    A bunch of sheep with no critical thinking skills.

    Anyway, a translator of mine has been missing since the COVID-19 crisis started.
    Since you are all such good people, keep him/her in your prayers.

    Cheers!

    I remember back in 2018 I help you setup PWA for your site with my other account.
    Have you already put it on play store?

    If you have $25 to spare around you can try to publish it and see whether it can pass google play store review process.
    Get your .apk file here:

    I can cover the cost and you publish it. We can talk more about this via email.
    I didn't recall that it was you. My website was very slow back then(web hosting issues).
    PWA saved me pretty much. I thought you just recommended them. I didn't know you actually made it
    Thanks a lot for that.

    All I see is a group of people who are elitist
    • The translator group- the noble class
    • The reader group- the commoner class
    They just feel threatened when a commoner rises to join the noble class.
    I remember when I joined the translator discord back in 2017 or so.
    I got a lot of welcome as a new translator.
    But when I pointed out that I would be hiring translators since I only speak English, I got crickets.
    The smear campaign began even before I launched my website.

    No one knows how my site works. I keep it private.
    Calling my business model suspicious I would accept but shady when they have no idea how it works is just stupid.

    Funny story: since my website focuses more on Japanese novels, I contacted a translating agency that was to translate X number of chapters for me per month for about $3,000.
    Top quality and fast releases
    This was before I learnt that emulating large websites was a dumb idea. I almost went forward with it until I was told that they do work for Kadokawa and even with webnovels from Syosetu they cannot translate the works of a fellow client.
    I was saddened at the time but I dodged a bullet. Using ad revenue since I had no Patreon at the time. I would never have recouped the cost.
    Webnovel.com could offer such a contract consistently but even if I could offer it once it would have zero benefits.
    Anyway, small websites should stop trying to emulate larger websites. It is a recipe for failure.
    Cheers!

    P.S. I hope I get to 20,000 posts soon. I will run out of stories to rehash lol.
    Also, I am sure many translators use ghostwriters ghost-translators especially when they cannot meet their deadlines. The hypocrisy really stinks in this thread

    I don't really want to commit working with anyone right now. But I can make suggestions and helps if it's only a few performance fix. You can invite me to your WP as a team to let me look at your code if you want, though, after auditing your site just now, I doubt I can help you much to get into Play Store. Your Lighthouse perf score is about 20~ (edit: it's 40~, actually, I put the wrong link before), while Play Store would require you to make it at least 80 or above.

    You can check it yourself here:
    https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https://www.asianhobbyist.com

    Your server performance is fine if the metric First Contentful Paint is showing green color. Most of the problems that should be solved are in the frontend, mainly because third-party scripts and oversized images.

    There's nothing I can help you for third-party scripts, unless you make sacrifice and let go some of ads, I doubt you can achieve minimum performance score required to enter Play Store. But at least, I can help with anything else that can be quickly fixed.

    For images, since you already using Jetpack plugin, you can actually make it smaller by adding a few characters by the end of the image urls.
    Oversized image:
    https://i2.wp.com/cdn.novelupdates.com/images/2018/11/91j3jkChDFL._AC_SL1500_.jpg
    Fixed size image (change the w=74 to the real width displayed on your pages):
    https://i2.wp.com/cdn.novelupdates.com/images/2018/11/91j3jkChDFL._AC_SL1500_.jpg?w=74

    You can improve images performance further by making it lazy load, add tag loading="lazy" to your images, something like this:
    Code:
    <img src="..." alt="..." />
    
    to
    Code:
    <img src="..." alt="..." loading="lazy" />
    
    I was using disqus account with different name back then. I thought I said I was the one to recommend you PWA back then, but apparently I didn't.

    Also, looking at your site again, I think PWA actually can be a lot faster. I did on my PWA to actually using only cached page as much as possible, and it loads pages instantly. But to make the most out of it there should be custom tinkering and forethought strategies, which can't be done by WordPress plugins that serves many types of websites.

    And the Wuji-gege class where he looks down on all of them lol. Jackass.

    Because unlike you, they know how to keep their translators. And I do recall you criticizing translator's work very badly in some of your shit rantposts. So now you're telling us you are judging their work without even being able to replicate their understanding and thought process of the language? And I thought my opinion of you could not get any lower. You're an "editor" that can't even read the original text!

    20,000 posts. Some of them might not even stink of your elitist "look down on others" attitude and trash talk. Some.
    Totally agree on the last line. Just the subject might not have been who you were thinking of.

    Call me a liar for something on this thread and say I am correct in this one:
    Ads 101: Traffic Does Not Equal Ad Revenue

    You guys need to be consistent

    Am I the only one weirded out by the fact that I am being stalked by a celebrity?
    I am pretty sure that the founder of WW was on TV even if it was Internet TV.
    So that makes him a celebrity

    I had always dreamed of being stalked by a celebrity. I wouldn't mind if it was Fan Bingbing.
    [​IMG]
    Although, I am more of a Li Bingbing fan
    upload_2020-8-4_20-23-11.jpeg

    But this is weird. Fantasy never matches reality. I am pretty sure I did not mention the founder of WW or WW in all my threads that keep getting replies from the founder of WW. It is creepy and uncomfortable.

    Well... it if it was Liu Yifei I definitely would not be complaining.
    She can stalk me any time :blobnosebleed:

    P.S. I was told that this thread won't be locked so I am making use of it

    Are you high? This thread is literally about the founder of WW :ROFLMAO:. And you get replies on some places because your threads are full of bullshit that would deceive people trying to get into the industry. In the thread you quoted, you were trying to conflate ISO and Wuxiaworld using Google Analytic pageviews to calculate how to pay translators, with GA being an accurate judge for revenue - which no one was claiming. Nice attempt at a strawman.

    What a sad little boy. He makes five threads in response to me calling him out on advertising nonsense in the Centinni thread, then whines that I am stalking him when I respond. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Classic example of someone who can dish it out but can't take it.

    Btw, everyone still has $5000 up for grabs if anyone can show Wuji wasn't lying about saying I told him to reveal his translators.

    Just realized that this was a rant thread. Hope you got it out of your system, @Wujigege.

    I wish both you and Ren can reconcile, but dreams rarely come true.

    I enjoyed the thread a lot, and am glad that both sides never stooped too low in their replies. :blobpopcorn:

    Oh hey! Justabot became a blob! :justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart::justabotheart:

    If they can stop stalking my threads then I would be grateful.
    I know I am too handsome and my motokare is in full force but I am not into dudes.
    They should take a hint but I doubt it. I am Unubore irresistible :blob_sunglasses:
    Since they are deluded enough to think they can control another human being
    It sort of feels like I am talking to myself since I have most of the people here on my ignore list.

    Thinking on it, I get it
    If you are from a country were minorities are suppressed you would think it is normal to force-feed your standards on others.
    It is a pathetic excuse but it certainly explains this situation perfectly.
    Doesn't make you guys any less idiotic but I get it.
    You are the victims of your environment.
    Cheers!

    LOL. Don't worry about him, he's just moved past the first stage (denial) and is somewhere between the second and third stages (anger/bargaining). Sad, sad little man.

    It probably got sidetracked but I should state the purpose of this thread:
    The owner of WW, please stop replying to my threads or posts.
    You give me the creeps!

    Cheers!

    I thought the purpose of this thread was to rant about me? Are you seriously asking me to not respond in a thread lying about me and insulting me? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Tell you what. Admit that you lied and apologize, and I'll let you off the hook and let you go back to your usual BS, so long as you keep my friends and I out of your lying mouth in the future. Alternately, show that you told the truth and that I did in fact tell you to 'reveal your translators', and you'll get a cool $5000! Win win. What do you say?

    Nothing else will work. Not insults, not rants, not attempts at misdirection, not begging for your thread to be shut down, and not quasi-sexual comments about how it must be because of how 'attractive' you are (LOL!!!). An apology for lying or proving you aren't a liar. Take your pick. I got all day, week, month, and year, kiddo.
