Hi all I now have Love Sky scheduled to post a new chapter every morning at 8:00 AM. Please kindly mind the TWs. It is again a fairly short novel, so I expect we will move on to My Beast ❤ which I believe sequentially follows it early next month.

Hi all I have all of Love Storm scheduled with the two special episodes releasing on Sunday morning. Translating this one was a very interesting experience, because so many friends who love the drama have speculated in very different ways about Payu's understanding of Rain and Rain's naivety. The novel answers all of those questions... Though this is much shorter than many of MAME's other works, still takes us on a wild ride. 
          
          The novel takes place probably in late 2018. While it doesn't have to be read after test love and try me, it does help to understand that this is very much Nai Pakin's universe.

@BLReader516 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Although I have the official ebook of this, I am really loving your translation - especially as you keep all the thai honorifics which I think really add to the overall setting. I feel very spoiled with so many updates and novels to follow!!

Personal opinion... Khaen is a terrier (Jack Russell type), Dear is a Pomeranian, Graffic is a German Shepherd, and Rain is a Chihuahua.

Good morning, I went through My Accidental Love Is You and updated the spellings of Dear, Ryu, and Porche's names throughout to match what is in Test Love. I also updated chapter 16, as somebody thought a couple of lines might be missing.

Sleep? I don't need sleep when there is Tinn/Khaen to fangirl over (though maybe I will finish Sugar Addict first...)

@Mintcoloursmile I too think I need a reread. This was the first BL I translated, and I have learned so much.

I see you're adding the uncut chapters so this is my cue to reread and unleash a barrage of comments at you on this platform as I have many feelings for this novel

I finished scheduling the first 20 chapters of Try Me: PakinGrap by MAME today. That takes the story through  October 7th.  The current schedule is for one new chapter at 10 AM every morning. I have done my best to keep the translation as true to Khun Mame's writing style as possible well acknowledging significant cultural differences. If you choose to read it please mind the trigger warnings. Also note that unlike in every online chart for the MAME Universe I have seen, Pakin and Win are first cousins and not Brothers. The more precise Thai description of the relationship is something like child of a parent's older sibling, and I think that means that Win is the child of Pakin's father's older sister.
          
          Please let me know if any passages need clarification.

@BLReader516 yes it got a bit confusing. Seen was also sometimes transliterated to Sean. I personally prefer Shin for Chonnon as he has partial Japanese heritage and this spelling also works for a similar name in that language.

@Mintcoloursmile I was skimming back through the previous translation and noticed that the first two names were both translated to Chin?

BLReader516

These are three distinct characters.
            ซีน Seen AKA ศิรภพ Siraphop
            ชิน Shin AKA ชนนน Chonnon
            ซัน Sun AKA ซันนี่ Sunny

Hi Everyone,
          
          I finished scheduling the chapters for volume 1 of Test Love: Let's Try Loving Each Other by MAME today. That takes the story through Chapter 30 which will release on October 7th.  The current schedule is for one new chapter at 9 AM every morning. I have done my best to keep the translation as true to Khun Mame's writing style as possible. Please let me know if any passages need clarification.

As I am polishing my translation of the first 30 chapters (volume 1) of Test Love, this particular passage caught my attention.  It now makes sense that Khun MAME would want to back up and make Test Love into a drama before the Try Me novels. Anyhow, I hope to start releasing Test Love in the next week.

          “Âi Oatttttt! My printer is out of ink!”
          
          “And what does that have to do with me?”
          
          “Wow, friend. You answer like someone who really loves their friend. I have a presentation today, you know, Âi heartbroken. In a bit, I'll email it to you. Print it for me.” The voice of Âi Sai-fah complained over the line, making the person sitting on the steps of the main building frown sharply. He did feel sorry for him, but...
          
          “I'm at the university now.”
          
          “Hmm. What the hell are you doing there now? Class isn't for over an hour. Freshman orientation is over, you know. Don't have to worry about any freshmen seeing you.” Âi Sai-fah said surprised. Hearing his voice, he knew that as soon as he agreed to handle the printing, someone like him was ready to flop down and go back to sleep at any moment.
          
          Usually, he'd just walk to a copy shop around here. But today he was genuinely busy.
          
          “Have a little business...you should pry your sh*t-filled eyes open, wash your face, brush your teeth, and quickly find a print shop.
          
          Or tell Âi Payu to help. He wakes up early."
          
          “Help what, you're yelling Phii? He just finished his project, and fell died-asleep around 5 AM. I helped him glue until 3 AM. If I become a glue-sniffing kid, it's because of my twin brother!” An answer that made Oat laugh in his throat. He could picture these two perfectly. But today, he really couldn't help.
          
          “Let's say I'm busy. That's all.”
          
          “Hey! You d*mn Oatttttttttt!”

Thank you for translating ♥️
            I've been waiting for an English translation for a long time. I tried to read it google translated but it wasn't that great. From this novel my favorite pairing is Shin & Oat. (Will you translate the novel Oatshin Diary as well?)

          I would love to hear from all of you about what Thai BL novels you would like to read but have not found English translations for. My hard limit is nothing NC17 that involves people below the age of consent, and I prefer any BDSM to be SAFE, SANE, and CONSENSUAL.

BLReader516

@Mintcoloursmile Yah. I hear you. There is usually something super dubious in Thai BL novels. Though I am not sure if the age will phase Thai audiences. The Techno and Kengkla story did get injected into the LBC drama despite it belonging in a completely different novel. In Thailand, age of consent is 15 and legal majority is 20. Age Graph by a year or even 3 years. That is not going to fix all of the other dubious events in the plot.
            
            Still though, it is not Yoe Nim level badness.

@BLReader516 lolllll surely they'd need to change a whole lot of the plot as there's for sure some super dubious elements in those novels (age up Graph at least 5 years...) but I'd love to see this as a series

Thank you so much for your amazing translations I've been looking for these books for ages!! Do you have them as PDF files by any chance? Or do you also upload anywhere else? I'm just paranoid that they'll disappear!

Mintcoloursmile

Thank you!!! You're a very talented translator and I'm really loving reading so far. I'll stalk all your accounts now for updates.
