    Hi~
    I'm starting to translate a new Korean romance light novel!
    I believe it is about 65ish chapters long with a few more epilogues and extras.
    I need an editor!

    When I translate, I read the Korean then translate to English. But sometimes (more often than not) I translate too literally and it causes problems because it can be awkward. I'm not the best artistic translator either.

    The genre: SMUT!!! marriage contract, sweet love, bad boy, possessiveness. time slip, healing story. It takes place in the western/nobles/historical settings. There is magic and all that jazz but it's a real romance novel to the core.

    So.... a good chunk of this story has very lengthy sexy times. girlxboy So you MUST be comfortable with this. But other than that, this is just a very very sweet romance story. It is so sweet it will give you a cavity. 오글오글~

    Oh, I forgot to mention, more than 13 thousand people voted on this novel with an average of 4.5 stars!

    If you like Korean drama you will like this story! (I hope)

    I don't translate that fast.... probably the fastest will be once a week. I hope I can hang on until the end!
    I already purchased all the novels, 8 volumes.

    I don't want to spoil the story too much, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
    I've always translated kdrama/kshows and this is my first korean light novel. I will be posting it on
