It’s already April, how is the lockdown treating you? Are you having the blast of your life or did you already get a mental breakdown from being cooped up at home? As for me, I’m kind of bummed as there were a few movies I was looking forward to watching in the cinema, and now they’ve all been delayed.

Now I can somewhat understand Robin’s frustration at making tables. Creating the tables for the item windows took so much time xD

On another news, we have a new editor for Reborn as a Transcendent. Say hi to NeedHydra, the newest addition to our team. He also runs a scanlation group like Dex. Perhaps some of you might know him as MemeHydra or some other Hydra, he’s the guy who does Lazy Dungeon Master manga scanlation among other things.

He will be your new editor for this series for now and eventually be promoted to a Publisher. Please give him your warmest regard.

Today is Saturday, and that means a new chapter of the Transcendent! Oh right, I forgot to mention last week, but from now on, Transcendent will be officially picked up by Re:Library and we’ll be getting 2 weekly chapters from now on. Hopefully? Maybe? If my schedule allows? Somehow, I feel that I’ve become a lot busier now that the whole country has entered lockdown. Contrary to that, however, the ad revenues are dropping like crazy. I’ve previously mentioned how the economy is affecting the ad rates in the previous post. Our ad rates go all the way from $0.60 per 1000 views to $0.27 per 1000 views. That’s more than 50% drop in ad revenues, and it really hurts.

I know the current coronavirus pandemic may be daunting, but Re:Library is here to make it better and provide you with a daily dose of Gender Bender goodness! Make sure to stay at home and stay healthy!

On another news, let me talk about how the current pandemic is affecting all the publishers as a whole.

Typically, we’d see a bit of up and down at the start of the new year, with February-March seeing it rise once more, especially as marketing departments in companies need to finish out their Q1 budget. But we aren’t seeing that happen this year.

Digital ad budgets are the fastest and easiest to pull when the market drops and revenue forecasts for public companies (the ones that advertise the most) change; digital ad campaigns rarely involve any sort of contract, and it’s pretty simple to cut a campaign or add one back in quickly.

Businesses who advertise, particularly public companies, want to keep their company in or near the black as much as possible, especially as they have to report their earnings at the end of Q1 (March 31st). If they can easily cut an expenditure, they will.

What this all means is that, since everyone is staying at home, no one is buying anything, so there is no point to advertise anything. Which in turn also drag the ad rates down to the bottom low. If it’s not too much to ask, we’d appreciate it if you can browse Re:Library with your Adblocker turned off. We also have mouths to feed, and a site to upkeep, any form of support is much appreciated. Thankies.

Here is the glorious Chapter 11 of the Transcendent! Translated by yours truly, the one and only Silva~!!! I’ve changed a few terms from this chapter onward, more specifically, Immortal to Celestial, Mission to Quest, and I’m contemplating whether I should also change “Occupation” to “Job” since that is more commonly used in a game setting.

Also, please remember that we also have a beautiful Schedule page on Re:Library that people don’t seem to realize existing. There is even a beautiful time converter embedded on the page for all your convenience, so please do use it and stop asking me for the release date, etc.

Each time a person asked, I will delay EVERYTHING on Re:Library for one day and I’ll even name the person who asked so he can become the center of everyone’s hatred. I’m looking at you Gil, one more time and you’re toasted *death stare*

Okay, this is it, people! We’re finally at the crossroad. Cast your votes now, do you wish to see more of Transcendent or Saintess? You only have 1 chance, so choose wisely!

One more chapter coming tomorrow and we’ll pit Transcendent against Saintess! Who will come out on top! It’s anyone’s game! Choose wisely cause it’ll cost both you and me a lot of time to flick through (and translate) a novel that nobody wants to read. Knight and Elf was a good example, we had a voting session and it came out on top, but nobody wants to read it now. We don’t want that to happen again do we? Do take into consideration of the novel’s future prospect before you vote.

On a side note, the progression of this novel is VERY slow, you’ve been warned. It has been validated by someone who reads the raw; that even after 70+ chapters, it’s still day one in the game.
And you could probably tell from what you’ve read so far, but even after 8 chapters, he’s still in the “white” space.
