Looking for Work KR BL Novel

I've tried looking on my own for a BL novel to translate, but they are surprisingly hard to find in Korean, and the ones I have found are all... bad endings or not good endings, as in not horrible, but not really happy either. So if any fellow BL lovers out there could rec a Korean BL novel to translate, I'd be grateful!

Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Happy ending!!! Most important!!!
2. 1v1
3. MC is bottom, ML is top
4. Smart/intelligent MC
5. Devoted love interests
6. No excess drama (this is the hardest one... Koreans love their drama, even in BL apparently)

Preferably not ancient/old times as that's a bit of a pain to translate, unless it's a really happy story. Thanks again!

 

Do you have discord? We have a group with a translator who does Korean novels and she could probably help you find something.

 

Haha best of luck to you

Maybe you could pick up this one?

I honestly don't know enough about the novel to say if it fits your requirements tho, orz

 

I do have a discord: aimi#3571

 

Thank you! ^^

 

Thank you for the rec! Sadly, it has a tragedy tag Not sure if it's an actual tragedy... and it did sound interesting... I'll check it out and see what the ending is like

 

I hope it does end in a HE, thanks for taking a look!

 

Maybe find the novel version of Lezhin comics or Line Webtoons

 

I do use Naver for Korean web-toons and web-novels, but the trouble is finding BL. I wish there was a Korean equivalent of danmeila At least there is danmeila and MTL?

 

So about Black Butterfly... I read the ending. It was a vague-ish ending? Not tragedy thank goodness, but not perfect happy rainbows everywhere. Considering the story, the ending does seem to fit well, but is a little open-ended. From a brief glance, the story was filled with a little bit more drama than I want at the moment (I'm in a slice-of-life mood at the moment ). Also, it looks like it's only temporarily dropped by the original translator? I don't want to poach... but it has been 6 months since they last updated anything too

 

If you're considering it I guess you could try to contact the previous translator, tho they might still be prioritizing Kill The Lights even after they come back, and it HAS been over a year since the last update for Black Butterfly technically...
If you end up translating another novel tho, it was nice to know Black Butterfly doesn't end in tragedy!

 

All the best! We eagerly await such a book to be translated!!

 

Hi! I am currently looking for a Korean > English translator to help on an upcoming discussion thread over on the r/boyslove subReddit. The thread will be on translation and subbing of bl books, comics, and (primarily) shows, focusing on explaining any confusing moments of translation or cultural background that the subs miss out on. If you are at all interested, I would love to chat more! Thank you!
