    I can list more but the OP can also just look at series ranking and turn filter on for only Korean novels xD

    My news source told me that the raws of blood martial god (혈무신) is not available anymore... and it's cancerous...

    And dude, don't tell me you like all of them? What are you going to do if the most voted one isn't to your taste?

    And proficiency of hanja maybe needed too. Consider those as well.

    @jenchan It's [The Skill 'Maker'], not [The Skill 'Master']. You might wanna change that

    Well, I did mention in the beginning that I'm willing to translate the one that interests me and if I can find the raws for it.

    I definitely recommend Elqueeness. It's not everyone's cup of tea though but I really enjoy the novel.

    I guess they're still translating that novel. Thanks for pointing that out!

    After looking at the list, I'm thinking about looking into the following novels:

    • The Mightiest Manager
    • Elqueeness
    • 21st Century Archmage
    For the other novels that had some votes, the last chapter was uploaded sometime this year, so I don't want to pick it up. It's possible that the chapters are just delayed.

    If you have any other suggestions, please let me know and I'll look into those as well.

    Thanks for all the suggestions! ^^

    Hey guys!

    So after searching, I was only able to find the raws of The Mightiest Manager.
    I know Elqueeness was one of the highest recommend novel, but I couldn't find the raws for it. If you guys know of any sites that have the raws, please let me know and I'll definitely check it out.

    The Skill Maker is another one that I'm thinking about. I accidentally made a typo on the poll, so there aren't any votes on it, but I did see some people mentioning it.

    Please let me know what you guys think! I really appreciate your suggestions. ^^

    Thanks!

    Do you mean Revolution of the 8th Mage? If so, someone already stated that it's being translated.
