Japanese Looking for novel to translate

Good day! Our translation group is currently looking for Japanese novels with war- and adventure-laden plot. We are more than glad to pick up a project that has been in hiatus or completely untranslated. Please do suggest novels that you would like for us to translate in our debut. Thanks!

 

Re:Monster

 

Youjo Senki

 

I think this series might be something you are looking for also there has not been an update in nearly 6 months. Iirc there are conflicts between various groups I’m not sure about large scale wars though.

Has five more volumes left that need to be translated until it is completed.

 

I concur

 

I'd like The Laid-back Life in Another World of the Ex-Hero to get picked up but I doubt it fits your war/adventure criteria.

 

Seikai no Senki

 

I would highly recommend the light novels for the anime Alderamin On the Sky. It was an awesome anime from a few years ago with a strategic genius as the MC who's number one tenet was the pursuit of laziness, lol. The other characters were all equally interesting from his best friend the dual sword wielding beautiful heiress of the most revered military family in the Empire, to the first sniper to ever exist in that world, to the slightly younger but incredibly ambitious 3rd princess. Here is the link for the translation request in this forum with all of the information on it, https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/nejimaki-seirei-senki-tenkyou-no-alderamin.39905/
and here is the NU link,

And just to reiterate, I am personally willing to pledge $50/month to whoever picks this up with volume 4, perhaps more if the speed is really fast. This is solely as support and appreciation for the teams hard work.

 

The Shaman that Can’t Become a Hero (Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai)

 

I'm unnerved of the plot of Re:Monster, much more of the Re:Translation Group who appear to be inactive but claim to be working on their projects.

That's quite a legal fanfare I would have to go through, considering that's Yen Press.

Interested, but I've dug up for the raws to no avail. If you could provide, I would be more than glad to translate them.

It would be troubling if the translator hasn't announced any intention of dropping the project. I'm afraid I can't, for now.

That's challenging to recommend, per se.

I have actually been planning to translate Alderamin together with Madan no Ou to Vanadis, with the latter being too risky for me, but I'm afraid the raws in jCafe aren't text docs. If someone is kind enough to provide the raws, I'm willing to offer free translation for the novel.

I hate concept-fillers in stories, but if Lion Mask would concede, I might consider continuing the project.

 

Good luck. I had a similar offer by a reader for a novel before. It didn't end well haha

 

I know it is gonna be super hard, but I will still recommend in the hope that someone translates it, and translates it well coz it deserves a great translation.
At the end i still recommend and/or ask you to translate a scifi series as their is an awful lack of them on nu.
If you can wait a day before making the decision than I will read some more teasers/ dropped stories and recommend the gems present.
Edit : +1 to alderamin

 

other novels with war- /adventure-laden plot and all of them have a big fanbase.

Isekai Tensei Soudouki

Madan no Ou to Vanadis

You might be able to get the raws for shinmai maou from on of the previous translator you can probably contact them and see if they can get them for you https://www.zxzxzx.info/latest-updates-2018/

 

He stopped translating it. Check this post.

 

I'm still waiting for the completion of one my originally favorite LNs, https://www.novelupdates.com/series/hyouketsu-kyoukai-no-eden/

Not exactly a traditional war plot, but there are definitely war (against the corrupted beings and other human factions) and adventure elements in it.

 

Gonna work on it. I thought Baka-Tsuki was active in translating the project. Still working on the raws.

Contacted the translator, it seems he also doesn't have the raws.

 

I'm gonna dig the raws in Syosetu a few weeks later. I won't get easily used to those story concepts enclosed in Japanese brackets, I find them cringeworthy. However, I'm hooked by the plot of prodigious struggle.

 

My second recommendation, SOLARIS the abyssal. Just 2 volumes so easier to complete than most projects.

 

Have fun getting DMCA.
