Hey guys, I'm one of those lurkers that turned over a new leaf and suddenly realized that I could also translate chinese web novels /o/. I had no idea what kind of web novel to pick so I lurked these forums to read some of the past recommendation threads here.
What started off as a random complaint about the lack of translated works has blossomed into a partnership between a casual and a lurker!
We chose to translate Ni Tian Xie Shen by Mars Gravity. It is the most recent web novel by Mars Gravity and is still in progress at around 300 chapters so far. We have never read any written works from this author but he had some pretty lengthy past novels (anything over 500 chapters is long to me) so I figured he would be a decent start for us to begin our little journey.
Well, #2 kind of semi quit halfway and he only proofreads my work when he feels like it. So now I'm the main translator after finding out that I actually can read the classy type of chinese literature. The idioms/proverbs were a bit hard for me to translate but I'll be doing my best to keep to the original RAWs as much as possible.
Current Status: In Progress (294 chapters as of 04/07/2015)

Synopsis:
A boy is being chased by various people because he alone holds some kind of treasure. He jumps off a cliff to not let any of them have it and wakes up in the body of a boy with the same name in another world. Fortunately, he has kept the treasure he ran off with.
It's been a week or so since I've started and Chapter 1-8 has already been translated. I was thinking about how to share my translation and remembered where I started out from
Visit me at https://alyschu.wordpress.com/ to check it out. It would also help if those of you here that can read chinese check out its glossary and see if you could come up with better names for the stuff there because my naming sense is odd enough that I would name a school Pillar Tofu Academy if I had to.
//edit: You know I'm a legit lurker because this is actually my first post on these forums even though I've read most of the translations here.. xD
