I would like to recommend Key of the Sunken Moon or Chen Yue Zhi Yao written by Shui Quan (not just for shameless advertisement 
). I really love reading this series. It makes me happy and feel good about myself! (maybe for all the wrong reasons though.. XD) It's a comedy and fantasy novel about an extremely unfortunate guy (who by the way is named Fan Tong, which sounds really similar to a rice bucket in Chinese XD) who constantly finds himself in quite a few interesting predicaments. Anyways, if you are looking to laugh at another's misfortune, then this is the light novel for you! Honestly, I can't stop laughing when reading this! XD
Here is the description I copied and pasted from Giraffe Corps! (where this is currently being translated, also translating Gong Hua by Yu Wo ^-^)

“Fan Tong is a fine young man, a representative of today’s youthful generation. Due to a witch’s curse, antonyms randomly replace the words he wants to say…”
“Rewrite it.”
“Fan Tong, a fortune teller with heaven-blessed talent, is afflicted with Word Reversal Syndrome. For every nine sentences out of ten that he speaks, the words change into the opposite of their intended meanings thanks to the curse of a random old lady who couldn’t stand being called an aunt…”
“Aren’t you embarrassed reading this?”
“Fan Tong, a person who died for some reason, brought this curse to another world. In this odd universe where the dead can be revived, die, and revive again, how should he live? Can he become a hero? Is his mission to save the world?”
“Stop your wishful thinking.”
“Fan Tong… I’m not writing anymore! Why do I have to write an introduction? This isn’t in my job description!”
“……”
As an ordinary civilian, Fan Tong never thought he’d suddenly wake up in another world and be told that he had died.
To live in this world, Fan Tong must adapt to a new way of life and stop himself from getting killed every other day. In addition, he also has to control his accursed mouth, improve his human relations, and make reliable friends.
“My dad told me that a man should torture his friends well and make them cry.”
“…Can I stop being your friend, Fan Tong?”
“Rewrite it.”

yeah.. the updates are a bit slow, but we got new proofreaders so hopefully that'll speed things up^-^ Also I thought the Spanish novel you're currently translating sounded really interesting as well. Currently, I can't start anything new since I have a bunch of papers to write ; ; but it's definitely on my to read list ! Keep up the great work
