Wordpress blog for translating Japanese Light/Web novels
Heyas fellow readers,
originally I had planned to build up a bit of stock for the regular series this week as my editor-san for Hakai no Miko is enjoying a nice one-week-long vacation. But then I thought I should give you at least one chapter to chew on, especially as it’s an interesting chapter giving us more insights about the world’s setting.
Well, if you want to read the edited version, you have to wait of course. For all others:
Heyas folks,
with this chapter we start into volume 3 of the Light Novel, the last one that was released. In the ToC you can find the new cover picture and in the glossary the new character presentation.
The chapter was edited by Marco.
I’m still looking for an editor or two for this series. Ideally, I’m planning to have a team of 2-3 editors help out with this series to lower the burden per person and to increase the accuracy. Requirements: Native English, dedication for a long-term project and availability on a regular basis. You can contact me via mail at [email protected] or chat me up on Discord. 🙂
Heyas folks,
this one is fairly long, so I split it into two parts. I added at the end of the chapter part a meagre attempt to explain the different parts of Shuuya’s weapon as it gets at times confusing during battles.
The chapter was edited by Kelechi and Marco.
Heyas folks,
let’s start with a new chapter, a really long one at that which took me quite a good while to translate.
Going by its length it would be reasonable to split it in 5 parts, but as I’d like to avoid splitting chapters any further than into 4 parts, let’s go with 4 long parts.
Thanks to DarqSan, Samuel and Sniper for editing this chapter!
Heyas folks,
some of the older followers of my blog might wonder what my schedule plans are now that Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de is back in business. Thus I thought I will give you a short run-down on my future schedule.
Hachinan tte, sore wa nai deshou! – A regular mainstay in its Sunday slot. It will be released in parts. If you want to read ahead, check my Patreon.
The Spearmaster and the Black Cat – A new mainstay in the Friday slot. Most of the times I will release entire chapters but as a few chapters get as long as lower-end Hachinan chapters, those will be split in parts. For reading ahead, you have to consult my Patreon.
Summoned Slaughterer – Originally a mainstay but with a dwindling reader-base it has been delegated into a shared Saturday slot. Unfortunately the number of readers for this series has dropped sharply over time. Originally I planned to translate the second season as well, but that has been called off now as I don’t intend to translate novels if hardly anyone wants to read them. This series will finish at season 1 which has still 24 chapters left.
Hakai no Miko – My personal favourite. It will stay on an irregular release schedule for now. As the chapters are mostly short I can handle them after coming home from work during the week. As keeping it that way worked in the series’ favour, I will keep it like that for now. Of course that means that there might be some weeks with no releases and others with 1-3 releases.
Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de – Until the end of Summoned Slaughterer it will stay on a irregular release schedule. Though I will try to release a chapter at least once every two weeks. Might be more depending on my mood. Once Summoned Slaughterer ends, it will get the weekly Saturday slot.
Kakei Senki wo Kakageyo! – Now this one’s a difficult case, in various meanings. The material is definitely difficult. The author uses a highly prosaic and archaic manner of writing. This makes the translation slow, even if the chapters are short. Adding to that, hardly anyone reads the novel, sadly. So this one will be on a very irregular release schedule ranging from once every 1-3 months.
I think that should clear up some questions. I’m still looking for an active editor who speaks native English for Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de. So hit me up, if you are interested in helping out. You can easily find me on our Discord server. 🙂
Greetings,
Shasu
Heyas folks,
as we are slowly but steadily closing in on the end of the series, I was wondering whether anyone would be willing to make some pdfs/epubs with illustrations etc. If you are interested in putting the chapters together in a LN-like format, contact me at [email protected]
