    I wanted to get started with editing. Even though i don't have any previous experience, my current English proficiency is as good as that of a native. I don't want any monetary rewards, but it would be nice if the release rate is steady and regular. I like to do a little everyday.

    I believe Chamber might be looking for an editor for the series 'Possessing Nothing'.

    Try volunteering for a project in need first. Once you have some experience you'll have more success looking for a paid gig, especially if you keep a copy of the before and after to show exactly how capable you are.

    Its a bit ironic that a translation with a good editor, make it so the editor its invisible...

    You can go to his site for a prompt response (sorry I can't post links yet)

    You can go to his site by looking for chamber's cleanup crew on NU

    and click the discord link at the bottom. Then speak to him in the general discussion channel using @Chamber at the start of your message.

    Could you also help even as minor side job on Estelion’s Secret Imouto's translations? If you just look at their translation's 1 star reviews here in NUF like "I Said Make My Abilities Average" people are complaining about the bad english. I think they really needed the help.

    The site is imoutosite. wordpress. com

    Hey, good luck!

    I only found that lowercase "i" in your second sentence, but it's such a tiny typo I'm okay ignoring it.

    ^ I'm upvoting this.
