| + | Hey Dreyakis, just wanted to say thanks for taking up translating Tenkyou! I look forward to reading your translations again xD |

| − | Since there's some vigilante (*cough* 36.73.110.127) gag order placed on criticism let me start with praise. Your translations are incredibly awesome. The best even. There's no disputing the quality nor the translation speed. Thank you very much. But may I suggest you stop giving release dates? I appreciate the attempt you make to give us updates on your progress. But it's really not working if you give dates only to postpone time and time again. I'm fine with waiting months for your translations but I'd prefer just the page progress update or no update at all. Because whenever you specify a date people (like me) will check around that date and see it postponed to a new date. I'm not sure it's a good solution.

I want to make it clear that all thoughts and opinions within the boundaries of common sense are welcome here.

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!
Drop me a line in the comments section below. If I can't answer it, go ahead and take it to the Feedback Thread on the forums.
