What is NovelTranslations for?

  • The main purpose of this subreddit is to be a place to have discussions, and ask questions about things related to translated or written webnovels. If your post doesn't directly have anything to do with those two categories, it could possibly get removed. Misleading or clickbait titles, troll posts, or shitposts are subject to removal. Use the filters if you don't want to see a certain kind of post. If you are unsure whether or not your post will get removed, please message the mods and we will try to answer as soon as possible.

Subreddit Rules

1. Discussion is the goal - All posts must be directly novel related, informative, and discussion focused. This can be about a scene from a web novel you particularly liked/disliked, the novel as a whole, or issues related to the community.

2. Recommendation Requests - Requests for personalized recommendations or suggestions are not allowed. Post instead to our Weekly Recommendation Thread (stickied at the top of the 'HOT' page and also accessible through the subreddit's nav menu or through the buttons on the sidebar widget )

Posts asking users to list their favorite/the best book of a genre, style, etc that don't include an answer and why in the body will be assumed to be recommendation requests and removed.

3. Don't be an asshole - We understand that many of you are angry about your generally pathetic lives. Do not bring that into the subreddit or the community. Do not enter a discussion with the intent to "prove" that you are the superior being. None of you are. Just be chill.

4. Toxic Reader Behavior - The wonderful web novels that we talk about and share with each other here are translated and produced through the hard work of REAL PEOPLE. The translators and editors who work on these novels spend hours of the their free time translating these novels for you guys. Do not be assholes, or we won't have any novels to read.

Comments like: "Translation too slow" when chapters release several times a week or "I only read after 200+ chapters" will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.

5. No Platform-based Hate. - This subreddit is for discussion on web novels and their intrinsic qualities. Not about the platform they are posted on, the various business dealings of the players in the industry or any thing of that nature. How other people conduct their business and relationships is of no consequence here. Do not attempt to create drama regarding platforms. Do not promote hate for a novel based on where it's published.

One warning. Any violations of this rule after that will result in a ban.

6. Do Not Post Links To Aggregators - Many of the web novels here are made freely available to everyone to read. Aggregators steal free content to make advertising revenue.

This is a zero tolerance rule. All offenders will be banned. No ignorance excuse.

7. Spoilers - If you do not mark your post or comment as having spoilers it will be removed. Any posts with a spoiler in the title will be removed.

Spoiler tags in comments are done like the example below if you are using markdown or use the built-in spoiler tags on the redesign.

How to spoiler tag: >(#)!spoiler here!(#)< remove the (#) and this appears as <!spoiler here!>.

8. Inappropriate Content - This isn't a NSFW subreddit. Don't post that stuff here. Posts will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banne

    Good or Bad - October 29, 2024

    Welcome to the Weekly Good or Bad Thread!

    The purpose of the thread is simple. We decide collectively if a novel is good or bad, that's it. You don't need to reason out why you think a novel is good or bad, no need to tease out the nuances, no deciphering the riddles of MTL to unearth profound truths. The rules are also simple.

    Rules:

    1. EVERY COMMENT IN REPLY TO THIS SELF-POST MUST BE THE NAME OF A NOVEL! (Include the NovelUpdates link if you're feeling particularly helpful.)

    2. EVERY COMMENT MADE IN REPLY TO A NAMED NOVEL MUST ONLY BE "GOOD" or "BAD". That's it. If you like the named novel, you reply with "GOOD". If you did not like it, you reply with "BAD".

    3. ALL COMMENTS FEATURING ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE NAME OF A NOVEL, "GOOD", and "BAD" will be removed. This thread is intended to be a quick glance sorta thing and some mild entertainment. It is not meant to get into giant fanboy discussions and yelling and crying. No one needs to justify their opinion here.

    That's it.

    translations need more dialogue attribution

    okay, so in many asian languages i know there are many ways for a speaker to indicate their own gender, the gender of the person they're speaking to, their relative social status, etc

    as a consequence of this, i suppose, theres very little indication outside of dialogue about who is speaking

    english doesnt have these indicators!

    i dont know who tf is talking!!! tell me who js talking!! at least throw me a "soandso said". or a "he said" or "she said"

    Been searching forever, cant get it off my mind

    I am looking for the name of the novel where the son of a large family is secretly powerful trained in martial arts.

    When his family is attacked, he reveals his power and defeated the enemies alongside a women reincarnator that is also part of his family.

    The women reincarnator decides to teach and gift the main character techniques so that she can use him in the future. She recognized his talent.

    I've been searching for it on webnovel, wuxiaworld, chatgpt for the past 3 days but still can't find it. I vaguely remember reading it on wuxiaworld but their system is so hard to navigate and seems to be missing a bunch of novels. Any ideas?

    plot similar to nshba

    The mc is male and I think his mother has a pheonix bloodline and his father has a dragon bloodline and his evil dragon family relatives either switch his spirit root(and/or talent) with another relative or just straight stole it. The father is also imprisoned by dragon family or some royal family. Mc later awakens his moms side of his bloodline which makes him almost unkillable cause he nirvana rebirth when killed I think. I believe there are other divine beast bloodline families like the tortoise and tiger dont remember but he did attend a school and he ends up leading the school similar to nshba. Also when he nirvana rebirth i think his age gets younger everytime. Does anyone know the title of the novel I'm thinking of???

    I remember the mc had terrible luck growing up. I think I remember it was cause a necklace his father gave him. Finally died in maybe a library fire or collapse. Transmigrated with luck powers. Might be a system. Pretty there’s gods and inheritable god seats. I think his powers came from the goddess of luck

    Please help me find a chinese light novel i read years ago.

    I remember some chapters where the earth which MC lives is part of a universe that also has stronger alien planets trying to occupy them but they have a deal that they need to deliver or send something to prevent colonization. The MC went to that other planet to experience it but had hardship because the aliens are stronger. He gets by selling herbs or potions i think which he can produce because he can plant in his spatial land or something.i think this happens in later chapters.

    Need help finding a novel about supression of the low class

    Specifically it is a cultivation novel about a mc who has a cheat that allows him to reincarnate continuously. From what i remember,the novel focuses on the class differences and suppression of the lower class. Mc's cheat is actually a top treasure that is needed to reach the final stage of cultivation, but the mc instead sacrifices the cheat at the end of novel to allow everyone to be able to reincarnate. Some details here may be wrong.

    Transmigrated Assassin fl x martial arts ml in ancient era/jianghu

    the fl is an assassin transmigrated into ancient times where there’s an emperor and a jianghu setting (martial arts fantasy ig).

    • I think she transmigrated into a girl of merchant background that is awaiting to be wed to ml from an aristocrat family. (Kinda forgot so I might’ve mixed it with another novel)
    • fl is an assassin so she relies on light footwork and swift assassinations while ml is an internal cultivator but he hides it as on the surface he is a useless waste that relies on the family. (I think it’s for the emperor to see)
    • fl is cold, expressionless; ml is hippie cheeky gangsta heroic kinda I FORGOT but mans got an expression on his face (the useless waste facade) unlike fl …. He’s prolly sly as well. ​
    • when fl FIRST transmigrated, they fought for a round on the bed (literally—no seggs yet so far)and then they kissed (fighting kiss = kissing fierce to assert dominance) bc ml can’t show that he has high martial arts (he is vigilant against fl)

    • Also, it’s pretty cliche but BEFORE fl transmigrated, she was betrayed by her crush/friend and got killed by them.

    ​ FIRST ARC

    • fl gets on a ship with her prospective husband ml to the aristocrat main house.
    • while the ship was sailing there were pirates attacking and then the fl got to fight using her assassin skills and amazed the servants around the ml.
    • the ml’s family prolly originated from jianghu bc they own an underground force (smth like assassin organisation or mercenary idk) which later (after the 2nd arc?) ml’s father decided to hand over to fl to take charge bc her skills were more suitable for it.
    • ml’s family is harmonious (not much drama) so they don’t care that fl abuses ml (like how they fight each other a lot of the times)

    Second arc

    • ml father (I think bc I don’t rmbr who) gave ml and fl a mission to investigate (?) somewhere with a few subordinates.
    • somehow the couple got strayed away from their subordinates and got trapped in a wild tribe.
    • to get out of the tribe, couples must complete a few harsh challenges (I only rmbr one challenge):

    one is that couples need to be able to differentiate between their real lover and puppets. So under a dark tunnel, fl and ml are dropped in random areas of the tunnel and be attacked by numerous puppets acting like their lover. the fl will be attacked by puppets acting like ml and vice versa (they will of course fight back) previous couples that were trapped in the wild tribe failed and died bc they either killed or got killed by their lover or puppet. (Puppets will look alike and sound the same as the couple) BUT of course ml and fl succeeded bc although they are not an actual couple they somehow are compatible comrades that have each others back and have the skills to stop a stabbing motion when faced with the actual person.​

    I rmbr there was a scene where the couple and their subordinates went to a restaurant in an isolated town. The restaurant served human meat dishes which fl could smell so she didn’t eat. Ml and another subordinate saw her not eating so they also didn’t eat, but a subordinate didn’t notice and ate the dishes, later vomitting when ml question her why she did not eat to which reply human meat.

    the latest chapter I rmbr reading was of assassins (from the emperor?) pursuing the carriage of mls family and fl trying to kill off the assassins. while the carriage was getting pulled by the galloping horse, fl has to fight assassins while running to catch up with the carriage. Then mls family got to see fls amazing foot work and fighting skills.

    if this sounds familiar to you and you recognise it, pls tell me <3 Just comment the raw title

    Looking for the original Chinese novel

    So I found this book "Unbreakable Love: His Passion for Her Transcends Death" but I think it's a Chinese novel translated. Does anyone know the original Chinese name? I've also seen it under the name "When her death couldn't break him" with the same plot but different character names.

    This the synopsis GoodNovel has about the book: It's close to impossible for a naturally disabled person to find love. Yvette Snyder was born weak of hearing; even her own mother detests her. After getting married, her affluent husband, Xavier Lane, and the people in his life mock and humiliate her. Then, her husband's ex-girlfriend comes back into his life and publicly announces that she wants to take back everything that should've been hers. She even goes so far as to stand before Yvette to say smugly, "I bet you won't know what it's like to be loved by someone-not in this lifetime. Has Xav ever told you he loves you? He used to say it to me all the time." Only then does Yvette realize how wrong she's been. But it's too late. Her love has gone down the drain; she shouldn't have married someone who doesn't love her. She decides to let go and return Xavier's freedom to him. But Xavier's the first to object. "If you want to get a divorce, you'll have to do it over my dead body!"

    Rich and smart FL who cures her own illness

    A while ago I read part of a Chinese novel but stopped for some reason (can’t remember exactly why) and now I can’t find it.

    It’s a modern story about a daughter of a wealthy family who was reborn after dying from a fatal disease (not cancer I think) and her father neglected her in favor of his “adopted daughter” who was the daughter of a family friend.

    The part I remember the most is that there was one specific cure for FL’s disease and her grandparent had spent millions(?) to get it, and instead her father gave it away to the adopted daughter’s mother, but the FL was able to cure it herself because she had spent her previous life studying while stuck in the hospital. Any help is immensely appreciated!!

    I read mostly from novelupdates.com but I haven’t been able to find it there yet. I’ve tried searching with tags I think it may have had, but no luck.

    I once saw a screenshot of a novel/ff, it was smth like the speaker looks up and sees 3 great beings who shadow over him/world. I remember one among those is Heaven Refining demon venerable. It was that screenshot which motivated me to read RI, now I wanna know which novel or ff that was and also who the other 2 great being are(I think those 2 were from 2 different novels according to the comment on that post, which is why I suspect that may be a fanfiction)

    The novel involves the main character in a large family with secretly powerful martial arts which he is forced to review after his family is attacked by unknown forces. From there he meets with a woman reincarnator that teaches a immortal art that is sword control. They then defeat the enemies and join different sects. Any ideas?

    Name of novel?? Reminds me of TCF

    Read at least 3-4 years ago and can't remember much anymore. Beginning reminds me of Trash of Counts Family due to the power system and planning.

    -Terminally ill, male MC who was isekaied. He was trying to strategize a way to live by collecting abilities like regen to keep himself from imminently dying to his illness. Wheelchair bound up to a point. Might've been the last of a noble family. Probably old but fallen.

    -Butler/attendant who was paid to assassinate him. Changed sides when MC gave him family heirloom sword since butler had a collection of rare swords.

    I didn't read much, so I can't remember far. It might've been Korean, I'd say definitely not Chinese. Names were probably anglicized/not native language names, but again, hard to remember.
