looking for Sword Art online Raws

[ArchmageXin]

Hi folks:

Anyone can point to me where I can find the chinese simplefied raws? I accidentally forwarded BT's site to a good friend of mine and now she insist I go translate the gaps for her >.>;;

If I remember right, Teh Ping is translating the volume 10 right now, so just tell her to wait patiently (if the gaps you mean is volume 10 of course).

No, she want to read one of the side stories, Rondo or something.

Hmm, I'm not sure if there's Chinese version of that. If i'm not mistaken, it's being translated off the web version (that's already taken down). And that it should be included in the upcoming SAO:Progressive volume 1. But I'm not certain

Spoiler! :

Anyone called for me?

Ahem, anyway...

To quote BeginnerXP:

Just a small news: It's confirmed in Accel World 12, that ME7: Continuation - Aria in the Starless Night will be included in SAO Progressive volume 1, under the name "Reason of the Whiskers", along with Aria & Rondo SS. SAOP1 will be on sale on October 10th.

I won't be free in October due to exams, so I'm wondering if anyone wants to help out in the translations for this story. We'll most likely delete the web versions once Progressive is translated. ME7 and Aria will be edited, but we'll need manpower for Rondo, so I'm looking for help for this chapter itself.

Anyway, requesting RAWs itself openly is against the rules...

I know it's ironic for a website like ours, but that's what it says. It's the Taboo Index.

I'll do "Reason of the Whiskers" no matter if it's some small edits from the author or a major change. About Aria & Rondo, it's depend on Pryun, I guess.

While I agree that Aria should be deleted once SAOP1 is done, but ME7 is part of the entire Material Edition set, so it should stay.

So chinese simplified raws is also forbidden? I thought it was only japanese raws...

Ironically, I found a chinese raw page, and it wrote "Wiped out by Mahou-chan (aka mistress copyright) " I would purchase a copy of Rondo whatever so I can read it to this girl directly (make a romantic evening!), but it has to be in Chinese.

maybe I could do it on skype and make it the first baka audio release

[M.A.D]

Wait, does Chinese version even count as RAWs? They're technically scanlations in the Mandarin language

lol, you dawg!! Well, good luck with that. Remember, google is friend, not food.

Rondo wouldn't be against the rules.
It's not any sort of "illegally obtained media", it was hosted publicly on the author's homepage.

Anyway, there aren't any "Chinese raws" for Rondo.
Go search Chinese sites and see if anyone translated it there instead.
Like mentioned earlier, it's not officially published yet, so there's no official Chinese version or anything.
