    Name: Crown of Thorns
    Raw Link: i have the raws if someone is interested, anyway you can find a brief preview of the novel on ridibooks https://ridibooks.com/v2/Detail?id=297022802
    NU Link: it's doesn't exist
    Why It Should Get Picked Up: I'd love if someone could pick this up, i know it'll be quite a challenge since it has 5 volumes, but the story seems great and i read many reviews of people enjoying it so i think it would be a pity to leave it untranslated. From what i could understand the story is about a cursed witch, who brought monsters and destruction in a country and its king realizing that no matter how many times he killed her she wouldn't die, he trapped her in a huge tower and left there alone. Many knight still tried to kill her to break curse, but in vain and the witch was only left with the hope that one day someone could finally end her miserable life. The ML i think his name is Evan (?) is one of those knight who hopes to kill her, but he actually became curious by her and i'd love to know how their interaction will be like!! especially with the fact that it seems like the MC is immortal and a sort of villain ( i think?)

    Description:

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The person who was locked away inside the thorn-covered tower was not a princess, but a witch who employed the powers of darkness.
    A brave young hero came searching for the tower in order to kill the witch.

    - Light would force the darkness to recede, and grant it eternal rest

    The witch wished.
    That things would end with, ‘and the hero lived happily ever after killing the witch,’ like in the fairy tales.

    And so, she had devised everything to happen in accordance to her wishes.
    But the boy, who had grown up in but no time at all, would make the unfamiliar face of man’s from time to time.

    “You want me to kill you? ……Do you really think I’ll let you go?”

    Reality was very different from the fairy tales.

    “The people don’t know of the precious treasure locked away in the tower.
    I won’t let anyone else have this god given treasure, this crown of god surrounded by thorns that no one else could recognize.”

    The hero gave the witch a slow and deep kiss.

    “I am the true victor, and no one else.”

    Translated by @Sephi-chama thank youu ( please, check out her fabulous translations on https://rainytranslations.wordpress.com/)

    Love the cover, and seems really interesting, where to get the books tough? On Ridi?
    And is it 3 volumes or 5?
    PS: Can't find the novel on rainy translations... Only see the main project Rain, and the other 3 secondary projects... Can anyone help?

    Yes, you can find the books on ridibooks and you're right there are 5 volumes. Anyway the owner of rainy translations is not translating this novel, she just translated the plot but I hope someone will be willing to pick this project up.

    I'm interested in the novel, but I'm not too sure on picking it up as I'm using translating as a way to learn Korean. If nobody picks it up in a couple of months, I don't mind trying. But no promises on quality and speed lol, as I'm already translating another novel atm.

    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    The premise is really different from what I have seen until now and I like it very much. The protagonist is immortal and wants to die but the hero supposed to kill her ends up falling in love with her. There are 5 books/volumes(?) and the prologue of the 1st one is translated: https://bumtranslations.weebly.com/cot---v1c0.html
    There is a review in Korean if anyone is interested: https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.n...71632340&proxyReferer=https://www.google.com/

    Description:

    "The person who was locked away inside the thorn-covered tower was not a princess, but a witch who employed the powers of darkness.

    A brave young hero came searching for the tower in order to kill the witch.

    – Light would force the darkness to recede, and grant it eternal rest

    Sorry for the confusion, I went through the pick up requests but didn't see this one. I have already reported mine so it will be locked up.

    Ugh I hope this is picked up:blobpeek:
