Can you guys recommend one title from your list for the task #20?

I'd recommend Otona Keikenchi, Porno Superstar and its spin-off - Shiny Star, which from what I read, unfortunately, is dropped.

Oh ho ho

First of all. Thanks guys for answering my question

 

I love your suggestions. I've read half of it though :)

Well now,

you know what? I love Miyamoto Kano works. Nemureru Tsuki being one of them. Though sometimes His works left me with down feeling for the rest of the day. Still I love his works.

I don't remember reading Shiawase Gohan, feels like I've been avoiding it. But I'll check it out. As for New York New York. I'm sure I never read it. In fact I tend to avoid reading works that's for me looks too heavy. That's said, I'm going to check it soon

the butler thingy I've read it before and I love it. I'm going to revisit it one of these day. As for Nani ka Ii no Mitsuketa from the description I think I need to check it out because the description is unfamiliar to me.

I love Tenzen Momoko works. I'm pretty sure I read that before. And Akuma no Himitsu, I just rediscover it yesterday. I'm going to check on both of them.

both the story and art are very special and might feel strange... but somehow beautiful. but i have to warn you, like most of the stuff i read it is rather dark :D.

 

but if you are open for something different you will enjoy reading it!

LOL now that you say so... I forgot XD

Well... hmmm... a nother weird one... after reading this I guess everything else felt normal... :D

The manga MW was good... I think it had a unusual plot and the art waan’t Typical manga-like so that might be something worth looking at. But it isn’t weird as the first one I recommended.

Aww! Shot!

Get better soon

. Are you ok now?

 

Well, I have several questions, but take your time answering. And sorry for disturbing your rest time :leaf4:

 

1. Don't laugh at me, ok! Does web novel count as a light novel? I have one chinese web novel in my mind and it has 700+ chapters

 

2. If the light novel has more than one volume, do I have to finish all of them? Well you see Only the ring finger know has 5 vol. And I want to use it for task #22

 

3. Can I start several task on the same day but finished it on several different dates? Actually just today I started task #59, #22, #18. #18 is done. But as per rules. I'm still marked it as On progress. And also I seem to found some treasure there that quite fit for the task but I can't finish them in one sitting. And I like to fluttering from one read to another read. So it's possible for me to start reading several different titles at the same day.

 

4. Regarding task #38, can you tell me where to look? Which thread I have to search? Don't laugh! All this year I'm on YO, I only ever patroning novel download sector, forum contest or the introduction thread. I guess I need to start reading other threads

 

5. Regarding task #37, how do I know the authors dropped their manga? :leaf10:

 

6. I've been thinking on asking this, it's ok right, if my chosen manga still on going? Not complete yet, both translation and ori release

 

I'm sure these two have enough color for the 'Blue' and 'Yellow' task

> 1. ..A hard question. Web novels/mobile novels...they are basically original stories [we put aside fanfictions here]. If we have to be strict about it, no - they are not light novels. However, they are original stories. And the web novel you have in mind, which has 700+ chapters, is a novel [i suppose] you already started reading, or had read in the past? If so, pick something else. For one, it is a web novel and it has to be something you haven't read before.

 

2. No, you don't have to finish all volumes/books. One book/volume is enough.

3. Yes, you can read several titles per day and start them on the same day; the only rule is that they can't be finished on the same day OF STARTING the titles.

4. You pick one section from here:

. After that, when you enter the section, you will see a lot of threads. You can check a thread's view count by

5. You research basically. In fact, all of the tasks in this challenge are about researching and engaging yourself in conversations with other fans, to find more info and such. The main purpose of the challenge actually - to gather people together.

6. As long as your manga titles fit the main criteria administrated under the task's number - you are cool to go, even if it's an on-going manga.

7. Yes, the 'Blue' and 'Yellow' are enough. (;

Hello

Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

For task #37, I have been researching on mangaupdates for dropped manga. Must it stand dropped manga on "Status in Country Origin" on mangaupdates? Some manga it's says discontinued, complete/discontinued, hiatsu, dropped, N/A or ongoing (but it has been a long time since last update).

 

I have picked some example from mangaupdates with link that I have found:

Perhaps it's safer to choose manga that say dropped or discontinued....?

It's me again

 

 

I have a few questions regarding the tasks:

 

Does Intoxicated East Wind by Xiao Lin Zi and Wang Yi qualify for 44. Chinese manga?

Does Caged Slave by Takamura Yuiko and Kanae An qualify for 22. light novel?

Does Kawaii Akuma by Madarame Hiro qualify for 28. a title with the chara being super popular?

 

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

 

 

I hope you have a lovely day! :)

> A good find. If you want to be 100% sure you are using a title which is dropped by origin -> yeah.

Although these which have gone on hiatus, 99% of the time die out. So..many people know that 'hiatus' equals 'dropped'.
