Who are you guys?⌄
We’re a group of book lovers who enjoy reading novels from other languages and wanted to share them with more people. We’re not a company, just fans doing what we love.
Why do you translate books?⌄
Because we love stories! There are so many amazing novels that never make it into English, and we want to help more people enjoy them.
Are your translations official?⌄
No, we’re a fan translation group. Our goal is to share stories with more readers, not replace official translations. If a series gets officially licensed in English, we encourage you to support it.
How often do you release new chapters?⌄
It depends on the project and everyone’s schedules. We’re all volunteers, so releases can vary, but we try to keep things steady.
Can I help out with translations?⌄
Absolutely! We’re always happy to welcome new translators, editors, proofreaders, or even people who just want to give feedback. Building a community around these stories is part of the fun.
Do I need to know the original language to help?⌄
Not always. Translators need language skills, but editors, proofreaders, and readers who provide feedback don’t. If you’re passionate about stories, there’s probably a place for you here.
How do I join your community?⌄
We’ll usually share ways to get in touch, like Discord, email. Just hop in and say hi!
Do you make money from this?⌄
Right now, barely. This is still very much a passion project, but with the support of readers we hope one day it can grow enough to cover costs and maybe even become a full-time focus.
What kinds of novels do you translate?⌄
Mostly Eastern novels along the genres of wuxia, fantasy, romance, adventure, slice-of-life, and more. If it’s fun and we enjoy reading it, we might translate it.
Why are there only certain genres and tags ? Is there plan to add more ?⌄
These are the genres and tags currently in use at novelupdates, which is a popular place for translators to share their works. And we plan to use these genres and tags for our translations as well. We may add more genres and tags in the future, but for now we are focusing on these classifications to keep things simple and organized.
Why read fan translations instead of waiting for official ones?⌄
Sometimes official translations never come, or take years. We just want to share the joy of these stories now so more people can experience them sooner.
