Sorry this digest came so late. June, to put it simply, was an incredibly busy month for me. A distant relative of mine got married, so I had to rush to finish my work before heading off on a long road trip.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to wrap everything up beforehand, which meant I had a mountain of work waiting for me when I returned. To make matters worse, I came down with a pretty nasty flu near the end of the month. I’m still not fully recovered even now. I got a little overconfident when I started feeling better, only for it to relapse last week, leaving me completely bedridden again. Whenever I get sick, it really knocks me out, and I end up spending most of my days in bed.

But enough about me. Let’s talk about Re:Library! Thanks to an incredibly generous one-time donation in June, we managed to reach our monthly funding goal:

As a result, five new chapters of Ragweed Princess have already been translated and published on the site.

Looking ahead, however, I’m not sure we’ll be able to reach the goal again in July. Our best-selling series, 2-as-1 Princesses, has now been fully translated, and we’re already seeing subscribers gradually cancel their memberships as they finish reading.

On that note, I’ve been in close contact with the translator regarding the series that would replace 2-as-1 Princesses. Unfortunately, Lyly remained uncertain about the project until the very last minute and had actually been translating it without telling me, so I wasn’t able to share any details about the new series with all of you sooner.

To be honest, given our tight budget, I did consider reallocating the newly freed funds to one of our currently hiatused projects. However, that would have meant leaving Lyly without work, as I’d much rather have the original translators return to those series whenever possible, and Lyly wasn’t the translator for any of them.

Despite all the hiccups, though, everything worked out in the end, and we’re finally able to bring you our newest series, Genderbent Beauty, short for Several Years as a Genderbent Beauty, Now at My Childhood Friend’s Mercy.

If you were subscribed to 2-as-1 Princesses, your existing membership will automatically grant you access to the new series through the same password document, so there’s no need to request new access. However, if you’d rather exchange your early access reward for another ongoing series, feel free to send me a direct message on Ko-fi, and I’ll be happy to help.

Moving on, let’s talk a little about Project Necro.

In June, Mab picked up My Pet is a Holy Maiden and has already released 25 chapters to date.

On top of that, due to growing frustration over the slow release schedule of Worldgate Online under its previous translator, one of Re:Library’s biggest supporters generously funded Project Necro in the hope that we could take over the project. It was admittedly an awkward situation, but after discussing the matter with everyone involved, we ultimately reached an agreement. While they weren’t entirely happy with the outcome, they graciously allowed us to take over the translation of the series.

That now brings Project Necro up to five ongoing series. If I’m not mistaken, they’re releasing around ten chapters per series each month. Combined with another ten monthly chapters of Wolf Princess under Project Gender Bender, the translator behind Project Necro is now handling roughly 60 chapters every month entirely on their own.

That’s an incredible workload for comparatively little reward. If you’ve been enjoying their translations, please consider dropping by Project Necro’s Ko-fi page and showing your support. Every contribution helps keep these projects alive.
