    Aw I feel like we have a GL novel shortage. It's all either genderbender or has only 10 chapters...

    Lmao like half of the yuri novels on this site has less than 15 chapters bruh this is sad

    We need more yuri! Compared to our yaoi brethren we only have 7 pages total compared to their 33 pages of novels!

    Finding any raws of any of this is pretty difficult though; I looked up some of the titles and these are all on ridi, which are just paid only outside of the initial couple chapters. Kakao has a couple, but they all require age verification which means you need a Korean phone number. If there's a source for free Korean raws, I can see most translators willing to take on the work. Until then, I'd say tough luck, unfortunately.

    Ohhhhh, these all look really interesting. Is the MTL for these reliable?? I've been doing MTL for some Chinese yuri recently but I haven't tried with any Korean GL.

    Believe it or not, Korean GL novels are as rare as they come and even rarer than BL. The domestic community of readers who consume GL novels in Korea are slim. And the reason why you’ll find no Korean GL novels translated simply has to do with the translator’s preference.
