Pupil of the Wiseman Chapter 67 (Part 1)

As previously announced, Re:Library will now be taking over the translation of this great web novel series. We already mentioned this before, but since each chapter is more or less about 6k ~ 9k characters in raw source, we will take that into consideration and split each chapter into an appropriate length, more or less about 3k ~ 4k characters each part. That’s about the average length of most other novels out there, which we believe is a good compromise for a novel this long.

Another thing that we should mention is that, since we are still in the middle of reviewing the past chapters, we won’t be translating this novel at full throttle just yet. For now, I’ve asked the translator to provide at least 1 part per month until we finish reviewing all the chapters. This chapter hasn’t been edited yet, we will come back to it later after the chapter reviews and change the terms as necessary. For now, enjoy the read.

As always, if you wish to show your support, you can head on to our Patreon page to offer some monetary support. Much love.

The Saintess Chapter 9

We’re already chapter 9 in~ How exciting. On a side note, I’ve just supported a Patreon creator just a few days ago. As a matter of fact, this is literally the first time I’ve subbed to anyone’s Patreon page. You know FlowingCloud of Yado-Inn? I’ve just subbed to his Patreon page 😛

Seems that he got roped into the Gender Bender genre by me and he has been picking up a few Gender Bender of his own. The only problem is that he’s the type that can’t seem to stick to one novel for long so don’t expect any long term investment from him though.

Dragon Princess – Chapter 67

So we all know the reputation wuxias have for repetitive plots.
Been thinking about it a bit recently, and I think I’ve located the problem in their writing that causes this – a failed attempt at a chiastic structure. For those of you who don’t know chiastic (or “ring”) structure is an ancient and somewhat cyclical structure reminiscent of poetry used everywhere from the texts of the Abrahamic faiths, the Odyssey, the Illiad, and even the Hobbit (to name a few). It follows a pattern of callbacks, or even repeated events to draw the reader into the story. It is easy to see the attempt at this wuxia authors make, but issues arise with how frequently the inner cycles are executed without real progress being made for the main character – that is, the inner cycles that are being repeated serve no or limited narrative purpose that is never rewarded to the audience.

Imagine and MC that constantly goes to a new place, offends some young master, gets challenged by that young master, then kills the young master, then repeat (who am I kidding, you’ve probably read that plot so just remember, don’t imagine 😊). This structure doesn’t inherently make for a bad story, but it’s missing a few things that make it easy to tire of. The MC does not make any progress from this encounter – no treasure gained, no enemy made (as would be the case in a truer chiastic), no lesson learned. The MC has not gone anywhere for his troubles, he is exactly where he started – just with new paint. He doesn’t even remember the encounter. This is by far the biggest issue with the writing – a betrayal of the reader, a broken promise.

Adding some meaning to each of the encounters would allow readers to be drawn into the story. Well, there’s some other issues and fixes that could be done – but there’s a chap for you to read, so bye!

The Saintess Chapter 8

From the current outlook, it seems like the reader’s interest are leaning towards The Transcendent more. Over the past few days, many people have been asking me when will the next chapter of the Transcendent be available. To answer your question, since I’m not the translator in question, I have no idea.

I only commissioned 5 chapters from FrozenFirez for the month of February and he has provided me with just that. Although I have asked for another 5 chapters after he was finished, that was scheduled for the next month, so… the next chapter could come to you in anywhere between 1 to 30 days from now~

Well, I will try to make him quicken the pace though, so we won’t have to wait that long.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 129

I should really write something here but it’s 4:30am and I am REALLY TIRED.
I got tunnel vision while watching Railgun S and totally forgot to do anything else today!

Well I was also plotting out my Index FanFic.
I finally reached the Sister’s Arc climax. I had quite a bit of trouble working out what to do for this arc since I didn’t want to change it too much, but also didn’t want to risk leaving it out because of how significant an event it is for any fan.
I think I struck a nice balance though!

Also I’m relying on you guys, think me up some ideas for “space” magic will you?
So far I’ve got things based on planet orbits, dyson spheres, sunspots and stellar cartography.

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 39

So in my last post I talked a bit about how I got Railgun S on BluRay.

Railgun is actually one of the first few anime I ever watched, I was introduced to it by a senpai at school. She bought a psychology textbook on amazon but got sent a copy of one of the Railgun manga volumes instead and really got into it. So she bought the volumes that came before it and then watched the anime and got me into it.

The Raildex franchise is huge, even I haven’t touched upon every part of it, and it’s constantly growing with new spinoffs and sidestories in addition to the main novels.

But that’s only the start of what I wanted to talk about, a few years back I actually penned the concept for a fanfic.
The idea was someone reincarnating inside that franchise, but being too terrified to do anything because they could potentially derail the plot.
The core conflict being the ethical argument of whether they should accept a ‘necessary evil’.

What if they saved someone who was destined to die, only to have their interference ripple into preventing the conditions needed for a victory in a major event later?

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 38

Hello and welcome, fans, aliens, isekaijin, fellow siscons and of course those scum among you who like XX chromosome wielders with useless mounds of fat! I don’t discriminate.

Today I have some amazing news!
I had to babysit!
I got the Invaders of the Rokujouma and A Certain Scientific Railgun S complete anime collections at 50% off!
What a bargain!
I absolutely love both of these so I’m really glad I got to pick them up.

I’d like to get the Index BluRay collections too but they’re really pricey for some reason!

Anyway here’s your usual chapter of Another World.
