    Hello! I'm Xian and currently looking for people who would like to try their hands on translating or those who would like to help. [THIS WILL BE A PAID JOB.]

    I wish to increase my updating pace for the novel, After the Global Evolution, I Stand on Top of the Food Chain, however, due to my heavy college workload, I cannot create a consistent update schedule. Therefore, I thought that maybe I could form a team dedicated to translating this amazing novel. Given this, there are only several requirements:
    • passionate
    • fluent/near fluency in the English language
    • able to produce a good translation from its raw to English through human translation or use of multiple machine translators
    • able to work collaboratively in a team
    • a bit of experience due to Chinese slangs and references to games/novels/phenomenon present in the novel (but we have a group wherein you can ask anytime)
    • have at least basic skills in using Google Drive and its features (e.g. Google Docs, Google Sheet)
    We have an editor. Also, I'm still the one managing the whole translation process (checking accuracy, consistency, etc.), so if ever you're unsure or still adapting on how to do it, you can ask me and the lovely group I'm in.

    Novel's additional details:
    Language: Chinese
    Genre: BL, apocalypse, system
    Chapter length: 2.5-3K words per chapter
    Target number of update per week: 1 chapter per translator

    Benefits:
    • A kind team (that's me and my editor! Hahaha!)
    • In terms of payment, it's still under discussion. However, I can assure that there is going to be pay and I'm also very open in regards to discussion about fair share of ad revenue, or I can also give one-time payment.
      I'm also just a poor translator who's inlove with this novel and thus asking for assistance to share the beauty of it (while still also part of the process). *crying emoticon*

    It's almost 3AM and I'm not sure if I have provided all the necessary details. If you have any question, just ask.

    You can contact me thru Discord: KrisXian#7339.
