    Name: A Sorcerer’s Journey

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: According to @Stark3 it is a amazing novel of the Western Fantasy genre. The Qidian translation has been dropped for 3 months, so it is appropriate time to put up a Pickup Request.
    Yes that's right, it isn't simply a novel on Qidian China, it has actually been translated by Qidian International AND dropped! Calling for brave heroes!
    Description:
    “With my knowledge, give me a fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world!”



    Sorcerer Continent—a world where sorcerers exist. Wielders of arcane knowledge. Masters of all elements. Sovereigns of space and time. These sorcerers governed the world with their unrivalled prowess. One day, a young man awakened into this world with his past forgotten and no place to call home. Follow along as Glenn, by relying on his luck and wit, tries to survive and advance in this unforgiving world. Entangled within the machinations of fate, political schemes, power struggles and wars, he forges his own path and creates a place for himself.

    Note: There were certain problems with the Qidian TL-work expounded here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/sorcerers-journey-needs-better-translation.41215/

    So you want a random translator to pick up a novel that QI Already picked up, even if it's dropped now, just so that they can either suffer DMCA or join QI to continue translating it?
    The Pick Up requests are good for Novels that Hasn't been taken by any Translator, or Novels that has been Dropped/Hiatus/M.I.A from Fan Translations. Official Novel Translation Pick Up Request should only go to the Official Translation site that translated the novel.

    Even so, you can only wait for QI to re-start their translation again, using MTL or whatever. If it wasn't a novel already picked up by Qidian then it's another matter, but since it already picked up by Qidian, if non-Qidian affiliated translators try to pick this up, in Worst Case they can be Sued under Official Rights for the Translation, bad case then they will just get DMCA then get an "offer" to join "QI"

    At best QI will restart this translation from the beginning. At worst QI will just continue butchering this promising story.

    Is it worth the hassle? Qidian may have dropped it now but if someone else picks it up and it becomes really popular then qidian will probably be a bitch and take it over again~

    I hear that fan transitions can apply to pick up dropped novels on Webnovels. And they can get 30% of the shares. The rest will go to the site and the author
