    Hi, I wanted to post rough chapter summary spoilers for a manhwa that has no novel, but am not sure where to post them. I also can't find the title anywhere in this forum either. Is there a place I can post them here?

    Translator's Corner

    If you scroll down on the Forum main page, you'll find it listed. Translator's Corner.png

    That probably belongs in the Spoilers Forum. Be sure to use the spoiler threads template to design your thread.

    I just joined in today as a new member. May I suggest that new members like myself be pointed directly to this thread. This would save a lot of time and avoid unnecessary frustration.
    Thank you. :)

    That would be nice. Look @Tony this sounds like a nice suggestion.

    Update: Not possible at this time.The owner said it'll take too much time to implement.

    I've been seeing this often on people's last seen.

    "xxxx was last seen viewing unknown page ** minutes ago"

    I assume that since I can see their last seen, they've turned on the permissions to let me see it. So is this unknown page some page that I cannot access?

    PS. Not important, just curious.

    more 99.99% of the time, it just means they're on the main site. the forum isn't able to know which page people are on the main site.

    1. Click on the "I'm looking for" page
    2. Go to the button on the top right corner that says "Post New Thread"
    3. You can see a dropbox that says "No Prefix" beside the title bar. You can select Forgotten Title there.
    I'm unable to post the screenshots for some reason, so sorry if this doesn't help much.

    Hi! I know it's basic etiquette to not translate novels other people have worked on. Every translator puts lots of effort and normally shares their translation out of kindness and love for the novel.
    But what if the current translation *cough*, how to put it, doesn't flow very well or isn't that easy to understand?
    Is it okay to ask someone else to pick it up?
    I have dropped many a novel for this reason and recently tried to read a full translation but couldn't continue. I thought about posting it on the Novel Pickup Request forum but figured I'd ask if that was okay first.
    Thanks!!!

    If a novel has multiple preface chapters before the main story, what would you name them when adding the chapter releases?

    Personally I'd call them Preface 1, preface 2, etc. I think it's a personal choice that different translators would do differently, though.
