IMPORTANT UPDATE :-
Hello Guys, Translator this side. I am extremely sorry about the no updates till now. But I felt that this novel is an extreme historical novel, and it needs to be translated very properly as well as proofreading it 2-3 times so that the names, pronouns, tenses, etc do not mix up. With all this needs, as well as my other ongoing translations, I took a break from it.
And Now I am Back, I will start translating this novel and then put up a schedule. But before that, I want help of some readers of this novel who are good at English and can help me proofread the chapters I translate.
What does Proofread the chapters mean?
Ans: It means that you will just have to read the chapters and correct if it has any mistakes, such as wrong names, pronouns, or any other error.
Once you review it, I will post the chapters.
What will you gain?
Ans : 1) Early access to all the chapters.
2) Experience of being an editor/proofreader.
What will I gain ?
Ans: More properly edited chapters from the reader’s point of view and some friends <3
