    Then a western novel with those elements you've mentioned can also be considered an asian novel? Like the one im reading right now, i cant tell the difference between what im currently reading and some of Korean and Japanese novels im reading.

    See the authors name or the native language or the way they are written then. Or maybe you are too small for that.

    It's an English Original then that'd would be no, they won't accept it here. Do you even need to translate English novel to English?

    This thread makes me think someone has an ulterior motive.

    I have this sensation, this ominous feeling, as if every user in NUF has read LMS...
    For some reason, don't ask me why...

    There is not only Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai. Maybe other country haven't found any willing translation to translate the other language novel or we don't know which is even after registered to NUF>

    for one i'm really surprised to found my nation (Indonesia) novel in here

    Woah... That was harsh to say when im just pointing something out... Dont be aggresive sheesh..

    Actually what im talking about is how the person i qouted said it has to have those elements to be an asian novel. What would happen when none of those elements he pointed in a novel? It would not be considered asian?

    You can still identify a novel whether its Asian or not. But let's leave it to Connoseiurs. I need to play AC4 black flag

    For now, NU has novels in Japanese,Chinese,Korean,and Vietnamese being translated. The reason why the other Asian languages are not here can be anything,with one major thing being they are not online. They are not webnovels so you cannot just randomly translate them..you need to talk to the publishers and stuff like that.So far,NU has not grown to that level.
    EDIT: I think novels form the Philippines are also being done..Not sure about the rest~

    I take it as you have never use that site before NU's existence. I had been using that site years ago, and I can say it didn't exist back then. It's newly added given how those are becoming more popular.
