About the author
Xu Yi is one of the translators involved in rendering foreign literature for the Chinese book market, and public information about the translator is limited: nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the four works held in the catalog, Xu Yi's translations cover two kinds of material: the light novels Classroom of the Elite: Second Year, Volumes 5 and 6, which deal with campus competition, and two volumes in the mystery series The推理 Casebook of Detective Otono Jun—The Dancing Clown and The Ship in the Sky. The former emphasizes ensemble characters and psychological maneuvering, while the latter focuses on deduction and suspense, showing the translator's adaptability within genre fiction. The translations carry the task of rendering the Japanese originals' plotting, dialogue rhythm, and mystery clues into Chinese for readers in the foreign literature category.
