Google tl adds a lot of flavour

At this moment, jasmine in shock to find that she completely underestimated this person. His body is weak, his mysterious force small bear, but this time, he has shown a completely inconsistent with these terrorist willpower. Previously, she had been puzzled with why the treasure as Tien day will actually poison beads attached to such a low, but the humans again, this time, she began to feel …… does not seem to disappear day spiritual poison beads , but not a day of spiritual poison bead gone mad ……

Over the past quarter of an hour and a half ……

Che’s body covered with dark clouds suddenly flashing pattern rapist from red brilliance, and his facial features are distorted when he finally began to ease off a little.

[Suddenly, Lovecraft!]

When “Three hundred years ago, it was exploring a dangerous legacy left by ancient land, we found a very old ancient inscribed a message: ancient times, there is a process called ‘Cthulhu’ true God He is the era of the gods fall last true God, his fall, also means that the era of the real end of the gods. And when the fall of Cthulhu, leaving a drop of Cthulhu source of power contains the blood of his immortal …… ”

“If we can get this drop of immortal blood, into the body, the mysterious veins into force will be derived Cthulhu!”

Sorry for the wait, guys. I had this half-done a week ago, but lost the motivation to finish it.

Over the last few days, I’ve been spending my free time reading. Not just translated Chinese novels of course, but raw Japanese stuff too. I recently finished something I could describe as,

‘Kenkyo ~ Inferior Fantasy Edition: Now With Harem’

and well, it was great. But there was nothing amazing throughout the entire series. Well, not to say that Kenkyo has any amazing moments either, but Kenkyo is cuter and longer.
The protagonist in this is a bit of a monkey, which is a first I guess.

Hm. I guess it was inferior because she collected harem members (male and female) who each had their own mini-arc, but one the last one was collected, it was just a long epilogue chapter and that was that. I guess there wasn’t enough everyday life for me, and it ended more quickly than I’d have liked.

I mean, I did enjoy the ride, but I suppose it ended as a mediocre series before I had time to really warm up to all the characters. So I don’t think I’ll be translating it. If I hadn’t already 4 projects, then I’d pick it up for sure, but… yeah.

If anyone out there is looking for something cute to pick up, try this. It’s complete at 35 chapters of varying length.

Pros:
– The protagonist is amusing in her own way.
– The characters are all colourful and lovable.

Cons:
– There are no amazing scenes. There are some strong feels, but never anything really amazing happening.
– It might take a while to translate, but when you read it, it feels like it ends too quickly.

?
– The protagonist is basically a big monkey. A cheerful idiot that hates studying and likes to climb trees.
– One of her female friends is seriously plotting to cancel MC’s engagement, and elope with her.
– Bonus points for adding the original game heroine to her harem.

World-Changing Realisation

So it turns out that Google Translation isn’t complete garbage. All this time I thought it was completely retarded, but it turns out that Japanese is just overly contextual with Devil’s Language syntax.

I think even 60-70% of the meaning of Chinese can come through!

Truly a marvellous invention. I’ll never use ‘google translation’ as an insult again.

Against The Gods, Xian Ni and Martial God Asura are all so fun!

Glad I took the break to read them.

Will probably be translating again starting uh, tomorrow? Maybe?

EDIT: Everytime I start reading a new series, I keep getting reminded of how much more fun it is to be on the reading side of things. Makes me want to quit translating, and just f5 aho-updates during my free time instead, haha.

EDIT2: I wish Ren had picked up Against The Gods instead on that day when he first started translating Coiling Dragon. I mean, I know he wouldn’t make as much money since the series is probably shorter and there aren’t as many people drooling over OP MC, but still, all the characters in Coiling Dragon are so… boring? Underdeveloped? I still basically have no idea what kind of person Delia is outside of ‘supportive of her husband’, ‘not socially retarded’,’not afraid to go get what she wants’, and ‘gentle with her husband’.

If I could remove the 12 volumes of Coiling Dragon from my memory in exchange for just 1 volume of Against the Gods, I’d still gladly do it lol.

EDIT3: Sixth hour of refreshing Alychu. Against the Gods 35 still on 0/6. Why oh why did I ragequit Chinese School…?

Status Report and Announcement and Poll

Announcement

  1. The very last announcement that I made was to reassure people that Hiyono’s official stance was that he would not be intending on dropping Isekai.
  2. I have never complained about El〇〇ion on this blog.
  3. I did make some off-handed comments about all the problems with him, to explain why I felt that he was a funny person. It was on Reddit.
  4. The updates on the Elion situation on this blog were because I thought people would find them amusing. I always laughed with childish glee when one of my friends linked me on Skype or IRC with updates on how his business (lol) was going, so I assumed people here would find it similarly amusing.
    The things that I post here are basically things I hope the majority will have fun with, whether it’s a translation, announcements about new translations being picked up, or stupid bear drawings.
  5. I have now been warned by AFlappyTeddyBird that he does not share my opinion, and that I should stop spamming Elion stuff because many others may find it unamusing.
  6. I did not realise that many arguments have been flung between Hiyono and Elion… because I can read the raws for Isekai and haven’t been to Hiyono’s since he first posted chapter 11.

So yeah, sorry for anybody who hasn’t found this situation enjoyable. I only did it because I thought it would be amusing, but apparently those who have been following Hiyono and stuff have been bombarded with this topic for days now.

For me, it was just sporadic updates on Elion’s business situation or more crazy/ridiculous statements by Mr. Elsion, so I guess that for me, it was a lot less spammy, and a lot more amusing.

I’ll try not to mention Elion again after this post. Really sorry guys.

Status Update

I’m um, well… not burnt out, but oddly apathetic again. Which is why I haven’t been doing anything for these last few days. Historically speaking, usually I take a 3~13 day break during these times. It’s already been 3 days, so I might start translating tomorrow.

Now, the dilemma starts from now;

– I picked up Tilea’s Worries from an MTLer, meaning that I have the responsibility to release relatively frequent updates
– I have not touched Other World for a long time
– Otoburi gets more and more crazy as the fight against Isis the French Revolutionaries the Heroine progresses, so I want to plough further ahead into the series
– Evil God Average has finished (we’re waiting on the confirmed sequel), and Vidar is waiting on my chapter 20 so that he can post the side-stories. Vidar did say that he didn’t care, and enjoyed making people wait, but…
– I’m tired of translating the above, and want to do a teaser. It may or may not increase my tl speed for the others once I’m done with it.

As you can see above, I have good reason to translate all of them, and the indecision is adding to my apathy, so ‘Why not delegate this decision elsewhere?’ I thought!

If anyone happens to pick option 5, leave a comment about what I should translate AFTER the teaser!!!

P.S. Pacem Machine Translation Dream-Team (may or may not have been self-proclaimed, or not proclaimed at all) announced to me their intent to pick up Maou weeks ago. Which is why halfway through the latest chapter, I just stopped working on it.
I think Maou deserves much better than this. Unfortunately, it is still one of the lowest priority series for me, and NOBODY has responded to my request for the Shadow Clone technique, so unfortunately this is how things are playing out.
