Translation Website



Translation Website and their Translator

There are many websites where translators and editor teamed up to load up the light novel that they had translated. Some Translator load up their work in two website like goodguyperson put his Battle Through The Heavens in Wuxia World and Gravity Translation. Though some translator translate the novel their own with their own Website orblog. The few website I know are:

  • Wuxia World
  • Gravity Translation
  • Yellowlaw Translation
  • Tototranslation
  • Binggo&Corp Translations
  • Blue Silver Translation



Wuxia World

The translator working in this website are:
RWX: RWX is a lover of Wuxia, aka Chinese martial arts fiction (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an example of ‘Wuxia’). It was the love of Wuxia which propelled RWX to study and improve his Chinese, and he credits it with many positive influences in his life. The name RWX comes from the character Ren Woxing, from a novel by popular Chinese wuxia writer Jinyong. Although the first book which Wuxiaworld is currently translating is 盘龙, a ‘Xianxia’ type novel (aka a novel that blends Daoist magic with martial arts), in the long run, he is sure that he will translate more stories of either Wuxia or Xianxia!
RWX is currently working on: Coiling Dragon (盘龙).

Flowerbridgetoo: After watching various anime series, FBT started to find continuations of the stories in mangas and novels. Starting from the light novel Spice & Wolf, he stumbled upon Baka-Tsuki and discovered Chinese web novels. From there, he discovered Chinese web novel translations such as Coiling Dragon and Zhan Long, and was inspired to translate as well, so that is how he is here now!
FBT is currently working on: Martial God Asura (修罗武神).

alyschu: Coming soon!
alyschu and her team is currently working on: Against the Gods (逆天邪神)

Deathblade: Deathblade was born and raised in San Diego, California. Growing up, he was always interested in Asian culture and of course, kung fu movies. In the year 2000, the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came out, and that was the first wuxia movie he ever saw. It really sparked his interest in Chinese culture, and in wuxia, so he went online looking for wuxia books to read and found SPCNET.TV and other translation sites. He picked the screen name “Deathblade” because that was his StarCraft BattleNet handle at the time. In 2009, Deathblade started studying Mandarin, and then actually moved to China and has been there ever since. He has translated several wuxia novels; 7 Killers, Heroes Shed No Tears, and Kung Fu.
Deathblade (with the help of Mrs. Deathblade) is currently working on: I Shall Seal the Heavens(我欲封天).

Xiao Lai: Xiao Lai was born in Miami, Florida, the land of crocodiles and swamp people, and is fairly certain he is one of the latter. From a young age Chinese culture was an influence on his life, born from terribly dubbed kung fu movies – an origin story many of you undoubtedly share. He’s lived in China for ten years, married an incredible Chinese woman and has since graduated from medical school with a degree in Acupuncture and TuiNa massage. All of his classes were entirely in Chinese. His name, Xiao Lai, is a condensed version of his real Chinese name. Roughly translated, it means Little Reliable, or Little Bastard (largely depending on who you ask – which elicits no end of cackling laughter when I’m introduced as Doctor Lai.).
Xiao Lai is currently working on: Skyfire Avenue (天火大道).

goodguyperson: a “Chinese-American” that lived in China for three years and thus his Chinese is better than the average Joe’s. Back in China, he mostly read “trusted” authors such as Jin Yong and Gu Long. He also liked to read history books – especially those that described strategies and legacies of great generals. Late in 2014, after a bit of reading Manga and playing League of Legends, he was quite bored and clicked on a Legendary Moonlight Sculptor link, then kept reading light novel after light novel until he stumbled upon (VMMORPG webnovel) Zhan Long on a reddit post by Helloshorty. Afterwards, when Helloshorty began to fall from schoolwork, GGP decided to pick up the novel and thus gravitytales.com was born!  GGP and his team continues to work on Zhan Long at gravitytales.com, but eventually picked up BTTH as well, which he is doing here!
GGP and his team are currently working on: Battle Through the Heavens (斗破苍穹).

  • Comfortabull: Super Otaku extraordinaire! I watch a LOT of anime. How much is a lot you say? Well I’ve seen approximately 9-10% of ALL anime. Doesn’t sound like much does it? Google how many anime series there are then see if it still seems like a small amount! I’ve recently started shifting more towards the light novel scene now that it is getting harder to please my tastes with most of the newer anime that get released. I am the newest editor to join the team, and hope for the best going forward!
