Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 10

I ended up binge reading about 600+ chapters of a novel I put on hold a couple of years ago.
I really love that series.
I have some concerns now though, the author hasn’t updated again in a while, so I hope it hasn’t been forgotten about.

They’ve had a hiatus before too but returned, but still I am concerned.
I think it will be fine.
But I think I should have slowed down on my reread so the content lasted me longer, I mean it took not even a week for me to catch up on multiple years worth of translation.

Thinking I’m going to have to read at the normal pace now…
Oh well.

Oh and I can’t say what novel it is, sorry! That’s uh….
Confidential.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 9

In the latest volume of Arpeggio the mysteries are starting to reveal their answers.
The origin of the Fog itself is being exposed.
As well as some other interesting details.

I’m really curious as to how the story is going to progress further from here!
Though I have some doubts about some of the presented information.
Ah I love this manga series.

I’m glad that the anime concluded with an original ending, because the totally different tangent for the manga keeps me in suspense.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 511

This chapter has a lot of technical terms.

We probably butchered half, invented another quarter and have to explain the remainder.
So good luck!

You might have to google a link or two to get it but that’s fine.
I mean we’re just fantranslating.
We’re allowed to include notes!

I can’t imagine translating for a company where you have to follow policy.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 510

My copy of the next Arpeggio volume finally dispatched.
Wow it’s been a long wait.

Combined with the delays for Trapped In A Dating Sim it’s been over a year of waiting!
Combined that is.

That’s a lot of delays for a book.
But finally they come soon!

Actually in one more volumes time for Dating Sim I’ll be caught up with where I left off reading the fan translation, which is quite exciting.
I have to say though that Seven Seas physical light novels are… a pain to read.
They’re just way too huge!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 508

I actually read ahead from this chapter onwards hahaha.
Oops.

I normally don’t do that so my reactions can be fresh as I edit them for footnote content.
Otherwise I sort of gloss over them or fail to recapture my first impressions.
It’s tiring trying to come up with footnotes for something you’ve already read in it’s own way.

That’s why some chapters have less than others, it’s usually when I’m uninterested or when I was too interested and read ahead.

Now you have an interesting guessing game to play haha!

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 8

Sadly things took a turn for the worse lately.
Normally this site manages to break even between paying translators and income revenue.
But people have been leaving the patreons en masse as of late.

Well I mean it’s understandable, it’s Christmas, everyone needs to squeeze out as much money as possible during the Christmas period.
Even I’m like that! I cancelled a couple of twitch subs to make a little bit more money available for stuff.

But it does also mean the site is losing money now. Which is a problem.
It’s okay if it’s one month, but if it goes on for too long, then we won’t be able to afford to pay the translators.
That’s a big deal!

Because that means I won’t get paid either!
I’d be the first one to get cut off!
I don’t want that! I need to buy my gacha!

Thus this gacha addict pleas for the kind readers to join the patreon!

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 7

Hello fellow readers,

Wow that made sound like a youtube creator.

So good news today!
We have TWO chapters!
That’s right, starting this month the regular release schedule of this novel will be doubling!
For those that don’t know words that’s a 100% increase!
For those that don’t know numbers it means twice as much!

Huh I feel like I’m forgetting something…
Oh well.
I’m sure it’s not important.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 506

I started doing this editing early to, you know, finish early.

I got distracted watching videos on train wrecks, metaphorical train wrecks.
No literal ones.

This one I’m watching right now is explaining the mess of High Guardian Spice to people not in the animesphere.
It’s pretty funny, the editing is on point.
Anyway that’s enough of this ramble.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 504

Picking up where we left off last week, our damsel has been given unfettered access to a treasure trove of shinies!
Just how long will her self control last when exposed to such priceless loot?

Find out in todays chapters of our Maiden’s adventure.

No but seriously, it’s really obvious what’s going to happen isn’t it?
I don’t even need to start editing the next two chapters to predict this.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 6

With the release of Stellaris Aquatics my friends and I have taken the dive into multiplayer gaming once again and it’s going well.

My Methanoid Cognitive Council is a technological powerhouse, generations ahead of the nearest competition.
My scientific marvels are paving the way to a future of galactic domination!

Friend A’s something-or-other Coalition is a mess going in every direction but poorly. Without a chosen specialisation they’re just weak in every field.
Not to mention their constant warfare with their less than pleasant neighbour.

Friend B’s holy empire is actually really peaceful. They’re boxed in due to awkward placement on the map, but the isolation has given them a steady economy.
Despite taking some losses against the space fauna they always bounce back to make more attempts.

And this is only about sixty years into the game…
My technology will only snowball from here!
Domination shall be mine!

But first I need to capture the wormhole form my space to Friend A’s neighbours space so I can spread my peaceful ways by force.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 503

I had a few ideas for what to write for this ramble but then couldn’t really get into the vibe for any of them.

I mean their were interesting things I could talk about like the news, gaming stuff, anime I’m watching and so forth.
For example I watched Star Trek Prodigy recently, and also The Daily Life of the Immortal King.
I also started reading some new Light Novels.
There’s the Activision Blizzard situation.
And that barely scratches the surface.

But nothing feels right. Oh well.

Actually.
I have a test for a job tomorrow. Or today as you’re reading this.
Wish me luck.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 502

So Stellaris’ Aquatics DLC released today.

I haven’t had a chance to play with the aquatics yet but I am playing against them in a way.
My friends opted for a multiplayer game so we’re all diving into that headfirst as a trio.
One of them is playing aquatics, but man…

They got their planet size to 30.
For reference, the usual maximum for a habitable planet is 25.
So this size 30 planet looks FRICKIN HUGE!
Like it’s so big!

AND IT CAN GET BIGGER?!?!

Seriously this Aquatics DLC is nuts. I wonder if there’s a genuine cap on the planet size.
