Sorry, for those who want the translations to stay, but it's the policy of BT. Don't worry, as we need a message from the translators before the total deletion. (And because the first volume only comes out in 2015, maybe they'll stay until early 2015.) But, once it's out, we can no longer provide them. Buy the LNs, if you want to support the work of the writer and the publisher's translators.

The following facts must be said, but it's obvious that it'll lead to negative reactions. (I'll see if it's worth ending my break from BT activities.)

According to the Abandonment Policy, here are the conditions for completing unfinished volumes:
- Registration before the license announcement. Only Drinkingwater fits the condition.
- No further activity 5 months before the release. We're around 7 months.
- More than half the volume should be completed. Volume 6 seems to be below that point.

As the last condition is not fulfilled, it means that the translation would end now. If a higher-up can confirm this, that'd avoid misunderstandings. Thanks.

I'm sad that NGNL is coming down from Baka-Tsuki, but I will definitely be buying the LN's once they're officially released. ^^ Now I just have to hope Yen Press grabs High School DxD and Psycho Love Comedy...

This made me wanna punch someone in the face. One of my Top 3 LN's out there. It's legit going to be 3 years before they even get to Volume 6, they are the slowest company to English TL lc.

Sigh was hoping for Vol.6 Completion as well...

I hope Drinking or Venis just end up blog TLing the rest of this series. Fking Yen Press. If Yen press actually released stuff they licensed at a decent pace I would be happy but.. nopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I really thanks all the staff of this projet. You guys do a really good job allowing us to read such a funny and interesting Light Novel. But (there's always a "but"), i thing it would be even better if all the translators respected some "rules", i mean, like using the same names for the same persons, an example : using "[ ]" to refer to Kuuhaku while the other chapter uses the "『 』". I thing it would give more consistence to your translations. That's the only thing i would have to criticize. Otherwise i really like your work !

The translations you guys do are awesome!. I registered just to say that. So please, at least finish volume 6 before taking it down!

While the series is great, I find it kinda odd they choose both this series AND Log Horizon for release at about the same time. o_O Personally, I'd have just gone with Log Horizon and left NGNL for us.

According to Drinkingwater's usertalk, he's 3/4th done with the volume but just hasn't posted it due to national examinations.

Even if BT translation does go down, I'm pretty sure the translators will put up their own site to translate. It was the same with SAO and they're still going.

I hope you are right, I don´t want to wait 3 years to read volume 5 and 6. Even if I could buy them it would be difficult, I live in Venezuela, I don´t really have acces to dollars here.

As for me, I'm very happy to be able to have an official version of this awesome LN ! The sad thing is it will be at least one year before they reach the volume 6 but I'm sure Yen will do a good work.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this project !
