New External Link category: WN Raw URL / LN Raw URL

[KiTA]

I have a tendency to add the WN Raw Links to various mangas that have been popping up, mostly of the Isekai or Fantasy variety. However there's no option for "WN Raw URL" or "Original Novel URL" or what have you under External Links. Is this something that could be added?

How common is this?

If it's quite common, we'll consider it

I'd like to think it's pretty common, but I'm biased. Maybe someone else's feedback would be better.

For example, just from a quick search on the Isekai tag:

[ul]Bookworm
NewLife+
World Customize Creator (LN instead of WN links)
Inspector
The Abandoned Hero is Going Home
Black Summoner
Mythical Spirit Chronicle (Has link to the English WN translation)
Shinka no Mi[/ul]

Hm. So maybe 40-50% of them?

I would like "raw LN/WN" link. However in my opinion it would be actual just for Isekai/fantasy/adventure and some similar genres.

Other things like romance/comedy/action are usually original or adopted from other media (games, anime).

IMO

Hm... maybe not "raw LN/WN" link, but something like "Adapted from". Then you can put there whatever you like - link to raw WN, link to oficial site of anime or game, etc.

This would be more relevant to the Franchise entries, not Manga

All manga I currently translate are based on WNs, so I would second this proposal. It would apply to probably 50%, if not more, of the most popular manga currently on the site. All that fantasy/isekai trash.
