    I'd like to submit this one.. Also if you do decide to pick this up, and you're willing to accept a machine translator, I can apply to be a secondary translator for this novel. (I have experience machine translating, what I previously did was, translate via a machine translator, submit it to the main translator which has japanese proficiency, he'll then check if my translation was true to the source material. Once it is, it gets passed to editor.)


    Oh, by the way the novel is about a person that gets isekai'd to a game world. This game world is a famous "kusoge(shit game)" filled with bugs. He then takes advantage of these bugs in this world. translation for it has been stopped for quite some time now. I dunno what the rules are for considering if a novel is "dropped" or not, but if this is possible I'd really want this to be picked up. Thank you.

    Vote +1 for Ore-no-osananajimi-wa-joshikousei-de-yuusha, the female lead is just too crazy!!

    Another novels worth to be mentioned.
    Yuusha Party no Kawaii Ko ga Ita no de, Kokuhaku Shite Mita
    Last release in July, 2018.
    Reincarnator is the most powerful demon in the Maouu's castle but ends confessing to the priestess of the hero party. The castle is wrecked. His days of adventuring and shenaningans begin!
    This one reminded me a lot Konosuba from the comedy and seriousness double pace.
    [​IMG]

    Okitara 20nen Nandesukedo! Akuyaku Reijo no Sono Ato no Sono Ato
    Last release in February, 2019.
    Female protagonist wakes up 20 years after being poisoned, remembers her past life and OPness, becomes jury, judge and executioner on the now wrecked kingdom.
    Very straightforward and satisfacting.

    As long as it isn't MTL, then:

    Name:
    Raw Link:
    http://ncode.syosetu.com/n4269cp
    NU Link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/tensei-shoujo-no-rirekisho/
    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    1) It is easy to translate (even Google Translate can get 80-90% of it right, though this deserves a real translation)
    2) It's already vetted, has a reader base and has an NU rating of 4.1
    3) It is pretty unique for a reincarnation novel
    4) It has over 150 chapters and steady releases
    5) MC uses her brain instead of relying on OP powers, isn't a villanese or a fallen noble or duke's daughter but is a normal commoner. And it isn't one of those where men rescue her left and right either. The first person who "might" become a romantic interest in the future, gets beaten up by her in a fair duel twice. Neither does she go around inventing guns or the like. She sticks to the basics and yes she even messes up a few times

    Description:

    A smart, athletic, who handles anything perfectly and unequalled beautiful girl, dies young due to a car accident.

    And now, while possessing the memories of her previous life, she reincarnated in a fantasy-ish different world with swords and magic!

    All lives were dependant of magicians, however, their numbers decreased every year due to the magic power (mana) scattered around the world running out, thus the reliance on magic for living was coming to an end.

    A story that will lead to the life of a girl relying the knowledge of her previous life, as she proposes a way to live even without the use of magic while seeking for what it is, and aiming for a wealthier life.

    Isn't that infamous novel for its very disappointing background characters? Even some reviews point at the disparity between the protagonist and the mindsetting of the world.

    Not sure what you mean? I don't see much wrong with the background characters.

    There is an issue with the mindset of the MC and the world at large which is to be expected since its an isekai. The MC is not the one lacking common sense, but neither is the world around them. Their culture is simply different. And the MC has to adapt around it. Part of the reason the culture is the way it is is due to what happened in the past which we learn about little by little as the story progresses.

    I mean look at it this way, a score of 4.1 is higher than most isekai get.

    If you are falling for the negative reviews of people who haven't read far, read my review that addresses everything.(if you don't mind spoilers)

    I think second life got a cease from the actual author or publisher. I've been reading the manwha instead.

    Korean novels are essentially government funded soft propaganda.
    There is zero competition.
    Unless you are going to choose free to read novels, most novels are available on Munpia.
    They don't seem to have any exclusivity agreements or competition.
    I don't it's even profitable.
    The government subsidizes them I believe. Lezhin is subsidized and got sued for not paying the authors and comic artists
