    Are you a new and inexperienced translator who would like to try your hand at translating and exploring different genres/projects but don't want to commit to a project yet?

    Or maybe you're an experienced translator who's getting tired of your project(s) and want something fresh but again, don't want to commit to whatever you try out.

    If so, consider joining ISO's new Novel Wars team! In our Discord server, we let our readers submit dropped novels every two weeks and the novels with the most votes in the end will be "picked up" by our team for translation. We will translate a limited amount of characters for the dropped novels (but make it clear that we're not picking them up for commitment) so they garner more readers and hopefully catches the attention of other translators. Of course, if you find yourself interested in one of the novels you worked on, you can pick it up yourself and commit too! You can also earn ad revenue from views.

    For more information, as well as the Discord invite, read this post.

    If you're interested, you will need to pass a translating test. Both Chinese and Japanese translators are accepted.
    If you're applying for Chinese, you'll need to answer "No, I don't" when asked "Do you know what you want to translate already?"

    wow this test make me doubt my Chinese skills as a native, you have words like 阴森寒冷 in short forms, and the author really like writing long sentence, as a non-native English speaker, its difficult to write long sentence without major errors.
    I would probably killed my editor lol. if your editor unfortunately work with me.

    Than after I search for the paragraph online, and I discovered all spacing have been removed, and with 1 chapter of actual chapters to get use to the name and other confusing things it's not that hard. In fact it's easily if compares novel with heavy history elements. what a cheat of feelings.

    there is a lot's of fails also, like. isn't this a must?

    Hi there, we got your answer through the forms. Could you please edit out your translation as to avoid possibly influencing other applicants? Thank you!
