Manhwa + Co.

Edit: Just a road map of how things are going to work for the next few months. Check the calendar.
-Nowhere Boy: completed series, only 8 or 9 chapters untranslated.
-Treasure Hunter: completed series, will be translating season ONE
-Red Storm: I'm not sure how to deal with this one. SilentSky Scans has weekly updates and my updates will be weekly. If I can't release quickly enough, this may be dropped. As for now, I'll be translating it.

1) Nowhere Boy
2) Treasure Hunter
3) Red Storm

Will be working on the 3 in chronological order.

And to clarify for the poll, sfx stands for sound effects.

  3. Really surprised to learn City of Dead Sorcerer didn't make it into the top 3 with the huge number of votes it had. But regardless, as long as you continue to do DICE I'm happy.

    1. Splicer here.

      Votes weren't the only criterion, as you can see in the "Manhwa" post. Size of the backlog and Jin's own interest, for example, also played a role.

    2. Well of course votes weren't the only criterion, but if you look at the algorithm Jin posted, votes were the only factor there that had a multiplicative effect for each vote their was. I'm not going to go back and count them, but I believe there were around 8 to 16 votes total for CoDS. This would equal somewhere between 12 and 24 points being added on to the point total. Even if Jin somehow had zero interest in the series, going just off of the algorithm he posted, CoDS should easily still have made into the top three.

      Now I'm not trying to say that Jin should do series that he's not interested in. Even if he ultimately decided not to use the posted algorithm to rank the suggested series, that's also fine. I'm just saying it's very surprising to me if he DID use the algorithm that he posted, that CoDS did not make it into the top three.

      Anyway, I'll take this opportunity to thank Jin, you, and Kfnmaph for your work on DICE thus far. Like I said before, I'm happy regardless of what other series Jin picks up as long as he continues to work on DICE.

      Ah, I understand, I didn't run the algorithm myself to check. In any case, don't worry about DICE, we've actually already started the latest chapter (however, no promises on release!)

    1. Good. If no one is going to read it, they won't have to cope with criticism from your ilk, and will be able to work just for personal pleasure as they have been doing so far.
