    Eternal Life and Legend of Great Saint. Though these 2 have MTL, but I think they would benefit greatly from a decent human translation. Honestly, Eternal Life human translated chapters look like MTL....

    We just need a girl or preferably a trap to take one for the team.

    We can secure a rich Chinese young master that way to fund translations

    I promise it will work.
    I take 30% fee for coming up with this genius idea

    I feel your pain. I feel like it would take me years and years to learn decent Chinese and even then I probably wouldn’t understand these books!

    If you're too lazy to post a proper pick up request, imagine what the translators would feel.

    Guin Saga, is an epic tale but did never really get the popularity it deserves in the West.

    Id the greatest fusion fantasy. I’m pretty sure it became a meme a few years ago that whoever picked it up dropped it for some reason or the other. I think the last translator just dropped off the face of the earth or somehting

    Fantasy World Transmigration. To bad it's a fanfic and owned by Qidian. Truly a double whammy

    trafford's trading club -
    There are some chapters that are translated. But a lot of them are done trough machine translation rather than proper translator.
    It doesn't seem like it's going to get the love it deserves

    I find that hard to believe since Qidan owns the rights
