|
| + | 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.) |

| − | Hi... First of all, thank you for translating "Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei"... but before doing chapter 8, can you please finish the translation of chapter 2 ? Please, Thank you --[[User:LSwRl|lSwRl]] ([[User talk:LSwRl|talk]]) 10:09, 11 August 2012 (CDT) |

| + | '''2. When are you going to translate the Afterwords or The Late Great Favorite?''' |
||
| − | By the way guys, I may get around to Volume 1 Chapter 2, but that is most definitely AFTER I finish Volume 2. So sit tight and hang onto you hats. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 03:12, 17 August 2012 (CDT) |
||
| + | 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. There are merely the author's thoughts as each novel comes to a close. Hence why their priority is very, very low. |
||
| − | Just wanna ask when you estimate to finish chapter 9 or volume 2 in general? |
||
| + | '''3. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter 9 before Chapter 8?''' |
||
| − | Things get done when they get done, I'm afraid. Chapter 9 is a fairly short chapter, so I may get it out sometime this weekend, but there's no guarantee. God alone knows when I'll finish all of volume 2. [[User:Dreyakis|Dreyakis]] ([[User talk:Dreyakis#top|talk]]) 22:55, 22 August 2012 (CDT) |
||
| + | Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter 8 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. |
||
| − | All good. Any amount of effort is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the hard work. |
||
| + | '''4. So when's your next chapter coming out?''' |
||
| − | Not sure if this is how you do this but here goes. I just wanna ask where would I be able to obtain the chinese light novel in NA? I have googled many sources and their shipping service does not include NA. Thanks in advance and I really appreciate you translating this. =] Yoh-kun. |

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 just want to let you know, Dreyakis, I highly enjoy your translation. I've spent quite a bit of time as an editor for various fan translation groups (never for light novels though) and even those projects could cause a man's brain to explode. Translation is hard work and you are doing the best job I have seen on Baka-Tsuki. It is a pleasure to read your translated text, doubly so because the novels themselves are excellent. The novels have an addictive neutrality to them, and I am very happy that you are translating them for an entirely new section of the world to enjoy. ~BakaGrappler |

Questions and Answers
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. 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. There are merely the author's thoughts as each novel comes to a close. Hence why their priority is very, very low.
3. Hey, dude, the chapters are out of order! Why did you translate Chapter 9 before Chapter 8?
Simply put, because someone signed up to do Chapter 8 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.
4. 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.
5. Are you going to translate all the volumes?
