I'd have to dig for it - but there was another forum thread about fan translations and if they are a 'net good' or not...

Are you thinking of this one, perchance? (I assume it's come up more than once, though.)

indeed - 2019/2020 about fan translations - I think the market has changed even since then

Web Novel is different from the Light Novel.

Changes had been made going from WN to LN.

For example, , vol 9-10 are LN original and doesn't exist in the WN.

Ok, thanks.
I read on another topic that JNC doesn't translate WN but only LN (at least for now), so I wasn't sure what it meant.

@georgemto said in Do you want to try read an Chinese Novels:

@jon-mitchell That $35 price is for the cost of the entire series I think. I read SCOG back when it was still translating, so such an option didn't exist. Amazon is asking $5 per volume, with 3 currently listed. According to another post on wuxiaworld, there will be at least 5 volumes.

Which then would make more sense to buy them individually. 5 books for 5 each makes 25. So 35 would be a markup.

@lily-garden No worries! I love being able to share it too, especially since it may not be published.

Anyway, on my nth read of this I just realized that the timeline between Paul pov and Simeon pov are a bit wonky. After the city chase, it's 2 days until Paul meet Marielle again, then after that Paul went to get Milene's approval to publish, and do a whole lot of things until the book is ready to sell. It probably would take weeks. I don't believe it took that long for Poisson to meet Simeon again and laugh at him about the "mission", lol.

Love what a good kid Marielle is. This prequel is reinforcing that her self-deprecation isn't how people would see her objectively though. From the pov of a commoner, she still counts as rich and privileged. And her grandfather being the chancellor in a university where Simeon's father probably works at means her social connection to the Flauberts is not as distant as she thought.

@TeoPadilla Item 3 was the big one for me.

@Florence-Carsula - I realize this is a really old post, but it intrigued me. Does 'love triangle' mean any arrangement of three (or more) people?

A loves B, C love B, B loves A

A loves B & C, B loves A & C, C loves A & B

A loves C, B loves C, C is superdense and doesn't realize that anyone loves C

Or is it supposed to reference only circular arrangements:

volume 2 is up
kindle version is up on Amazon, of direct from tentai

Chapter 17 Up! https://tapas.io/episode/1864072

I'm playing around with writing a new web novel using this technology. Trying to find the best way to use the tool is pretty interesting. Translating a post to Japanese is taking about 3 hours right now... but that is mostly me searching for optimal translation rather than dumping it in and just posting whatever comes out.

@shrike_al said in The Honeyfeed Website:

Curious about these guys. Where the hell did they come from?

looks like to English arm of Qdopp. A Japanese site for posting self written works, fan fiction, forums about anime/LN/Manga etc.

@saffire
Going Back and Forth Between Earth and The Other World with Space Time Magic

That is the title.

I've read the WN up to ch 17 which got a little difficult (weird) to read. I've been reading the LN and am currently in the middle of vol 9. I prefer how the MC meets with Zena in the WN, but the LN version is ok. As for Sera, either one works for me since the main parts of the arc are pretty similar. Can't wait until they get to labyrinth city. I can appreciate the differences between the WN and LN. The are similar, but different enough that I don't get too bored reading both.

@rahul-balaggan thanks for quick and clean answer. You are a fine man , sir.

@hyferzftw someone's hurt?
