Where are all the good translators at?
Most translators walked away because we doesn't pay them anymore.
Google is paying $27485 to $29658 consistently for taking a shot at the web from home. I joined this action 2 months back and I have earned $31547 in my first month from this action. I can say my life has improved completely! Take a gander at what I do..........http://Jobsforhome123.gq/

Mute Basically translators are freelance workers assigned to a novel. Webnovel then decides the novel isn't lucrative enough and cancels all further translation on the novel. If there is a stockpile they'll keep releasing them with privilege etc and pretend it's still active until translations stop one day with no announcement. At the point the translator is instructed to stop translating the novel they can either take a chance on a new novel and hope it's lucrative enough for Webnovel, translate unpaid or quit.
With translations pie is split into many pieces with webnovel taking a large % cut, then paying licensing fees to it's parent company (Qidian), then 30% google store cut, payment processors etc so to be technically profitable to Webnovel is a steep hurdle and thus most novels are eventually culled unless they're really successful.
Instead Webnovel has pivoted to original novels as they've discovered they don't need to pay people to write them (i.e. no translation costs) and there are no licensing costs so Webnovel has no upfront expenses and a higher profit margin. This means they're actively diverting new traffic to original novels that reduces profitability of translated works even more.
Mute trying to work for a living because translators get paid shit for the amount of time they out into it
SleepingOtter Lonelytree translated My House of Horrors and I think they're translating Plague Doctor too.
King_Of_Loneliness He has another website where he posts 2 other horror translations too.

Hello! I have been working as a translator for a couple of years and it is quite an interesting job. I recently decided to change jobs and then turned to resume writers , as I understand that without a good resume it is difficult to find a job with good conditions. But I succeeded, thanks to them!
