So if you people can help to do, I am sure I am will be one of many with a huge smile thanks to all the people could like to share this job, and for the complainers, just keep quiet (we dont need or even like to hear about it) and search for other source according they like it (if can find it or wait sit).

In a perfect world yeah, but... Well,
Teh_Ping pretty much sums it up. It's a dirty and thankless job- If you're lucky most people would actually appreciate your existence.
If you're unlucky, well...
*cough SAO
cough* (
)
Of course this seems to depend on the type of LN and what type of fans it would attract
I'll stay away from pure fanservice harems if I were you...
Me? I'm just here to shoot the breeze and mess with
teh_ping, I've no investment in Accel World heh

The newer stuff like DxD feels abit 'lawless' to me; the impression I'm getting is alot of newcomers with little to no idea how the translators work and nobody to correct them.
Like what I always say in other LN threads, it's not like there's a Writers' Guild running the show and assigning quests with rewards to people.
