    I wanna read the raws of so many novels but I have no clue where to find them. If anyone knows a place and how to use it that would be great. (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this I had no clue where to ask this.)

    Then you just translate it using google translator....then prepare to have your mind blown open or blown away for ever...you will slowly feel your IQ dropping with each passing sentence. Good luck!

    Look for the associated name/original title in original language (Usually listed on the NU page or Translator's TOC) and search for it on google~~~

    Some translators put raw links in the TOC of their works. Try using those.
    And said by thepope, use google to search the jp/kr/cn title of the novel you want to read. Just use google translate on the page you searched.

    Just Google the Associated Names of your intended novel (that shows in its native language). It should be relatively easy to get.

    But-
    If you had to resort to reading raws to satiate your thirst, then try to learn the language they were in first (even just for a bit); a little precaution for your precious sanity.

    MTL is bad to a varying degree. Simply dumping the whole text to Google Translate and read the resulted strings should warrant a multiple dose of aspirin, if not accompanied by whole jug of coffee.

    If you're looking for a readable CN mtl, then lnmtl is the only site out there and they also provide the raw version alongside the mtl version.

    The last person that read an MTL without foreknowledge. Beware, this can be you. :p

    I just wish they included pinyin option there, then it would be perfect for me. Have to rely on perpera/kingsoft for that, but that doesn't work on my phone sadly. But it's still my goto site to read chinese stories. But I'm semi-fluent in Chinese (fluent in spoken, semi-fluent in written) so it's a very different experience for than someone who don't know Chinese.

    It's better on some things, but worse at others. Overall though, I personally think it's slightly better.
