    Hi there! I'm Kiki :) and I run Isohungrytls.com. We currently host and translate Consort Overturning the World, Expelled From Paradise, Run Over, Seiken no Sword Labyrinth, Bewitching Prince, Quick Transmigration, Wangye's Maid is the Sect Leader and a whole slew of other novels! Too lazy to list them all :p Check them out at isohungrytls.com!

    We're currently recruiting:

    >Translators
    Chinese, Japanese, and Korean translators are all welcome! You can choose to pick up your own novel, bring an already translated novel, or join one of our current translators on a novel if they're willing!
    Note: If you translate Chinese, we recommend you to choose a novel from a source other than Qidian. Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be short lived.

    >Editors
    We urgently need some editors right now, English isn't many of our translator's first language. We're hoping for long term editors (at least a month please), so if you think you're going to quit in a few days or weeks, please don't apply :(. Choosing and testing editors take quite a lot of time. Sorry!

    >Translator Checkers
    TLC'ers are near always in need~

    We have a translator (possibly 2), that "can" translate Chinese, but isn't always 100% accurate. If anyone is kind enough to free time out of their busy schedules to read over a few chapters a week, we'd be so, so grateful!

    To apply or ask questions, please contact me at Isohungrytls.com's contact page over here!

    Thank you for reading up to here!

    Some extra information: I take care of all the hosting fees, templates, website design & management, as well as all the technical stuff. Don't worry and leave it to us! We're really lax on a lot of stuff, so as long as you guys don't do anything not-so-smart like cursing at the readers, then we'll get along great!

    -Kiki

    What's the test for editors? Is there any need for the editor to have knowledge in languages other than english? If there is not I can give it a try but this would be my firat doing anything like this.

    The test will be to edit a few paragraphs of my current project :). I'm using my current editor as a minimum standard.

    There's no need for you to know languages other than English, but you must be proficient in English and have read translated novels before. For the latter requirement, its so that you know and understand phrases like: 'Has eyes but can't see Mt.Tai' or 'She has no face!'.

    Thank you for asking!
    o_O you know me?

    :p haha, that's my own personal project~. If you don't want to edit, you don't have to of course :)

    If you want a "manly" and "macho" novel, I'm afraid we only have Seiken No Sword Labyrinth if anything. Sorry!
