    I will use a process of elimination to reduce the candidates to two novels and start wikis for both. I will use the activity to decide which novel to pick up.
    Cheers!

    I prioritize two things

    1 Short Chapters : So readers can't complain about slow releases
    2 Ease of Translating : So I can have other translators work on it, if the main one is unavailable

    A focus on realistic goals and expectations

    Chinese translator is back from vacation. Yippie!
    Recruited a couple of Korean translators. Looking for series to give them to work on

    Do you still do JP novels? https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/dai-densetsu-no-yuusha-no-densetsu.68903/

    If not I'll second Heaven Awakening Path. It had a promising start, though there's plenty of room for it to go downhill.
