    I am looking for a novel to translate that isnt r-18 or smut
    Male protagonist and action/adventure.
    I have about 3 novels that will be completed soon ( less than 50 chapters each left)
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers!

    I am only for Japanese novels

    Don't think there's any such tag. Ur best best is to avoid JP novels cuz that's where all betas gather.

    What about having someone else translate a Chinese or Korean novel into Japanese before letting your Japanese translator translate it into English. Boom 9999+ IQ.

    Cold protagonist or ruthless protagonist should work though some spineless ones might sneak in as they might grow one later in the books

    There are a few Japanese novels that come to mind, but given the tags you given they are all isekai.

    1) Overlord- Nigel sama sama is leaving so I think there is an opening there. I dont know if someone will pick up the next volume.

    2 Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite- Guy gets isekaied into otome game. The guy is cool and actually competent which explains the kinda harem. Its kinda harem because he only has his eyes on one girl which is his wife. The last chapter was 75 and I think the translator dropped it.

    3)I, a Demon Lord, Took a Slave Elf as My Wife, but How Do I Love Her?- Its debatable if he is a beta.

    I think the 3rd option is licensed and well translated by J-Novel club.

    https://j-novel.club/s/an-archdemon-s-dilemma-how-to-love-your-slave-elf-bride/search?curFilter={"order":"title+ASC","keyword":"","type":"Novel"}&curModel=series

    In other words, I wouldn't bother and I'd just hand over a few coins for a professional translation with pictures.

    What's the line for non-beta? does a sex-obsessed Mc considered as alpha? does a calm Mc whose being careful in relationship considered as beta?

    I'm still confused with these.. :blobconfused:

    You can find more chapter on translator site. I don't remember the reason. But the chapter afterward isn't indexed on NU

    Prolly everyone, but if it is so eye-fucking that it needs to be tagged, then it's usually "dense protagonist".

    *ShitEditEditEdit
    @Wujigege
    I only glanced at the title and took it as "the tag for beta males" so my answer was complete opposite of meaning.
    If we're seeking for reasonable MC in JP novels then prolly as stated below:
    It's seinen.
