Yes, blanket permission is given as long as you credit Lianyin and link back to https://jade-rabbit.net. Do also note that my translations are not word-for-word or literal translations if that’s what you are looking for. 

Permission is DENIED for retranslations that will be posted on for-profit or monetizing sites (i.e., sites that makes money off ad-revenues, etc). 

Also please note that all ongoing translations will undergo a round of re-edits to weed out typos, standardize terms, clean up text, etc once the translation has been completed.

Thank you very much for your understanding! :3

Unless otherwise stated, all novels translated here are from JJWXC. The direct link is in the “Support the Author!” box at the end of every chapter. (Specifically, the ’Novel’ link). It’s also in the synopsis of the novel.

Here’s a guide or gdoc done by 書庫!

No, I’m only translating out of love for the novels. If you love the stories, you can show your support directly to the authors by buying the original chapters or novels on JJWXC! The links are at the bottom of every translated chapter. Thank you! :3

Yeah, I’m aware of that. Once the whole novel has been translated, I’ll do another read through and re-edit to weed out typos, clean up sentences, standardize terms, and such. In the meantime, please bear with me!

There’s no fixed schedule. Currently as follows:
Nan Chan: no fixed schedule for edits
Qiang Jin Jiu: every 3 days or so
Time-Limited Hunt: every 1 week or so

Disabled and not likely to open up in the future. Sorry.

In fan translations, I tend to be more liberal in using Chinese terms like gege, shifu, and in dishing out footnotes if I find that it might be helpful to a non-Chinese reader. Fan translations are, after all, a hobby project to me so I’ll tend to be less anal about the translation style so that I can keep as close as I can to the original text including slangs, cultural references, and so on, then share cultural tips when I can.

In official translations (of licensed novels), however, I’ll tend to go for a more formal and fully translated version in English that is press-ready, i.e., minimal Chinese terms if I can help it (except for names) and no/minimal footnotes. (Also subjected to publisher’s preference). If any publisher would like to get my current translations for licensing, I’d be happy to rework them into a proper English translation meant for publishing!
