House Of Horrors Novel?

I absolutely adore the original Chinese webnovel by I Fix Air Conditioner and hope there's an official English translation to recommend to my non-Mandarin speaking horror fan friends.

The fan translation remnants are like pieces of a shipwreck. You find a chunk of hull here (arcs 1-3 relatively complete), a piece of mast there (scattered later chapters), and a lot of empty ocean in between. Dedicated fans have tried to map the wreckage, creating reading guides and compiling what's available.

It's a community effort born of necessity. People share personal EPUBs they've cobbled together, always with the disclaimer that it's incomplete and the quality is uneven. It's a labor of love, but it's unsustainable for a work of this scale.

This patchwork access defines the current Western experience of the novel. It's not a curated, professional product; it's a salvage operation. There's a certain romance to that, but romance doesn't make the plot any easier to follow.

I tried the fan translation a long time ago and gave up because the names kept changing. One chapter it's 'Chen Ge,' the next it's 'Old Chen' or a completely different romanization. It was too distracting trying to keep track of who was who.

An official translation would standardize all that. Consistent names, consistent terminology for the ghosts and artifacts. It would make the complex plot actually followable. That's a huge part of what we're paying for—coherence.

Right now, reading it is an act of reconstruction. You're not just absorbing a story; you're piecing one together from disparate, irregular fragments. Some people enjoy that puzzle, but for most, it's just a barrier to enjoyment.

The most practical advice I can give is to set a Google Alert for the title. Use the Chinese characters if you can copy them: 我有一座恐怖屋. Also set alerts for 'My House of Horrors licensed' or 'official translation.' Then just forget about it and live your life.

If news ever breaks, you'll get an email. It's the least stressful way to stay in the loop without constantly searching and being disappointed. It outsources the disappointment to an automated system.

In the meantime, read other stuff. 'The Author's POV' has some similar meta-horror comedy vibes. 'Custom Made Demon King' has the system management aspect. They're not the same, but they might scratch a similar itch while we wait for the real thing.

At this point, my headcanon for the ending is probably better than whatever a rough translation would give me. I've imagined how the mysteries resolve. Maybe that's the way to go—treat the official translation as Act I and write your own Act II in your mind. It's not ideal, but it's a form of closure the real world hasn't provided.

Comparing it to other translated webnovels is painful. You see forums buzzing about the latest chapter of 'Omniscient Reader' or 'Trash of the Count's Family,' with official discussions and clean websites. Then you wander into a 'My House of Horrors' thread, and it's like a digital swap meet of broken links and 'does anyone have a copy of chapter...?'

It creates a weird hierarchy in the fandom. The have-nots looking in at the haves. It shouldn't be that way. A good story is a good story, and access shouldn't be this uneven. The success of other translations proves the model works, which makes this particular absence even more glaring.

Is there an official English translation of My House of Horror novel?

Look, if you loved the clever, system-based horror and the protagonist's insane bravery, the official translation gets all that across. The translator clearly understands the core loop of investigation, survival, and upgrade. Descriptions of the haunted scenarios are vivid and unsettling. They also do a good job with the game-like elements, making the skill acquisition and item usage clear. Where it sometimes falters is in the humor; the protagonist's deadpan reactions in dire situations don't always land with the same punch. But for the main attraction—the horror—it's thoroughly effective. You'll still jump at the shadows the story creates in your mind.

How does the My House of Horrors novel differ from the manhua adaptation?

11 Answers2026-08-04 08:31:44
The manhua feels more... communal? It's easier to share a crazy panel on social media, to point and say 'look at this!' The novel's scares are a private, internal experience. Discussing the novel requires describing scenes and feelings, while discussing the manhua is often about the art. They foster different types of fan engagement.

I’m gonna throw 'The Elementals' by Michael McDowell into the ring, even though it’s Southern Gothic American. It’s too good not to mention for haunted houses and family secrets. Two Alabama families share a cluster of three Victorian houses on a remote beach, one of which is being consumed by sand and something else. The horror is tied to the land and the families’ intertwined, sordid histories. The 'haunting' is elemental, ancient, and deeply weird. McDowell’s writing is witty and lush, making the grotesque feel mundane and the mundane feel terrifying. The family dynamics—snobbery, resentment, buried affairs—are just as compelling as the supernatural threat.

Data usage is a thing to consider if you're not always on Wi-Fi. Some of these reading sites have heavy images, ads, and scripts that chew through data. Look for 'reader mode' options or use an app that caches chapters for offline reading. The official apps usually have download functions, which are perfect for commuting or travel. Plan your reading platform around your lifestyle.

from what I can tell, there isn't an official English translation available yet. I checked several major publishers and official sites, but no luck. Fan translations exist, but they vary in quality. If you're desperate to read it, you might have to rely on those or wait for an official release. I remember 'The Apothecary Diaries' took years to get an official translation, so patience might be key here. The lack of an official version is frustrating, but it’s not uncommon for niche titles.
