=== '''Questions and Answers''' ===

'''1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?'''

I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)

'''2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?'''

Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.

'''3. So when's your next chapter coming out?'''

If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a ''rough'' estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.

'''4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?'''

Until otherwise stated, yes.

'''5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?'''

Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.

'''6. I want to join the project, where do I sign up?'''

I don't have the power to actually grant that since I am not the project leader for MKnR, larenthian is. If you are interested in joining the project, drop by the Feedback Thread to let larenthian and Seitsuki know. Following that, inscribe your name onto the [[Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei:Registration_Page|Registration]] page next to which chapter you would like to work on. I will '''not''' provide RAWs, so do not ask.

'''7. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!'''

Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.

Since there's some vigilante (*cough* 36.73.110.127) gag order placed on criticism let me start with praise. Your translations are incredibly awesome. The best even. There's no disputing the quality nor the translation speed. Thank you very much. But may I suggest you stop giving release dates? I appreciate the attempt you make to give us updates on your progress. But it's really not working if you give dates only to postpone time and time again. I'm fine with waiting months for your translations but I'd prefer just the page progress update or no update at all. Because whenever you specify a date people (like me) will check around that date and see it postponed to a new date. I'm not sure it's a good solution.

:He removed it before, only to be be hammered with requests asking when the next release will be; He can't win on this issue. If you don't like specific dates then just check for updates on Wednesday/Sunday (these days were the ball park days he mentioned for having time to work on translations, things may have changed since tho). --[[User:Drowzycow|Drowzycow]] ([[User talk:Drowzycow|talk]]) 19:38, 28 October 2013 (CDT)

::This is something that deserves to be addressed. In all honesty, it is true that my schedules have been slipping as of late, which is something that concerns me quite a bit. My thoughts moving forward will be to regulate on what days I will posting new stuff to make it more manageable, but ultimately Drowzycow got the gist of it.
::Also, another thing I want to draw the line about here is the editing of other people's opinions. I want to make it clear that all thoughts and opinions within the boundaries of common sense are welcome here. Please do NOT delete criticism, as that is also an important aspect that helps people grow. If I find something to be particularly offensive, I will take the initiative of removing that myself. My thanks to those who have policed this section with the best intentions, but let's make sure this doesn't get too far.

::: you could give your self some space post date a week from when you think you will be done that way you have Real Life filler space Michael Oct 29 2013 10:51

::: personally i like the eta on the release dates.. gives a rough idea of when the tl will be finished. Its an estimation and bound to change but i dont mind... even when theres no release on that day.. ''Wishing the great Tl'er Dreyaksis a long and happy life. anon 16 nov 2013

oh man that that weren't you? man im so sorry i just thought you were upset about my little joke (though i still think you make an excellent work and made sure to praise it before joking around xD)
still i apologize if it was to rude and wanna express my opinion that i think that overlord val is right i mean you can just put how many pages you have done, you don't have any obligation to put a date nor have people the right to hurry you up, as i stated before is not like you are getting paid(still is a little frustrating check every day to find a new estimated date)happy to know that you are a mature person open to constructive criticism, and again thank for the good job (sorry if there are errors in the grammar, im still learning English)[[User:Renextronex|Renextronex]] ([[User talk:Renextronex|talk]])

Okay, so... Now, where's that "paying res...." *cough cough* I mean, "expressing gratitude" section?
Well, never mind.

lol that's acid [[User:Renextronex|Renextronex]] ([[User talk:Renextronex|talk]])

Woah, are you for real? 71/212 pages one chapter?! Hahahaha! Are you doing the whole book or has the author gone mad? XD --[[User:Tortex|Tortex]] ([[User talk:Tortex|talk]]) 16:24, 5 November 2013 (CST)
: It's not like there haven't been chapters like this before (and he did whole books before - Dreyakis you have a giant statue in my inaginary hall of honour). December 15th? Finally a realistic date :) [[User:SXIII|SXIII]] ([[User talk:SXIII|talk]]) 16:52, 5 November 2013 (CST)
::I hope that December 15th is just so no one will complain again, and it won't take so long ^^ Anyway, just this one chapter and I'll be able to devour rest of the volume in in go. [[User:Antanaru|Antanaru]] ([[User talk:Antanaru|talk]]) 14:49, 7 November 2013 (CST)
: in mine as well, just beside zzhk [[User:Renextronex|Renextronex]] ([[User talk:Renextronex|talk]])

Thanks again for the awesome work so far. Good luck with champter 15, judging by the length it looks like there's a lot to look forward to! [[User:D4mi3n|d4mi3n]] ([[User talk:D4mi3n|talk]])

We are always watching you, if you haven't realized that yet. XD

: It´s time to get your own Guardian :), you already have stalkers after you (lets hope nothing more serious happens) :). Anyway, thanks for your great job. Your excellent translations make this novel really worth reading (of course besides the plot, ilustrations etc.).--[[User:Zuruumi|Zuruumi]] ([[User talk:Zuruumi|talk]]) 16:10, 9 November 2013 (CST)

=== '''Expressing Gratitude'''===

Thanks a bunch for the translation of the new chapter. Well then, I'm off to read it.

Thanks for the newest chapter. Haha, I noticed the 212 was bold, that's a lot of pages.. good luck :D. Anyone kind of feel like Tatsuya was being overly cold towards Miyuki toward the end of the most recent chapter? I kind of wanted to slap him... --[[User:Ruckkus|Ruckkus]] ([[User talk:Ruckkus|talk]]) 13:12, 6 November 2013 (CST)

Thanks for all the hard work you have been putting in the last few months. Being able to count on a release every few weeks or so is a privilege and a blessing. You, my good sir, are an example of diligence and generosity. Thanks for taking all the time out of your RL to keep us few devoted fans happy. [[User:TheAEmix|TheAEmix]] ([[User talk:TheAEmix|talk]]) 05:15, 13 November 2013 (CST)

Thanks for all the work you've done! The world would be an emptier place without all your translations. You've really been working hard on chapter 15

Good sweetness, a month before expected :*)

Excuse me. Supposed, that we live long enough to see the ending of MKnR series and Dreyakis-san and other translators finished translating it. There are still many interesting scripts, light novels, and other literature that hasn't/haven't been released in English by official provider(unlicensed). Question, Are Dreyakis-san going to translate any of those literature that Dreyakis-san interested in? Besides MKnR, is there any literature that Dreyakis-san recommended?--[[User:Mada|Mada]] ([[User talk:Mada|talk]]) 02:52, 7 June 2013 (CDT) Many Thanks and sorry for disturbing.--[[User:Mada|Mada]] ([[User talk:Mada|talk]]) 02:54, 7 June 2013 (CDT)

:Hard to say actually. My roommate is trying to get me to pick up Hataraku Maou-sama! or Hagure Yūsha no Esutetika, but we shall see what happens. (The former is of interest to me, but the latter seems way too fanservice heavy.) And it's never a bother. I'm not going to bite anyone's head off (unless someone does something very rude, which you are not), so feel free to ask. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 03:19, 22 August 2013 (CDT)

If you are interest I would be happy if you pick and translate Hagure Yūsha no Esutetika.
We the reader will love to read it . Thanks for your hard work until now

the story for Hagure Yūsha no Esutetika is awsome as far as the anime goes but i understand there being way to much fan service and i agree

as for me Hagure Yūsha no Esutetika while heavy on fan service (it is to be expected with a MC that strips girls,peeks on them changing or in showers and generally get them in embarrassing situations from what the anime showed) seems to be a lot more interesting then Hataraku Maou-sama if i go by the animes.

umm i noticed in MKnR that your name is on "The honour student's supplementary lesson" chapter yet it is not on your user page did someone else put your name there or are you thinking of doing that short story?

HYnE anime was incredibly heavy on the fanservice to the point it was boring and predictable. And Hataraku while interesting at first got mediocre really fast. I'd prefer it if you picked something YOU love/like instead. That said, no matter which project you pick I'll make sure to give it a shot. Your translations are superb.

Excuse me.Did you stop translating Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei?Thank you for translating chapters btw.

Do you have some pressing real life business thats prevented you from working on the translation? If so I don't mind but I would just like some news on whether we can expect more releases. Also was wondering why you translated a bunch of chapters out of order, like doing volume 10 chapter 10 and 11 before doing chapters 8 and 9. In fact I've noticed a few other translators do this. Why exactly? Are those chapters way easier to translate? Are they just more interesting? Are they a personal favorite or something? Anyways I was just wondering if we can expect any upcoming updates.
:Yo, look at the registration page of the novel before commenting about the translation order, some translator pick other chapters and translate it ahead of the chapter Dreyakis is working on. Remember, we are just on the grace of the translators. We can just wait for them to finish translating or drop this series ^^ --[[User:Ghost|Ghost]] ([[User talk:Ghost|talk]]) 09:48, 17 Oct 2013 (GMT + 8)

:Please take time to look over the Q&A section at the top of this page as the question is answered there. My thanks to those who take the time to help answer questions and facilitate things on this Talk Page. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 15:14, 17 October 2013 (CDT)

Did you change 'Eidos' to 'Ideas' in your translation or was it the author who used different term in v10ch8? [[User:Antanaru|Antanaru]] ([[User talk:Antanaru|talk]]) 02:43, 19 October 2013 (CDT)

Hey, glad to see you're back. No pressure or anything though xD.

Thank you sir. you made my day with this chapter.. [[User:James Gobilzkame|V33]] 15:44, 18 October 2013 (CDT)

Thanks for all your hard work... Nothing beats smiling creepily while reading MKnR at a laundrymat... Thanks again for your hardwork. On another note; the author mentioning whites being a minority on the west coast is so true. I live in SoCal

I am early to heaven with recent anime announcement and your releases again. Thanks tons.
