An apology somewhat

A misleading title? πŸ˜†

First and foremost, I'm sorry for not living up to my promises of being able to out consistent chapters daily for this blog.

It's mainly attributed to me being busy from school life, a 9am-6pm timing (not including 1hr transport to and back -3-), daily tkd training, school piled up assignments, homeworks, assessments, group projects and so on, necessitating me to study daily just to catch up on its load.

Some other reasons as for why I'm unable to out Jeopardy as fast as LDD, was because of chapter length, quality, free time span, to list a few.

Free time span - I'm able to out consistent LDD chapters in the past due to my hols, and I was then able to push out chapters as soon as I finished translating, without even checking it. (aka no proofreading, editing)

Quality - You may have noticed that in Jeopardy, I'm able to get out more higher qualitied tl works compared to the rest of my translations, as after translating them, I went through it once again, aka proofreading and editing, to try and sieve out grammars, english grammatically incorrect soundings, rephrasing thus, improving the quality overall. I feel that this should be what a translator should at least provide, as they understood the chapter meanings in the first place, unless they have a tlc or a bilingual proofreader/editor. Sometimes, I may miss out a few catches too, which is why I rely on you readers to help me correct, or query me onto my translation if there's any doubts :P

Chapter length - For Jeopardy, the chapter length really is varied. It can go from 2k ~ 5k, and in more recent chapters (Vol 2), it jumped to (in average) 3.5 ~ 4k length, (unlike LDD which it's a consistent 3k). My speed is roughly being able to output 4k words in roughly 5- 5.5 hours, with the proofreading/editing being 45- 1 hr thereafter.

Nonono, this is entirely not a rant at all. It's just somewhat reasons that I'm providing to appease yer readers, that I'm not being able to out that much chapters as before.

You may have noticed it, but this blog is entirely FOC. No ads, no patreonizing (geddit?), no chapt sponsoring, why? I entirely did it out because I feel like it. Passion-driven? Maybe? Pumping in all my spare time to tl without any expectation onto remuneration, this really must be done with a wholeheartedness....as I could continue my tkd training even more, indulge in more cn novel reading, study-cram more, work p/t outside too, but nah.....

However, in weekends, if I didn't out 2 chapters, you're entitled to pester me. Hey, who says translators don't need motivation too? I do, and those pushing by you readers is what that spurs me on to go on and on.

But hey, it doesn't mean that weekdays I'm not so "free" too. Wed/Fri are my least crowded days, and it's very, very, very, very plausible that I'm able to out 1 chapt on that day itself.

And so this goes on, for posterity, forever pinned, to any readers who would wonder why I didn't out that much chapters weekdays and so on. Please spare me!

  6. Don't usually comment, but just wanted to say I appreciate your efforts. Honestly, thanks for translating a genre that a lot of translators never seem interested in, and don't worry about being rushed we'll appreciate your releases whenever.

  8. Take your time man, as long as you keep translating. I really like Jeopardy novel and appreciate whatever you've done. I looked at Jeopardy raw, looks like vol 2 got so many words to tl, even more than vol 1. So brace yourself and good luck!

  9. Don't worry TL-san we totally understand. School is some tough shit. So don't worry besides you've done so much alone so far, how can we complain?Translating and proofreading ain't child's play.

    Thanks for all your hardwork and sacrifice so far. Good luck with school :3
