Thank u for ur hardwork. Cant wait for next chap^^
I really appreciate all of your work this site is one of my source of joy.~
Thank you so much for your hard work.
Hello Guys, Thank you that I found you again.. :)
Just found out this site recently n made me fall so in luv with the story. Thank u so much for ur hardwork. Wonder if u have also posted in wattpad. This is worth of huge appreciation n u guys r the best. Thank u so much. Looking forward for next chapter. Will wait patiently.
Thank you all for translating and all the hard work! I had already read finish the raw and both stories are real great! Do you guys mind introducing or recommend other novels like these two?
Thank you so much for translating True Star! We will patiently wait for the next update.
Thanks for the hard work. But is it possible for me to get the raws of Ti Shen? If it’s possible then I’ll really be grateful.
I already finished True Star in raws since last year and I’ve been wondering how could the translators have a slow pace regarding the story. Considering the total words per chapter, it should be at least updated regularly.
Anyways, it is a pity because the project was like started since 2012 and it is already 2017 and the word count is not really that LONG. For an average update, this would have finished for just like two years. From volume 1 to volume 4, while the rest would be working on the Extra chapters.
Well.
I’m sorry, we’re busy people. We have other stuff to do. I’m the only active translator at the moment, so inevitably the pace is slow. If you want me to machine translate everything for you, then I can finish both True Star and Ti Shen in a week. But we have standards. If you would like to take True Star off our hands, then please, go ahead.
Hello. If you need a Chinese translator for Ti Shen then I can help. Although the update may be just twice in a week. I’m really interested in the novel so please do let me know if you need help translating Ti Shen.
Yes, we would love to have a translator for Ti Shen! :D But you do have to download the translator test first and complete it. Then you can send it to me at nannvalle@gmail.com and I’ll look over it!
True.. but 1 chapter for true star in 2 or 3 months is just… too much isn’t it? And previously you promised regular updates, but now it’s not even on time anymore. In the first place you took on too many projects compared to what you can handle. My criticism might hurt you but I think you should focus on 1 novel and give the rest to other groups willing to take it up. This way, you will have less burden and many readers won’t be disappointed.
I am simply a translator who came along middle of the way. Our group leader was the one responsible for picking out projects. Therefore, the decision to drop a project is not solely mine to make. I’m sorry if you have been disappointed by the speed of our translation. There are machine translations available for all four volumes of True Star out there. You can check those out if you’re really curious about the subsequent chapters.
hello… about your comment it sound interesting if you could translate the rest of the novel. how about it? do want to publish the translation? i really like True Star by the way :)
It has been over 2 months since last time Body Double was updated. Please don’t abandon my Xiao Ge T_T
So far it’s not being abandoned but we are in desperate need of chinese translators and proofreaders. If anyone is interested please email us.
Love your translation!! looking forward for the next True Star
I’m interested to be a proofreader of both novel! I really love them! Just email me if you want madellinetamayo@gmail.com
Thank you for your hard work!!
I love both story. Can’t wait for the next update. Keep up the good work
Thankyou for translating :))
Really enjoying this novel, thanks for translating
Dying for Body Double! It’s been really a while…
