    I'm looking for Chinese short stories or short novels that haven't been translated yet. Bonus points for romance (fluffy or angsty). A friend and I are looking to pick up translations again (friend will be doing MTL with lots of editing). If you have a suggestion, can you provide the link to the raws?

    Also, is there a good way to find raws for short stories/novels in general?

    Thanks in advance!

    to find raws, it's best to google the chinese version's title or author: eg 唐家三少? I dunno, never failed me before.

    I know two eastern fantasy romance novels which haven't been translated before.
    They belong to the type of 男频 (Stories loved by boys) with lots of love affairs with male protagonist.
    By the way, the romance are kind of cautious and tentative. It's up to your taste.
    You can find the raws through baidu 姬叉, a famous author of Qi Dian.
