    Why It Should Get Picked Up: A cool korean novel. Translator said he was leaving the translation scene so he won't have time for this.
    Description:
    Trying to earn a living everyday kept Hyun-Soo busy. However, one day when he was doing a side job of threading beads, he realized something.
    -Ding!
    [Bead threading skill has been created] The truth was that he was the Skill Maker.

    If the translator has dropped it as the thread poster has said then I don’t think it matters if it’s been 3 months or not.

    Edit: just seen this on the website~

    Yeah, the 3 months thing is mostly so that translators don't "steal" each other's ongoing projects when translation's slow or there's unexpected/unannounced delay as I understand. Dropped translation is free for the picking.

    That is not true.
    Any translator can pick up after 30 days and get added to Novel Updates
    The three months rules is to prevent this forum from being spammed with Pick Up Requests

    I couldn't translate to save my life but if whoever picks this up wants I can do editing for legibility, consistency, and spelling.
