Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! Chapter 26

6

Heyas folks,

it was indeed an uphill battle. Some statistics to get an idea: 7500 words in 600 lines with 35k characters excluding blanks. Longest chapter I have done yet, but … It’s dead, Jim!

As for the title of the chapter… NO, I didn’t forget it! I just don’t think you want to be spoilered, so for those who reeeeeeaalllyy need to know the title, you can scroll down to the end of the chapter.

Well, all in all … quite the unusually exciting chapter for Hachinan and most likely the opening gong of a new arc, is my guess. ^^

Have fun reading chapter 26 here!

Recruitment

2

Heyas folks,

I am looking for a TLC (Translation Checker). Requirements would be sufficient knowledge of the Japanese language to understand difficult sentence structures. There is no nitpicking required, just checking whether the meaning intended by the author is transmitted correctly.

Thus the better your language knowledge, the easier it would be to just cross check the translation. Most likely a job of 20 – 40 minutes depending on chapter length, I would assume.

Of course translators are always welcome too. If you are one of those looking for a place to publish your works, just contact me.

And before anyone asks, no, I am not looking for any editors currently. 🙂

Greetingss,

Shasu

Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de – Chapter 7: It seems to be a defensive battle

1

Truly a climax chapter. Enjoy it

Here’s your weekly Nidoume dosis!

 

Yomigaeri no Maou – Chapter 24 is done and waiting for release. Time: Thursday 25th June at 8 PM GMT.

 

This blog post and the linked chapter were released automatically by WordPress. In case of encountering errors, please be patient with requesting fixes as I might currently NOT be online.

Hachi-nan

, 12

Heyas folks,

to avoid confusion and multiple claims I am posting this as a blog message.

The translator who was working on Hachi-nan put the series on hold for an undefined time. See here in the comments.

Since this is a project I wanted to do before anyway, I am going to pick up the series which will complete my weekly line up.

In case some of you are worried that I am overloading myself:

  • Kuro no Shoukan Samurai: time required per chapter: 3-5 hours (half day)
  • Nidoume no Jinsei wo Sekai de: time required per chapter: 7-9 hours (1 day)
  • Yomigaeri no Maou: time required per chapter: 14-18 hours (2 days)

Thus leaving me with quite a bit of leeway not including increase of speed as proficiency goes up with time.

As for exact release day and changes in entire schedule I will keep you up to date as soon as I got a feeling how the translation of Hachi-nan goes.

I will start from Chapter 31 after I finished Yomigaeri no Maou Chapter 24 (40% currently).

Over and out,

Shasu

New Series and Miscellaneous

0

Well one day has passed and the result of the poll is pretty much clearly for Kuro no Shoukan Samurai. Even waiting any longer wouldn’t change that result. Thus I will go with that one. 🙂

I removed the teaser category already and replaced it with the correct category reflecting the result. As I posted in the previous blog message the next chapter of  Kuro no Shoukan Samurai will be very likely tomorrow. Since the chapters are short up until now translation goes pretty fast for those. And yes, I decided to go with the Romaji version of the title to keep in line with the other 2 series and to portrait it being a Japanese novel.

As for other site changes, I added a donation button in the side menu. Feel free to use it or to ignore it. In case you do decide to donate, I shall take it as token of gratitude towards the time invested into translating the novels. However, donations have no influence on my releases, schedules or anything else at all (otherwise I would have called it commission instead of donation 😉 ).

Lastly, for those loving to know the current state of ongoing translations: Nidoume no Jinsei wo Sekai de Chapter 7 is translated and edited. I set it to automatically release on 23d June at 8 pm GMT. And no, I will not release it earlier because it is done already. I plan to stockpile some chapters so I have a bit more leeway later on down the road for either really long chapters or a side project and of course such nasty things such as RL.

 

Greetings,

Shasu

A question to all of you!

, 13

Heyas folks,

So today I wanted to get going translating my third series choice World Teacher which is another series being stalled for eternity by chapter releases in the 2-3 months range. But look there, the translator over there posted a week ago he is almost done with the next chapter. Unfortunately his PC froze a day ago though, taking part of his translation with it. But well .. he should be releasing soon … I think? … I hope?

Thus I gave up on that idea and checked out the alternative: Hachi-nan. Another great series struck by disappearing translators and/or slowpokes. And guess what … the translator over there announced a day or 2 ago he was working on the next chapter but his PC got blue screened and took his draft of the chapter with it.

Well, yea … right … I know … PCs do happen to freeze regularly. Even while typing this text I had about 3 reboots going … NOT!

Anyways, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place as I didn’t know what to do. Screw them and translate whatever I feel like? Wait and see what happens next? Or just pick a different series?

And then I was enlightened … if you can’t decide  … JUST ASK YOUR READERS!

And so here we are. I offer thee four choices to pick from:

  • World Teacher: I would take it up from Chapter 16 as supposedly chapter 15 will be released soon. You can check the series here.
  • Hachi-nan: I would just translate away from Chapter 31 ignoring whatever the other Translator claims to have done or not. Have a lookie here.
  • Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai: That series is stalled currently as the translation team stopped all life signs. Furthermore the series itsself is finished at 101 chapters since May this year. Well check it out here.
  • Black Summoner: A series which has no translator at all yet. It seemed rather interesting and it was ranked highly on Sousetska so I just translated the Synopsis and Chapter 1 of the series so you can have a look. Check out Chapter 1 here.

After deciding, please cast your vote below. The poll will run for 1 day. Comments are welcome.

Oh another note I forgot to mention:
Even if Black Summoner is chosen as series, I will still release Chapter 2 towards Sunday/Monday as promised for the next release date. Treat Chapter 1 as one off Teaser to help on the series selection. ^^

Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de – Chapter 6: It seems there is a storm ahead

0

Well let’s start this off with the first web novel I am going to pick up -> Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de

I have retranslated the entirety of chapter 6. Thus there will most likely be differences to yotsubasilvers version of part 1.

Notable change is Zion (Gundam anyone?) -> Shion

The author puts spells in <> brackets, so I will keep that. Furthermore skills will be in [] brackets.

I am translating most into english but certain words (in this case i.e. shinai) I will leave in its romaji version as it seems more appropriate.

Release time for Nidoume will be Wednesday +/- 1 day

That’s all of my rambling … here is the chapter.

 

Well have fun reading. ^^
