    I found this translated novel translated online on google The Water Margin Outlaws of the Marsh by Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong over here http://uploads.worldlibrary.net/uploads/pdf/20130423230739the_outlaws_of_the_marsh_pdf.pdf

    I was trying to add it on NU, but the translator is not a group..... just " translated by sidney shapiro additional edits and revisions by collinson fair"
    So would I make a group under their names or would I make a group called WorldLibrary (the site is called WorldLibrary) before submitting?

    The other thing is the WorldLibrary site requires a log in...... But you can find their pdf's on google without logging in and read it without logging in, so idk if this goes against NU policy >.<"


    Edit: Oh wait I found it on amazon but so many versions https://www.amazon.com/Outlaws-Mars...34914387&sr=1-5&keywords=outlaws+of+the+marsh / https://www.amazon.com/Outlaws-Mars...4094/ref=mt_hardcover?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid= so I guess i'll use the publisher as group ?

    http://www.worldlibrary.net is literally an online library for published novels.
    We won't list that. :sweating_profusely:

    Edit: I've been slightly corrected. Technically speaking, it's actually okay to make a listing like this on Novel Updates, but the fact that the website in question requires a login (and a monthly subscription, to boot) means that this would have to be rejected regardless.

    btw, that book, Outlaws of the Marsh, is one of the best CN-EN translations out there. It totally captures the feel of reading the original. Plus it's a great novel! Way more fun than Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
