Dropped or Dead translations

[MnemosLogos]

It has become pretty common lately to see or hear about a favorite translation being dropped or withering on the vine with no updates for months. With the understanding that translators, for the most part, have their hands pretty full already I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that attempted to bring to light, these gems that are getting buried or collecting dust so that, hopefully a kind Master (translator) may bring them to the inner sect, (start translating them again.)

For my personal input, I'd like to talk about a little gem called Tempered Immortal. ( https://sabertranslations.wordpress.com/toc/ for those who want to read the work already done.) There are others out there that have been dead for longer but it's something that I'm spilling tears over.

I would like to add assassin reborn which is only 8 chapters in and zhan xian (beheading immortal) which is only 5 chapters in .

This should be stickied, I always see others asking for recommendations on what to translate, and this could be helpful

[MnemosLogos]

Right!? But I may be a bit biased

[kitren tigra]

i was looking forward to seeing how zhan xian continued once he was done with the killing

[The Iron Dragon]

God and Devil World was just dropped by chinanovel.net due to "racism" . Since they're all from the same race and it's more accurately named chauvinism if anything else.Also considering the worst traits that are brought out by the post apocalyptic world I think it's nothing next to rampart rape/slavery/murder and so on. I hope somebody picks it up tho :P

[The Iron Dragon]

Apparently God and Devil world has been picked up by fruttelimsg at https://youjinsite.wordpress.com/ . He updates quite quickly and cheers for him picking up this series again.

Is it actually dead? I was wanting to try my hand at it early last year but always hesitated (read: I am a lazy bum) and was excited when it was picked up. I would love to actually make an effort if it has been dropped.

Sabre hasn't actually said anything since Sept though

Just pick it up, more than likely it's dropped.

[MnemosLogos]

With a last post of 'No Free Time' and dead air for two months I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's toast. Even if that's not the case, if someone else picks it up and the original translator returns, the community is going to respect the decision of the person who picked up the ball whether it be continuing or relinquishing the translation.

Well, here it is

[MnemosLogos]

tl;dr - they are opening DOP and UUTS for adoption! (May be dropping)

[MnemosLogos]

Thanks for the input. If any people who are following this thread know translators who are looking for projects, send em on over to have a look. Also, if anyone knows any promising stories that are being hung out to dry don't be shy.

[kitren tigra]

it seems zhan-xian has been picked up

[MnemosLogos]

Thanks for that update Kitren. On another note, it seems that Instant Kill is still dead. Good Wife translations hasn't updated since around mid October. if anyone is interested in reading the story up to its terminated point on Good Wife, here's the link... http://goodwifetranslation.com/pages...ill/v3/c7.html
