Been gone for awhile.

Seems like a lot of work is waiting to be done :D

I generally edit by keeping as close to the source as possible, but if you guys are looking into making the sentences gel together better for English readers, than I will see what I can do to help.

Though, to me, most of the awkward phrases I see I mostly put it to the funny little quirks that Japanese characters and LN in general have, but I think that is something that only I see it as, and most likely it is just the way the translator phrased it I guess :lol:
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! ^_^

It took less than a couple of months for 4-5 volumes to be put out when mizuho and zzhk were going beast-mode on it. Not saying that it will happen again, but they translate fast as hell.

Your statement feels inaccurate.

I think it is true that their translation speeds are off the charts, especially Zzhk.

He finished a certain LN recent volume that was released on the 24/05/13.

On the other hand, this wait is killing me~

I'm saying that only zzhk went on beast-mode, considering that out of 4-5 volumes, he did 4 volumes.

Then that will make sense :lol:

And it is a true beast-mode :shock:

True, but Mizuho was fast as well for parts of volume 4 and 5. While it took him a while to complete Volume 8, when he's fast he is fast.

He was fast but sloppy, I had voiced a complaint. However, I am too lazy to tlc all those chapters.

I pretty sure I somewhat know what's going on.
I'm probably taking the first chapter as usual and having zzhk clear the rest :wink:
