You know, if we were to map out the world of web novel translators in chuunibyou terms, you’d sort of have the Gravity Commonwealth, the Alyschu Federation, and naturally the Wuxiaworld Empire as the really big players. They’d be the ones with heaps of treasures, and heaps of high-quality top-tier experts.
I guess beneath them, you’d have the relatively large nations with mixed-quality experts, like the RTD Confederation, and the Re:Translations Bandit-Tribe-in-the-Mountains Chiefdom.
Go even further down, and only then do you have small nations like the Kingdom of Scrya, the Kingdom of Ziru, and the Kingdom of Oniichanyamete where far from having a mixed bag of experts, they only have a single one sustaining the entire country.
Indeed… Oniichanyamete has always been supported by the illustrious but solitary and somewhat lazy Estelion.
But no more!
For today, a second, slightly crappier expert has appeared amongst our ranks! And if Chinese web novels have taught me anything, when a second expert appears in a crappy kingdom with only a single expert, he is actually the protagonist, and drags the kingdom upwards in a meteoric rise!
Let us applaud Sir Jaon for being the second expert to appear within our borders and hope for great things from him!
All hail Sir Jaon!!!!!

So the new translator is directly calling himself a protagonist?

I suddenly realised I mistyped “Estelion”, now I’m suffering trying to figure out whether “Estelle” is some character’s name or I was just sleepy. See, that’s the divine punishment you get for disrespective attitude, so you’d better learn the proper name and delete your comment until His Majesty noticed.
