    Im planning to translate a filipino novel. Im trying to find one but i cant seem to see any novels for my tastes.

    Looking for a Fantasy or sci-fi or maybe a slice of life with plenty of chapters.

    Most of the novels that you are looking for are already in English. I once read something written by a Flip in wattpad. A decent litrpg/vrmmo

    . . . . how about looking for something much older than what you can find in the web. . .
    i remember there was a novel written by a prisoner sometime ago, well if you are looking for a quick hit and buck . . . that will be hard for most of the writters are english fluent writters .
