    Looking for: Proofreader
    Requirements:
    • Fluency or near-fluency in English
    • Extremely familiar with English grammar, capitalization, and punctuation rules
    Novel: Nobody Saved Me (无人救我双A)
    Genre: BL, ABO
    Warning: Tragic (but good thing though, it's short)
    Description:
    —♡—
    Nobody wants to spoil and pamper me. Nobody wants to marry me. Nobody is willing to save my life.
    —Lawrence Block, "Eight Million Ways to Die"

    I could finally be liberated.

    —♡—
    Novel Length: Approximately 13K words
    Additional Notes:
    • This is voluntary work.
    • I'm already done with the main story (10K words), I'm just translating the extras as of now.
    • I was driven to translate this novel because of the recent JJWXC fiasco, thus it was tragic and came from Chang Pei (another Chinese website that has danmei).
    Kindly communicate with me through Discord (redacted).

    Objection!
    angst is only good when it's in small amounts and there's sweetness to follow
    pure angst just makes me cry and not feel happy after that!

    As a bit of a masochist, pure angst causing one to cry and feel utterly sad is therapeutic!
