    Are you sure you want to set up a company for translating these novels without buying its license?

    This site stopped translating its novels because of people copying them, so there are plenty of novels on there. trungtnguyen123.org/
    From that site, I would probably want Black Belly Wife to be translated the most out of all of them, really liked the intro to that book.

    @Wujigege
    I think this is an awesome initiative--picking up stories that have been abandoned, and finally providing readers with the ending they have long yearned to read, giving them closure. Thank you, really, and I very much hope this works out.

    Re: A Generation of Military Counselor (translated/total) (26/43)
    As mentioned previously by @aru, the original translator has recently posted a notice here:
    https://nuttyisprocrasinating.wordp...-by-nutty-a-generation-of-military-counselor/
    In short, Nutty has given permission for someone else to pick up this novel--though it seems she will still continue translating regardless, posting one new chapter every couple of months or so. If you take this on, do please start with Ch. 28, however, as Nutty will post Ch. 27 within the next week or so. Also, if you haven't managed to contact her directly and still wish to do so, maybe Sian could meditate that. Sian is the other translator on Nutty's site, and you can contact her by commenting on her latest translation post (for Record of Washed Grievances).

    The suggestions I wish to personally add on this thread, and for which I would be super extremely grateful if you were to pick up any of them :), are the following (fair warning, these novels may include at least a bit of romance):
    Song in the Clouds (1-42, 44, 54-end/58): missing chapters 43, 45-53. Last update on 05/18/13. This has been 100% certain abandoned--the initial translator just skipped some chapters and translated the ending to give some closure, but the story is incomplete because of those missing chapters, which is heart-breaking for such a complex, beautiful novel. Even if you pick nothing else on this list, please consider picking up this novel at least.
    Dragons Flies Phoenix Dances (31/81): Last update on 12/21/16, and I know for a fact that they'd be happy is someone else were to finish this, because they're having trouble with it (they were offering this project to Sian not too long ago. As you see, the last update was over 2 months ago.)
    Qie Shi Tian Xia/Who Gets the World (4.2/57): Last update from original translator was on 11/29/16, after a break of 1.5 years. While another translator posted some tidbits (2/3 of chapter 4) last month, is seems like it was a one-off. Now, I realize this novel is, technically, barely started, and it's not like only the last couple of chapters are missing... This would be a longer endeavour (while there are only 53 chapters left, they are on the long side). But it's a wonderful wuxia romance, and it's on lots of reading lists, and nobody is translating it anymore! :cry: Please consider adopting it.
    The Emperor’s Strategy (~4/20): Another exceptional wuxia romance. The translation was in summary fashion, with detailed translations for pivotal scenes, and covers the first 3 chapters + I'm not exactly sure how much of ch.4. It was abandoned on 05/30/14.
    Last but not least Nirvana In Fire (26/174), last update on 12/25/16 (so, it's passed the 3-month mark), not a romance. I realize this is likely longer than what you're looking for, but I had to at least mention it, because it's absolutely wonderful and intricately plotted, and it'd be a real pity if this were to be left untranslated.

    So these are it, the abandoned novels I'm most anxious to see finished one day. Sorry that the post turned kinda long, and thank you again for opening this thread, and of course, your site. Like I said, I really admire your initiative. :)

    If you also do Japanese...

    There is Kage Kara Mamoru. However I don't really know what's up with it's status. It was licensed but after a couple of months or a year, Seven Seas seemed to have removed it from their listing. So it seems like they no longer licensed it. But It's so vague that I have no idea what's going on with it.

    I've been wanting to read that for ages though.

    so are you dropping Douluo Dalu 2.5 since it is a qidian novel?
    what? that truly would be a nightmare if a side story became multiple times bigger then the main 3 novels combined...
    Translationsnation.com decided to take it from them a the readers were begging them to do so...
