    Rules 1: Ignore the trolls.
    Rule 2: Don't ask for a mobile app. I can't afford it especially the maintenance cost.
    Rule 3: Wujigege is super awesome:blob_sunglasses:
    Rule 4 : Limited to Japanese novels
    Rule 5: No light novels please only webnovels
    Rule 6: No Alpapolis novels
    Rule 7 : No smut or BL or Yaoi

    I focus on financially viable novels but a middle ground can be reached. What novels specifically or what genres do you want to see translated?
    Mystery, Horror, and Sci-fi are the usual suspects.
    Your feedback is very much appreciated.
    Cheers!


    I think I didn't make myself clear.
    I apologize. It just means novels with a lot of readers.
    Some novels while critically acclaimed are too niche to garner a following.
    Anyway, the point of this thread is that I can now translate unpopular novels.

    Based on Suggestions, I made a poll:
    Vote for Japanese Novels Here
    Vote for Chinese Action Novels Here
    I will add to the poll as I receive more suggestions.

    Cheers!

    I cant see this thread being constructive, partly because "financially viable" is so vague.

    There are a lot of unfinished novels that are discontinued and should definitely get pick up if you can. Like Sha Qing or DD2.5 god realm or Reincarnation of a superstar or Male god is chasing after my brother

    I dont think any of the novels you mentioned are Japanese lol
    Light novel so pass

    The raws should not be available. I also dont translate Alphapolis novels since you have to pay for their novels. Unlike Syosetu when you can easily avoid legal responsibility

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/strangers-handbook/ is a pretty good series that I really enjoyed before the first translator stopped. The translators site has since gone down, but I really enjoyed it while it was up. The genre is mostly comedy, via various misunderstandings in the novel

    It end with tragedy, right?
    One of the side stories/interludes gave me that feel.
    The one about the MC who write the handbook and some people saying they were completely indebted to him for their entire lives.

    I am not quite sure about the ending, but
    yes it is about the MC who is writing a handbook for any other people that changed worlds. I imagine that there were some people that were indebted to him, but I am not clear at all on the specifics

    Good to know!
    Thanks. I had avoided to read volume/arc 2 because the possible tragedy ending.
    If you weren't sure about it, then I think it's safe to continue.
    Again, thank you.
    I really love that series.
