User pandafuq has started translating the sequel to Douluo Dalu, called a close approximation to Douluo Dalu 2: Exceptional Tang Sect, and has already finished the prologue.
Before I post the link, I should let you know that DD2 contains major spoilers for DD1, the prologue alone has spoilers the size of a Titan Giant Ape. If you have any concerns about spoilers and haven’t already read through the rest of DD1 with MTL or other means, do not click this link.

Of course, as many have pointed out, by the time DD1 is finished there should be quite a few chapters of the sequel ready.
Thanks for sharing this with us, I’m gonna be here with you guys leeching for a long time hehe

Well hopefully we don’t have to wait too long till Douluo Dalu 1 is done. I appreciate the work very much. I know im a little spoiled by how fast ren translates so everyone else feels slow.

Even if we can keep up the pace, we’re still years away from a conclusion.

I know, even if you did a chapter a day it would take over a year, i would suggest that you find someone willing to work on the later chapters or do every other chapter with you to double the pace, but that probably wouldnt be that easy to find.

Sorry it would take around a year from start to finish if a chapter a day was done, i thought there were more chapters than there are. But yeah at the current pace it would take a minimum of 2 more years, probably closer to 3.
Couldnt edit so i posted this here instead.

No it would be complete long before a year if they did a chapter a day there is only 333 chapters and 88 chapters have been completed

Request for change on the site.
Hello.
For reading light novel use of the additive called Readable (readable.tastefulwords.com) is a great addition unfortunately, because how a light novel is displayed on your website, Readable is not working.
Is there a chance to change the way the chapters do not display in the “window”, but as part of the site?
LikeLike
Not really. For my convenience and to avoid having to make edits in multiple locations, the chapters are posted using iframes that link directly to the source document. Unfortunately this version of WordPress doesn’t support the switches necessary to make them useful.
I’ve started adding Direct Links to the published versions of the Google Doc, and those should work with Readable. Adding them to the early chapters is still a WIP, though.

well… here’s a couple of things!!! first of all… I honestly am out of light novels to read… i don’t know what to read… so i’m really really tempted to read DD2….
on the other hand… i really would rather not to spoil what’s to come in DD1….
so I was wondering… can you tell me like how many chapters are left of DD1? if there aren’t that many, and within a few months it’s finished, I would rather wait…. if it’s not finished for like a year or 2… i think i’d rather read it especially since i have nothing else to read…
and thanks for letting us know btw.

Thank you for all your effort at translating DD thus far. My only question is this, and you may have answered this somewhere else already, but when you finish DD are you going to start DD2? Especially with the appearance of this new TL.
LikeLike
I have no intention of starting on DD2, especially now that someone is TLing it. If I ever finish DD, I might go on to working mostly on Law of the Devil or maybe Douluo Dalu 3, unless someone has picked them up first.

Still, assuming it maintains a level of quality and keeps my interest that is a very heartening thought as I love to read. Especially when long series are involved because that means I don’t have to go looking for something new quite as often.

Hi kyle here, so I’ve been waiting for pandatranslation to do the doulou dalu 2 light novel translation but I think due to some rude comments they decided to drop the translation. I know it’s not easy to translate (if it was I’d be doing it myself) so I can’t help but be thankful for your time and patience for doing what you do but I beg and plead please if they dropped it could u guys pick it up because it’s such a goooood book. I know you guys are busy doing stuff and such.
