Thank you. Is there a specific volume/chapter that's bad, or should I just read through and edit? (cause that's what I'm doing)

Trust me, the chapters I do are the worst.

Well, why don't you check out chapter 1/3 of volume 11?

Oh, OK.
Btw, Ch. 1 of Vol. 11 is pretty good. Only changed one thing, and it was only the placement of an ellipses in dialogue.

No major errors, just a few grammatical mistakes. You say you're worse than others, but you are good.
Also, do you want me to use American or British spelling?

In BT, it's better not to ask for too much, so standard English is okay. Though I think British English should be adopted.

I agree, not much to change, but I supposed that's because I tend to like keeping to the translator's style as much as possible.

If someone with a much better understanding of English were to come in, I am sure there are lots of things that could be changed. The way Japanese phrases their sentences as well as quite a few other things are quite different from how we phrase or say it in English, not to mention the fact that I think MineRiko is using Chinese translations for this, therefore adding in the way Chinese phrases their sentences as well.

Still, it is a good job. Please keep up the great work! :D
Don't you just love reading? I think it is one of the joys of life, where we can escape the cold reality of the world and exist in something so much more fun and exciting! ^_^
