Quick note to the prev manhwa suggestion

Sorry, but I don't think I'll pick up Fable. The author hasn't updated any posts on his blog it and I don't want to take on a project that's on an extended hiatus. If it gets updates in the near future, I'll pick it up.

Also, I'm always willing to pick up new manhwa as long as it's good.
Note: I haven't checked out how frequent the releases are for the crossed out manhwas- if they're very slow, I'll still keep them on the list.

List of Recs:
A Lullaby For the Moon*
American Exodus*
Banquet Box A group is already translating it
Black Behemoth
Black Haze
Cheese in the Trap*
City of Dead Sorcerer*+++
Free Draw+
Flow  A group is already translating it.
Gepetto++  A group is already translating it.
Lessa
Love Revolution
Nowhere Boy*++
Pale Horse+  A group is already translating it
Peak
Red Storm
Treasure Hunter++
Trump++
Underprin*++
Wake Up Deadman*
Witch Hunt
What's There to Know

*Just marking the ones I'm acquainted with/have looked over.        + # of recs

  3. Thank you for doing translating this! Do you know a webtoon called "The Pale Horse" ? That's one of my favorites :D

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm also reading the pale horse, but yeah someone is already translating it so I don't know how much sense it would make for him to pick this one up.
    Btw. Congrats on 50'000+ Viewers :D It rose so fast from merely 500 people and MS Paint like chapters to the awesome work you're doing now :) keep up the good work

      Same with me. (Well, I am also crazy about DICE and will sell my soul to anyone who translates it this fast.)

    4. Comment owner here :)
      It's the same with me I loved dice the first time I read it, but then there were almost no releases but I kept searching on google after the translation of the next chapter and one day X heard my prayers and presented me with this blog. Four of my friends who didn't like Dice in the beginning are now addicted to it and I'm the same haha I keep checking this blog every day because you never know maybe there will be an early release like last week :D

  5. Hey,

    First of all, thanks for doing this! It's really appreciated! ^^ Hope you keep it up.
    Secondly, as for suggestions, would you consider taking up Americano Exodus and A Lullaby For the Moon (Dalsez)? They're pretty good, imo!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I recommend City od Dead Sorcerer since the other translation teams seem to have dropped it

    ReplyDelete
  7. Holy %$&#, it would be amazing to see Treasure Hunter get picked up!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Which manhwa were you referring to that hasn't updated? Just curious.

    ReplyDelete
  9. 'Trace 2.0' of Daum, and 'Cheese in the Trap' of Naver, both are manhwa series that are amazing and need some love. If you can find time, please do give them a look.

  10. YES!!!!!! The raws of season 2 on look amazing. People keep saying thcmpny is translating it so no one wants to do it, but they havent done any of it in A LOOONG time.

  11. Splicer here.

    If you really go for new series, I would like to see the conclusion of Nowhere Boy, it was dropped at a horrible cliffhanger…

    1. Oh yeah, totally forgot about that!

      Did it end?

      Delete
    2. Another one! Oh man, it felt like it was right at the end and dropped. Someone's doing Familyman, and maybe they'll finish off Nowhere Boy when that's done.

  13. Hey there Jin Kim.

    Just a new guy here who has recently discovered your new blog translations. Really appreciate the work

    I was wondering if you might want to take up "City of the Dead Sorcerer" and "Gepetto"

    Here are the links to it on Naver so it is easier for you to see.

    City of Dead Sorcerer: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list.nhn?titleId=409629&no=1&weekday=tue

    Gepetto: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/list.nhn?titleId=440244

    Thanks!

  16. Trump is really good. very intriguing.
    Underprin so far has been good as well.
    If you have the time I would also like to recommend those two

    ReplyDelete
  17. I would suggest Flow - Manhwa. It is a pretty good one. Good art, characters, and story line

    ReplyDelete
  18. City of dead sorcerer would be awesome !

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'd highly recommend going with City of Dead Sorcerer out of everything you listed although that's just my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Gepetto is pretty cool. Reminds me of the Matrix

    ReplyDelete

    1. Splicer here.

      Gepetto is being done by someone else. There was a release just today.

      Delete
  25. Gepetto is already being scanlated/translated by another group. Just a FYI if youu're thinking of picking that one up

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm surprise nobody mentions Lessa :( the Line webtoon is really slow on this manhwa.. really wish someone would pick it up though...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, I could not agree more. I want to know what's next already for Lessa: The Crimson Knight.

      I also recommend City of Dead Sorcerer.

  27. Hi let me start saying that I really appreciate the effort you put in DICE.
    I'm also a very big fan of NOWHERE BOY, but I couldn't find the chapters after 28, and I would really like to know the ending (I think it ends at chapter 32). Even if you don't intend to pick it up can you please tell me where is possible to find the corean version of the last chapters?
    Thank you very much

    1. Hi Anon, Nowhere Boy is a Naver Book from Chapter 11 and onwards. Hence, you have to buy the chapters with a naver account (which you can only make if you have a Korean phone number). I'm trying to get the raws from a contact in Korea as of now. We'll see how it works out :)

    2. Wow, that's great! Nowhere Boy left me hanging with all those flying elephants and all.

  28. I was wondering if you could take a look at Red Storm and Black Behemoth translation are coming out slow like 1 a month if not slower.
    THANKS for dice.
    Cheers.

  29. City of Dead Sorcerer please :)! I desperately need translations :D.

  30. Splicer here.

    The Pale Horse is also being scanlated by another team, there was a release today.

    ReplyDelete
  31. About Gepetto, Splicer, do you know if the other group is going to be translating it on a weekly basis or something? Last time I checked, there were like 30 untranslated chapters, so IDK if they are that dedicated

    ReplyDelete

    1. Splicer here.

      No, I don't know, I was just giving information that can help Jin decide.

      I suppose for a blog that began translating a manhwa that other groups had been doing, simply being already scanlated is not a decisive criterion for rejecting a series. However, I believe it is not realistic to expect weekly releases from all series Jin eventually decides to pick up. Since for manhwa being done by others speed is important (otherwise, what's the point?), maybe Jin will prefer to pick truly neglected series for his next projects, especially if he intends not to be pressed for time. DICE will go on being the top priority here, I believe.

      However, this is pure speculation. As the translator, Jin has final say on these matters.

    2. oh. I didn't mean anything towards Jin. I was just wondering if that other translated group had a schedule or something. I completely respect he is doing this out of his own time. Thanks for the response though.

    3. Hi Anon,
      Gepetto is being translated by Easy Going Scans (egscans.com).
      I'm not sure how fast their releases (they don't have a cleaner for the series).
      Hope this somewhat help

      Delete
    4. And yes, the Splicer is correct.
      I have no qualms about picking up a series that's already being translated if the releases are slow.
      The manhwa list is pretty long, though, so it'll be taken into consideration but definitely not as a decisive factor.

      Delete
  32. Cheese in the trap was being translated by oddsquad but I *think*(not sure) they've stopped now because naver is doing it. Naver is also translating Dice but they're sooo far behind and slow. Cheese in the trap would be good but I don't know if you'd want to do it because it's been translated up to season 3 chapter 32.

    Thank you Jin, Splicer, and Kfnmaph for your hard work! :]
