I'm trying to translate this one novel, is anyone interested in proofreading? DM

If you like reading a quick transmigration with a white lotus / green tea girl as a female lead. I recommend you to read this novel. The first arc is really fun to read with, and it has 9 arc in all.

I've been reading this novel for the last few weeks and the novel suddenly came to an end around chapter 510. I still can't process why the ending was so rushed and was left in a cliffhanger. I can't find any continuations of this novel, would be really grateful to anyone who has any idea about this !

I'm trying to find a light novel I read years ago. It was a quick transmigration and bl. The MC was a cold type and a slut. I remember that between worlds he would take lessons on how to act cute and something but would always end up acting seductive or psycho. The romance in each world was with the same guy(same soul?) but MC didn't actually care about that. I remember him saying that despite ML being the same soul in each world he is still a different person so if he falls for him again cool if not oh well no bother. Don't really remember type of worlds MC transmigrated into but one of them was historical. With MC being some rich guy and ML a slave/servant. If this rings any bells pls tell me I'm starting to think I hallucinated the whole thing... (Sorry for my english, not my first language)

Hello, hello. I need help. Please.

Sometime ago I was reading a novel but I lost it. And I can't find it and I've tried a lot of ways. The novel is about a guy that transmigrates into a novel (im not sure) into a guy that hates the male lead and has a terrible reputation and has wasted money trying to beat the male lead. This guy just want to get away from the drama, make money and eat rice xd but he saves the nephew of the male lead (later ge found out that he is the one that paid to kidnap the kid but before he transmigrated) and the nephew grew fond of MC and the male lead start to take interest of him. There's powers and I don't remember a lot about the drama.

If someone knows the novel. Please let me know. !

okay, so i dont even remember the mc name, the novel is about this guy who is in a noble family, his dad is a lord who governs over a planet i think, and lords in this novel gover over several planets, his dad isn't a high ranking lord... anyway the power system is gifts, where people receive certain powers like fire, water...etc. meanwhile Mc has a different kind of power. anyway in the beginning mc had a ceremony, but a guy holding a grudge against his father i think, tried to ruin the ceremony by bringing monsters, and when this happened in the midst of chaos mc got possessed and killed a lot of them, i think he got possessed by a being of justice or something and he had a sword, anyway there is also two gods i think in this world not sure tho. i know my description is so bad and vague but i have been lookign for weeks now im so lost. please help.

I need the raw name burglar system: stealing ancient dragon god bloodline from the very start

I read a novel a while back about a female lead and her master. It’s a Chinese novel. Dao exists. Reincarnation.

Her master gave her a name that basically means “Desire” in Chinese and it became an ongoing joke on the novel.

There’s like a pet there whose name is “Sesame” that she found in some sort of pagoda(?) by saying “Open Sesame”

I think she has a system(?)

PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT

So I’m just posting a screenshot of what I’ve been asking like 3+ subreddits at this point, hoping I’ve finally found the right place ❤️

I'm a Korean webnovel translator, and I'm wondering how arcs are determined, like on wikis. Is the benchmark just the location? I mean, isn't it too ambiguous to just rely on place?

Note : I'm not Korean-English translator.

Hey everyone, I'm searching for a novel, but can't remember the name...

It's about a MC that is living inside a fake reality, like a game, controlled by people outside in the real world.

He get a system that lets him create monsters existing in said game and send them to the real world.

All of his life in the "virtual world" is live broadcast.

Would someone know the title please? Thanks!

So there was a Chinese webnovel I read in qidian, that I forgat to save the name of. But basically the plot is that the mc is a reincarnated into a cyberpunk world where everyone has chips and low emotions due to their digitalized reality. The mc is a game maker who was just fired for being behind the times and unable to have a chip in his head, despite having a successful game.

There he gains a system to create game and farm emotions. Slowly changing the world with them. It was a cool take on the system game making novels, but I couldn't find the novel since.

These types of novels have: an MC who goes to another world or simulation, gets a mission, solves it and receives benefits/strength increase and then he does some stuff in the real world with the new powers gained.

The problem: the first simulation is around 10-15 chapters long, the second is 30-40 chapters long, the fourth is 100 chapters long and the fifth is 300 chapters long.

The issue: the simulation world has no effect on the real world but the author keeps making them convoluted but I (as a reader) am not interested in a virtual character who will have no bearing on the MC after this simulation is over. I am more interested in what he is doing in the real world. There is also that disconnect where it feels like reading a different novel altogether.

Another issue with these is: power creep. In some novels where there are other such people, they have gone through 100's of such simulations to reach a power level that our MC has reached in 3 or 4 simulations. How? Why? And then after 4 or 5 such simulations, the novel has to end.

Do my fellow readers also have this same problem?

I am currently reading: I have demon god simulator and I just saw the chapter names and the current arc is 100 chapters long. A scary strong villain is 15 seconds away from reaching and killing our MC but MC has gone into the simulation and that simulation is 100 chapters long. It's a burden to read and I just want to skip to what will happen later, but if I do that then the whole novel will be 50 or 70 chapters long instead of the 600 I planned to read.

Searching for a novel I’ve read once. The protagonist in sealed in a bubble or something like that and the only way out is telling stories to the people that came to kill him to re-contextualize the things he supposedly did.

This does in fact makes what he is saying he did to save his ass as things he have done in universe. Pretty sure it was a system or something like that, but it has been some time.

I remember he did some terrible things such as stealing his sisters sword bone or similar, but then said it was to save her life, the same with keeping her imprisoned into some terrible place, etc.

So i read this on webtoon (the pre release version that you had to vote for) where there was this famous Actress who had a fan (doctor). So creep fan tried to hurt her, and the next thing is the creeps wrist is slashed. I don’t remember more than this, but it’s been on my mind since forever. Any ideas what this webnovel could have been ?

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.

This is one of the best and most heart-touching novel featuring a child protagonist who travels between worlds.

The arcs are well-written and emotional, without being repetitive. The main character is a child with a tragic past—he was murdered by his parents and unable to reincarnate due to being imprisoned for a thousand years by them. He only wish was to have parents who love him

A system binds him to earn merit by transporting him to different worlds, where the MC is transmigrated as a scum child who betrayed their loving parents.

It's a sweet, heartwarming, and bittersweet journey.

First off, a disclaimer. I am not asking this out of malice, merely tentative curiosity and great respect for the culture and the world of these novels and the Chinese culture and traditions behind them. I am an avid fan of the genre, in every medium.

I've been reading novels for the last few years and can't help but come up with OCs and plotlines. Now, I am, as far as I know, not the first non-Chinese person to be interested in writing a novel and there have been many who have done so. The issue is, that despite my love for the genre and the novels, I do not speak Mandarin.

I do not wish to offend or do anything beyond showing my appreciation by publishing a novel on a site like Wattpad or something similar. I have carefully and reasonably well-researched themes and traditions that would go into the novel. I am more than happy to tuck my tail between my legs and keep my writing to myself, but would it be acceptable to publish a work of this genre purely in English?

So basically I was reading a Chinese novel using a safari browser extension to auto translate and it was more or less not very legible. So I went ahead and copied it into chatgbt with the prompt “edit this text to make it more readable and grammatically correct, do not make any unnecessary changes nor add any unnecessary details” the output I got was pretty decent translation, definitely a leg up to mlt at the very least, the only issues I really faced were chatgbt warning about plagiarism but that was pretty easy to get around with some persistence. Overall I’d rate this to be a feasible method but I felt it could be optimized to be much more efficient and effective if done by someone smarter than myself.

Anyways I was just wondering if anyone knew of a web browser extension that already does this or was interested in attempting to make one.

hello guys, does anyone know what is the title of a novel that is "She left me on our wedding day, now I sell street bbq" MCs name is Wang Wenbin.

[Found it
Its called "The villain's side of the novel"]

Hey there!

I don't remember much, but here it is.

Its a bit different than a reincarnation or transmigration.

A old man from modern world, who read a novel was being transmigrated inside the novel as the villain.

But instead of being transmigrated, the villain (who belongs in the novel world) overtakes and kills the old man who was trying to take over. In the process the villain gains the memories of the future from the old man. What i remember is that the villain is from a very prominent family. It's a fantasy type novel obviously.

The rest goes how he takes over his family (instead of his sister). I think this should be enough, other than this there are only very brief things which i remember, like when he takes over a assassin children group right after getting his memories and stuff.

Thanks in advance;')

The main character is talentless and only in the sect because of his auntie/sister. She gives him a dragon pill. When he gets cornered by bullies who want to take the pill he shallows it and awakens a system. After that there is a tournament type of thing in sect and he wins it. Then there is a weapon smith who came to sect but he want more money than necessary so mc challenges him in weapon smith and won then he got a strong flame as a prize by system. Thats basically the first 20ish chapters.

I remember that first he can detect treasures in a hundred meter radius and an event where he went to a cliff or something and found strong people fighting then he fell and ate something and got stronger and another event where he was chased and then found an inheritance underneath him thats all i hope someone can find the title.

Up vote please if you don't know

Ok, what I remember of this novel is that it was about a guy in a world where people had magic, swords and stuff that was measured by their talent. Mc had the max amount of talent however he was tricked into thinking he had no talent because a rich guy didn't want anyone more talented to show up as he would get less atention the day he was measured. I also remember Mc getting reincarnated back when he was a bus and doing reincarnation stuff.

Hello,can someone help me find this Chinese webnovel / lightnovel.

She later discovers she is pregnant and begins live-streaming her cooking, focusing on Chinese cuisine with elements of traditional Chinese medicine. Over time, she gains popularity and eventually opens a renowned restaurant. The male lead is a wealthy and devoted husband who supports her throughout her journey.

Please help, I want to read it again

"I Am Fated Villain" (also known as "I Am Destined to Be the Villain") is a Chinese webnovel that follows the story of a protagonist who is reincarnated into a world where he is perceived as a villain by the people around him. Here's a summary of key details:

Plot Overview:

The protagonist, Liang Chen, is reincarnated into a world where magic is based on real-life physical theories. The system of magic is deeply ingrained in society, and each magic element is practiced by mages in specific magic towers. These towers are dedicated to elements like fire, water, wind, and others.

Key Points:

1. Reincarnation and Realization: After his reincarnation, Liang Chen quickly realizes that the magical theories on which the world’s magic system is built are flawed. This includes the misunderstanding that elements like fire and wind are fundamentally magical when, in fact, they can be explained by real-world physical principles.

2. Challenging Magic Theories: Liang Chen begins to challenge these established theories. For example, he declares that fire is not an element but a chemical reaction. His declaration causes a huge stir in the world, and his new theory is instantly recognized and spread across the realm. This sets off a series of reactions among different magic practitioners, such as the fire mages' disbelief and the wind mages' mockery.

3. The Villain Perception: Throughout the novel, Liang Chen is viewed by the world as a villain. His actions, which go against established beliefs, often put him at odds with the powerful forces that control the magic system, causing society to see him as a disruptive and dangerous figure.

4. Exploration and Conspiracy: Later in the plot, Liang Chen finds himself in a mausoleum, where he encounters the ghost of a dead knight. During their interaction, Liang Chen uncovers a conspiracy that plays a significant role in the world’s conflicts.

It was a very average novel that I just suddenly remembered today where the protagonist was of the royal family and a reincarnation of a swordsman of the same world, he had a special sword with a dual cultivation technique (I am pretty sure that it was a white dragon) and the sword could fuse with other swords (also of mystical animals with colors) to make a divine sword, he also entered a dual cultivation sect later, can’t take this out of my mind now
