    Hi! I am a new translator and I am looking suggestions for another novel to work on besides the one I am doing now.

    I would prefer if the raws were on Ridibooks because I can't seem to get access to purchase on Kakaopage (any help with understanding that process is appreciated!). I enjoy toxic romance novels (crazy ML alert) and I don't mind if it's a R18 novel either.❤️

    Which novels are ya'll interested in seeing translated next?

    It's a very funny and interesting novel that'll crack you up with FL's dedication on crossdressing as a man hahahaha. She even went as far as to wear a fake dxxx :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:.

    Hi Shy Heaux! I'm following your current translation, thank you for picking it up!
    That1Villainess seems to have dropped Marriage and the Sword which is so sad...I was so excited to have a novel that had smut AND a kickass FL. But it looks like it's on Kakaopage...I'll have to dig through my reading lists some more. :(

    Let me take some time to look through these and I will get back to you❤️❤️❤️

    Kakaopage customer service kills me. First they ask for an uncovered ID and then turn around and ask for a ID covering all my info except my birthday and name. I don't know what to do.

    Are you trying to access kakaopage r15? If yes, then you won't be able to open it without korean phone number. I emailed Kakao/Kakaopage last year and they said I can't access it unless I have korean number and said they will let foreigners to access it soon but I wonder when is that soon:cry:

    I wish they would allow foreigners to access their r15 stuff. My dad is korean and still has his phone but he won't let me use it because he thinks I'm trying to read porn. But he ain't completely wrong

    If you are interested in the project, I can help you with the raws. By the way I didn't know you were the one translating Eaten by the Tyrant I Raised. Thank you so much for picking that novel. Your translations are really good.:aww:

    Thank you so much! It's my first time doing translations so your compliment means alot! I have a few more chapters to translate for Eaten By the Tyrant I Raised so I can keep up with daily chapter releases and then I promise I will sit down and read the first couple of chapters of the novel you recommended.

    How about this one? It's a novel from the author who wrote "Seduce The Villain's Father" and "I Raised A Black Dragon". I think this got dropped by the translator since they haven't posted any updates since April.

    This is really a breath of fresh of air from the usual stories about reincarnation and villainess tropes. The mystery vibes this novel is radiating is quite compelling ngl. I'm really curious who her sponsor is. It reminded me of "Daddy Long Legs" for some reason.


    And also this one, if you're interested in contemporary romance with time travel as its theme. It got it's own manhwa adaptation recently but no recent updates after the the tled chapter 1.

    A review about this novel from Novel Updates mentioned that

    This is the most accurate example of the "perfect Korean romance"

    It's a short novel but I'm interested to know more about this because I think this got dropped by the translator as well.

    Thank you for these recommendations! After checking Rain of Snow's forum, I'm not sure if The best of tomorrow has been dropped yet, but I will contact them and ask. I haven't read any good Korean contemporary novels as of yet but the reviews and ratings on Ridi are very promising. If it's truly been dropped, I would like to pick it up as side project with 1-2 chapters a week. I really like Dear Anonymous Sponsor as a side project as well.

    Could you send me a message? I can't message you because your profile is private for me.
