We’re back!
Sorry for the absence!

I did vaguely warn you on the last post for this novel but the translator was AWOL for a period.
Anyway, we have all the chapters now!
Everything is here!

And as I mentioned for those who may or may not read Blue Sky.
We have a special bonus!

Since we have all the chapters now, as a special reward there will be one chapter posted every day until we reach the end!
After that it’s anyone’s guess as to if the translation will continue as the author puts out newer chapters.

Only this chapter today.
The translator has run into a few delays with the final batch for this novel.
Yes that’s right, soon we’ll be reaching the latest chapters of the web novels raws. Then it’s up to the whims of the author when they’ll release new chapters.

If and when those chapters will get done will then be left up to the whims of whoever is involved on this side of things.
As you can expect, most people move on when a project becomes erratic in such a manner.

Since this will be the only post for the day I’ve decided to move forward Blue Sky’s release an hour too to fill in the slot.

We’re almost nearing the end of our journey together.
Yes, there’s only like….a bit left of this novel.
I can’t remember exact numbers. But it’s a small number.

I don’t know what I’m going to do after this.
This novel made me so much money. And it’s all going to evaporate.
Someone quickly find some other novel! Pronto! Also someone to translate it. So I can leech off them.

Seven Seas is doing a complete overhaul of Jobless Reincarnations novel translations it seems.
I hope they start to learn from this.
The light novel translation industry is a bit out of touch with its consumer base for various reasons, mostly because of the outdated generalist tradition they use to translate. When you’re dealing with subculture material I think it’s much more appropriate to make sure that you’re resonating with your target audience.

But the publishing industry, especially in America, has always been a mess.
Conclusion, all light novel translations should move their HQ’s to Britain, the world capital of literature, and use the J-Novel Club business model.

Enough said.

I’ve started obsessively playing Stellaris again lately.
I always have phases like this.

I’m rather bad at the game so I tend to cheat a lot and just roleplay it out.
But after a few sessions of using cheats to roleplay instead of play the games get stale because you can always recover losses.

I also tend to play the games a specific way, especially with my custom empire.
I think what I need to do is play the role of an empire that antagonises my favourite custom empire and roleplay that instead.
Actually that might work! I can use the console commands to give me custom empire a bunch of early game advantages so they can steamroll ahead and see how things turn out.

While I was scheduling this I think the site may have died.
Or my internet.
Whatever the case it got stuck on loading for a long time so please forgive me if it turns out that the page failed to publish correctly and all you’re getting is a dead link.

Since this is important I won’t bog down this post with my usual ramble.
I’ll say it again if I need to!

I was once again drawn into reading ReZero.
The new arc had finally gotten started a bit so I thought I’d dive in to get to know what’s going on.

Honestly didn’t expect this turn of events.
All the previous arcs have been pretty clear cut between their start and their finish with a bit of downtime between (even if it’s only a matter of perspective and they are actually back to back) but this new arc felt like a direct continuation of the previous one. As a result I feel like it was a bit anticlimactic but maybe that’s just me?
The cathartic payoff didn’t seem to happen in my opinion.
