I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.) |

| − | '''2. When are you going to translate the Afterwords or The Late Great Favorite?''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Uh, probably some far distant time in the future. (read: never) The Afterwords and the Late Great Favorite bear no impact on the story itself. They are merely the author's thoughts as each novel comes to a close. Hence why their priority is very, very low. |
||
| − | ''' |
+ | '''2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?''' |
Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time. |

If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a ''rough'' estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days. |

| − | I think that is because the chapters are shorter now. Anyway thanks a lot for translating at all because people love you when you load them up and resent you because after each chapter you give them such a long time waiting (anything more than the next shot immediately is too long). Just joking, you are so fast that we too much expectations and we are happy that you take the time to bring us poor idiots some good translations. |

| − | Before anything else gotta say your awesome, thanks for the fast translations, really liking this series. That said i was wondering about something, you said volume 5 may get delayed since its side stories does that mean you are going to translate volume 6 first? and if so are you eventually going to translate volume 5? Because while i'm not sure or anything it seems the side stories hold progress for characters like Mayumi (cover,novel illustrations etc) so i was just curious what you eventually planned to do it, not rushing for dates or anything though just curious. |

Questions and Answers[edit]
1. Are you working on the light novels or the web novels? What's the difference?
I'm working from the Chinese translations of the light novels. The web novels were published before the light novels, but the light novels contain more content in terms of character development and extra scenes. In addition, some lines in the web novels were toned down in the light novels. (And there's more fanservice in the light novels.)
2. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter Y before Chapter X?
Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter X before I did. Translators work at different speeds, so some chapters may come out ahead of the others. Everyone works at their own pace, so give them some time.
3. So when's your next chapter coming out?
If I got a dollar every time someone asked me this, I would be able to do this for a living. Click on the User Page tab on the top left corner and you will find my progression on the latest chapter as well as a rough estimate on when the chapter will be complete. And, no, it has been scientifically proven that asking me to work faster/harder does not improve translation speed. I am working off of PST in California, so do take that into account when looking for the new chapter on my update days.
4. Are you going to translate all the volumes?
Until otherwise stated, yes.
5. I got the chapter summaries from somewhere else, may I post them in the forums?
Please don't. Last I heard, the chapter summaries flying everywhere absolutely killed all motivation for the translators. So...... Please don't. Please.
6. I have more questions that you haven't answered here!
