Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q. Can I post your translations on Wattpad/ScribbleHub/etc?

A. Please DO NOT post my translations anywhere else. This is considered STEALINGI know that some of you want to post them on Wattpad anyway for the offline feature, but did you know you can keep them as DRAFTS and still access them? Don’t be a THIEF. I am also looking at all you aggregator sites out there. Just because I haven’t shot you an email doesn’t mean I allow it.

Q. Can I use your English translation to translate this novel into a different language?

A.  Shoot me an email or comment first. Also, if I do give you permission, credit me for the English translation and link back to my blog.

Q. Can I pick up one of your novels?

A. Shoot me an email using my contact form and we’ll discuss it.

Q. How often do you release chapters?

A. Every Saturday for TSP, TJOAIC, and BMN. Sporadic for SYP.  

Q. Can you translate [insert novel title]?

A. You can request a novel only if it’s 1) under 70 chapters (for completely untranslated novels) or under 100 chapters (for partially translated novels), 2) Chinese, and 3) isn’t entirely smut. But that doesn’t mean I’d pick it up.

Q. Do you MTL?

A. No. I do not use any type of machine software to translate for any of my Chinese novels. I translate by hand and with the help of the Pleco dictionary app whenever there is vocabulary I am unsure of. However, some chapters of Villain Days were translated with the aid of some machine software, to compare with my less than proficient Japanese. Those chapters have been tagged as “MTL” for convenience only.

        1. Hi crystal, you have my permission, but please credit me “Sleepchaser” for the English translation. You can also leave a link to your translation if you want, and I can put it in the table of contents.

  2. Hi Sleepchaser!!!
    I’ve been a part of your journey for The Job of an Imperial Concubine since February 2020…. Thanks a lot for translating this…. Yesterday, I felt like re-reading it… today, I reached chapter 6 and it says that I have to have a password to access the chapter… I wanted to ask, if you have decided to publish this on a paid platform???

    1. The chapter is NOT on a paid site. I had to lock down my site due to potential DMCA takedowns. Please click the discord invite link that is on the side bar or on the homepage, and follow the instructions there for password
