Does anyone have any untranslated or previously dropped short Korean novel that you want to see getting translated? Any genre (except straight smut, harem or reverse harem) is ok but mostly looking for BL. Only short novels with good storylines please.

Downpour or Trace of the Wonder! I read the webtoons and they're amazing (not sure if Trace of the Wonder counts as short though...) P.S. I made a thread for Downpour: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/downpour-cloudburst-korean-bl.145670/ Hopefully it gets translated at some point!
Thanks to both of you for the recommendations but... These are not short novels Each of the volumes have over 10,000 words so... I was looking for something more shorter with few chapters...
bandokkaebi is only 1 volume though hahaha most korean novels dont get much shorter than that unfortunately...
I tried to get 1 volume with less than 10.000 words: https://ridibooks.com/books/4287000268 https://ridibooks.com/books/173003836 https://ridibooks.com/books/945062643 Korean novels tend to be long, though, so it's difficult to find short ones.
i recently read this BL novel which is only 4.1k words long lolol https://ridibooks.com/books/1962098377?_rdt_sid=library-detail&_rdt_idx=0 cough. It's kinda funny xD. Our protagonist meets a person at a gay bar, and gets all his organs stolen and killed. When he wakes up he finds out he's a doctor in ancient times. It's a doctor x emperor one shot. This piece is only 1 volume, 12.5k. There is an extra fan service chapter, but I didn't read it xD. I always skip them. https://ridibooks.com/books/3892000001?_rdt_sid=library-detail&_rdt_idx=0 I had read this without much expectation, but I was very surprised how this type of novel can be fluff haha. Our protagonist is a sadist, and is obsessed with a certain BL tragedy sm novel. He read it so many times, and is in love with the main lead. When he finds himself awake as the bottom, instead of looking at everything negatively, he takes everything with happiness haha. I don't know how to explain.... but it's a classic xD This author: 한유담 https://ridibooks.com/author/98383 mainly writes one shot compilation BL novels. Each novel has a theme like nobles, future, omegaverse, etc. You can have a peek. there is another one.... which is kinda a crack plot but somehow I read it and enjoyed it haha. The teaser summary had me really curious how someone can imagine a plot like this. it's about a guy who lost his pp... which can turn into a dil...do... cough. and someone else found it.... and that is how the story starts haha. about 9k words total. each volume has around 1~2k words. It's so hilarious..... https://ridibooks.com/books/1668001088?_rdt_sid=library-detail&_rdt_idx=0 if you want really good plot BL... I know a handful. But they are all long.... but if you don't mind long stories, which short chapters then I'll have a peek in my library for some more recs xD
I recommend <How To Love A Warrior> ! It's warm yet sad story. By the way, it's rofan and no BL. FL & ML both went back in time. From my understanding, whenever ML die everyday, he goes back in time but in FL's POV, nothing changed until she died and goes back in time with ML.
Yes yes I don't mind long novels with short chapters! You can recommend them too and thank you for all the other recommendations!! Sounds interesting. I will take a look at it. Thank you!! Yeah it is hard to find. But thanks for the recommendations!!
