    Japanese Name: トカゲといっしょ

    Publisher: Syosetsu

    Raws: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5023bq/

    Description:

    One day, while job hunting, Shigeru was mysteriously teleported to another world. Here, he came upon a magic lizard "Basil", born from an egg he accidentally picked up, and formed a bond with it. For months he continued surviving on his own in the wilderness, unable to understand the local language or find anyone willing to communicate with him.

    When at last he thought he had found someone he could talk to, it turned out to be a group of dog-headed monsters who were kidnapping and raping human and elven women.

    Fight monsters with lizards!

    Why It Should Get Picked Up:

    The premise and protagonist are a bit odd, but it has this fun vibe of adventure / discovery as the MC explores this new world, meets people, fights with his lizard taming ability and even does a little village development.

    From the Japanese reviews it does a good job of conveying the mystery of another world and the MC acts like a mature, thoughtful man and not an insecure NEET or horny teenager like many typical Isekai protagonists.

    Why would they even refuse?

    There can be many reasons but the staff didn't respond to me probably it was rejected . I will personally re edit the first Chapter and send for re approval while Luffy(Our newest TL has already translated 2 chapters he will post them after we get approval.

    I mean, crappy MTLs get uploaded on Novelupdates all the time; yours was fairly good.

    If they're refusing to even let you create a page for the series the translation can't be the issue. Do they have a problem with the title? (Unfortunately that's the official title)

    Well they aren't responding I also don't know the reason. Ya novels with MTL do get verified. How they get accepted and our don't only the mods can answer that. I can only improve the TL quality.

    Because it was pure MTL. The only reason his current chapters are approved is because he actually edited them instead of shoving us with pure MTL that has cosmetic editings.
    NU staffs are not your editors. We are not always available to respond and we are more than less motivated to respond when someone spam us with the same request.

    If your projects are rejected, then there's a problem with it. We're not obligated to tell you what it is when the answers are going to be the same thing as what the other staffs had told you. We are not your editors.

    I get you , it's just that I didn't know about things . I don't know if the series was rejected or not ( it became obvious after a day when it didn't got approved) i just wanted to ask if you are kind enough to answer, Can we try for a resubmison after re editing the chapter and if the series name ( With Lizards) has anything to do with it being rejected.

    I don't think the TL quality was any worse than their 4 other series that got approved but thanks for taking the time to reply here. I hope you'll reconsider it if they resubmit the chapter.

    As we have mentioned before, unedited and barely edited MTL aren't accepted. That was our answer and it is still our answer. If your releases are rejected then there's fault with it. We are not your editor. We are not going to teach you how to edit your translations nor are we obligated to notify you of the rejections. You may discuss it with others but I better not see you trying to misled people about us again when we (or one of us) already told you the reasons your submissions are rejected.

    Install Google Chrome, open the raw link you posted above, have fun reading. Barely any difference.
    Why would we let a page without any approved translations be created? NU is a directory for translations, not novels. If you have a problem with any crappy MTL listed on NU, make a thread about it and provide proof comparing it to MTL results.

    Because of the TL being rejected, for the time being this is not picked up and is still awaiting a translator.

    Can I ask why I have a hard time going onto your website. Every time i do I get redirected to a page asking if I am a robot or not and to hit allow but doing so sends all kinds of red flags on my computer that forces me to restart my computer and run a scan.
