Manhwa

I've read the first 5 chapters of all the manhwas, and I've come to a conclusion:

MATH.

The following factors will effect how many times the manhwa will be entered into the equation:

  • Completed +2
  • Ongoing +1
  • Discontinued +0
  • < 30 chapters (until caught up with weekly or finished) +3
  • 31-40 chapters +2
  • >40 chapters +1
  • Number of times requested x 1.5
  • a group is not working on it  +1.5
  • a group is working on it +1
  • How much I like it +1-10
    • Art +1-2
Any other suggestions what to take into consideration before I do the math?

  1. A group is working on it +1? Are you sure you didn't mean -1?

    By the way, Splicer here.

    1. Nope- I don't really care that much if a group is working on it as long as I can work faster.
      I figure if I like it, why not?

      I should probably edit it to include that it's +1 only if the updates aren't on a weekly basis though.

  2. I totally forgot to mention these back on the other page, but I'd like you to consider:
    - Boarding House Dorothy
    - Dragon Recipe
    - Good Robot
    - The Vampire & The Bachelor Next Door
    - Over Steam
    - Gaussian Blur
    - Living With One Leg (not completely sure if this is actually a webtoon or not, but if it is, yeah)
    - Potion Mania
    - A Fairytale for the Demon Lord (if it's still ongoing at all)
    - Dr. Frost

    Once again, thank you so much for taking so many things into consideration and for translating Dice quickly. <3

    1. Also, on another note, since you said you'd read 5 chapters into each one to decide if yah or nah, I'd like to mention that some are impossible to understand within 5 chapters (Fairytale is a total mess until later on) and some don't even have 5 chapters translated as of now (Boarding House being recently picked up but released every few weeks, and Potion Mania and Bachelor Next Door having been dropped relatively soon after being started).
      Once again, thank you for taking the time to check stuff out for us anons. Much love.

    2. Hi Anon-
      I'm sorry if my words turn into an incorrigible mess here (sleep-deprivation and I are no strangers). Usually for the manhwas that I have no idea what's going on in the first 5 chapters, I continue reading on. I haven't encountered one as of yet, and I'm already acquainted with the slightly confusing ones. I'll add your suggestions onto the list a little later after I finish my essay, so don't be discouraged if I take a while to update the post.

    3. No problem, and thank you for taking your time. And don't worry, you didn't come across messily at all.

    1. Just a quick note: additional requests for manhwas will be added up and multiplied by 1.5 before being added to the algorithm (not really an algorithm, but let's just call it that)

      Delete
    2. Wait! Kubera's translation is only one chapter behind by Babo Kim Scans. I recommend City of Dead Sorcerer in it's place

  5. City of dead sorcerer would be awesome! Thank you for your amazing work until now!

  6. Not sure why words got spaced out, but looks like the link is still intact.

  7. You have 6.5 for Cheese in the trap so far~

    ongoing + 1
    < 30 chapters +3
    number of times requested (me) +1.5
    group working on it (oddsquad and naver) +1
    = 6.5

    Are you going to do a poll for this?

    2. Splicer here.

      Don't rise to that bait, Jin. No need for quotation marks, this series IS wordy. It's a very complicated space opera, with an incredibly big cast of characters. I am mildly interested in it - although I find it long-winded at times - but I'd never dare to challenge anyone to do it. It needs a lot of free time and great tenacity to plod through bubbles and more bubbles of small case tech-lingo. Unless you plan to spend one year in seclusion, I'd advise you not to touch it. It's the kind of thing that must be translated by a team or a dedicated translator working on nothing else.

  12. Please do
    Noru
    Chaser
    Aletheia

    Those webtoons were dropped a long while ago even though they're amazing in both art and story so far :(

    Also,
    Lessa the crimson knight

    it's pretty famous but on huge delay on the scanlation :(

    ReplyDelete
  13. I also want to say that City of a Dead Sorcerer is a great one that has fallen really behind by its scanlation group. EGScans is actually 45 chapters behind. Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School is another one that theyre so far behind on. Theres another 31 chapters to season 1 and 44 chapters to season 2. They just call dibs on so many more projects than they can handle.

    But yeah, those would be my number 1 and number 2 choice.

  14. -Red Storm
    -Trump
    -Black Behemoth
    Thx keep up the good work

  15. Red Storm is a good one. But I read on another forum that you need to be from Korea to have access to chapters 21-80 or something like that.

  16. hey jin kim, have u decided which ones u plan to take??

    1. Hi Anon,
      I'm going to post an update pretty soon. There was an overwhelming number of comments...
      All the ones I crossed out are still "in"- they just get less points.
      Wait, I lied. Trace 2.0 is out because the update rate doesn't seem too bad. But that's the only exception :)

  17. Please consider
    Cheese in the trap
    tower of god

    Thanks for putting all your effort in this webtoon ^^
