Editor's talk
Hi readers. Editor here. This section is discussions pertaining to the method these novels are presented. Feel free to voice your opinions.
Terms: Japanese or English
I would like to ask. Is it better to keep the terms in Japanese or English?
Ex: Choshi no Yomite, Banjou no Shite… (Apart from the introduction of course, whereat both must be used.)
I have changed them to English. But I have decided against changing kanji words which have on’yomi readings only [because they are less awkward and easier to read], like Aizenta, Aizenji, Jizaihou...
What do you all think?

Usage of " "
I have decided to drop most of the " " to ensure smoothness when the novels are read.

Usage of terms
Having some difficulties here. As an editor, I believe that my grammar is acceptable. However, since I don't read much novels, my use of the terms (verbs, adjectives...) may not be appropriate. Please feel free to correct me. Thank you.

Japanese names
I will edit the names according to the usual English arrangements, ie names 1st and family names later, although it is the opposite in Japanese. Ex: 坂井悠二, Yuji Sakai
