  16. Hey there! As a fellow novice translator (you're doing way better and faster than me though LOL), can I ask what sources you're using to help out with understanding? I swear I saw on one of the chapters a comment mentioning good sources like jisho.org, but I can't find it now.

    Thanks!

    1. I'm using translation aggregator, google translate, weblio and jisho. I, myself don't think my translations is that good though.

      Delete
    2. I don't know how accurate the translation is to the raws, but the meaning comes across just fine through English. Ultimately that's what matters as most people won't really cross-check in the first place...

      Your method is way faster than mine of looking up the words and parsing what type of grammar rules it falls into, haha.

      Delete
    3. Let me add, google translator is not the only one autotranslator and there's a lot of better ones!
      let's compare a very simple sentence.
      それとこれとは話が違うのだよ。
      google translate - It is the difference between talking the same with this.
      http://www.freetranslation.com/ - It is this, this, and the story is different.
      (i heard, the best one seems to be this one - ) http://honyaku.yahoo.co.jp/ - A story is different from it and this.

      Delete
  17. それとこれとは話が違うのだよ。

    My translation : This and that matter are different stories. (different from each other.)

    Btw I loved this novel and I want to help on translating it. I am pretty sure I can translate without using any auto translation tools. Maybe I can not be as fast as you, however I think I can pull a chapter everyday. If you are okay with that, you can reach me from : umutbulgu@hotmail.com
    Waiting for your answer.

  25. Howdy,

    I wanted to get in touch as I am in the process of creating a platform in which translators can increase their popularity and reach a much larger audience by sharing their reader base with each other. We are making a platform to benefit translators, they each get to create ‘mini sites’ which will host their content alongside other translators within the same genre. We are not looking to take anything from you and have methods in place to ensure by sharing a readership, each translator will only benefit to the maximum extent. I would like to talk with you more about this in detail.

    Please let me know if you have interest?

  30. Hey, you won't get to it for a few more days, but since you added it to the list, I just wanted to mention... "人魔大戦裏", the "裏" shouldn't be translated as "back". In this context, it's more accurate to say it's "behind the scenes" or "secret".

    1. M guessing that most of the different perspectives are all from different timelines. Or so they say.

    2. Sidestory Starts the same time as Kumo's story. (they are all babies) But Sides Story quickly time leaps years forward. meanwhile, Kumo's story is still taking place in the same year-ish(Don't know the exact progress of her time, but it cant be that much)

      The Human-Demon Great War, takes place maybe around 12-18 years after they are all born. Since the prince gains "Hero" after his brother dies in that war, and he has been in the academy for several years now, I would guess 14-16 years AB(after born) I mainly guess that number cause that's about the age most "Hero" become one. and since he hasn't graduated school yet, I don't think he is an adult yet.

    1. Yup. You're right. Only a person is translating this which is me. The speed is just because it's never edited.

    3. If there's an editor, the speed might drop depending on the editor. And, I want to catch up with the raws. Blastron(I think) is going to translate it with better English. So, you can read his for better understanding. Mine is basically machine translated.

      It's a great pity that she hold spider form for too long. Half girl half spider would have worked out better.
      My compromise is these spiders. I will up more later. :lazy:

  41. I've tried reading some other fan translated novels, but they don't really hold my interest. It might seem ironic, but I think it's because I'm a little bit jaded and have higher standards for english writing. So rather than reading some translator's shoddy attempt at writing, I find that I prefer something like this where the it is much closer to its Japanese original in sentence structure and flow. It's just something I enjoy as a bit of a weeab :>
    Keep up the good work!

    Just wanted to mention that the title you have there for chapter 150 doesn't really make grammatical sense in English. "勇者と魔王のくせに生意気だ" would sound better if it was translated as something along the lines of: "You're just the Hero and the Demon King, don't get cocky!"

    "Don't be impertinent" also works instead, but it sounds more formal.

  51. Hi, Thank you so much for the translation and hardwork.
    Just want to inform that there is a chinese translation over here:
    http://www.lightnovel.cn/thread-829137-1-1.html
    scroll down to 4th post there are some explanations for neta/reference used in Kumoko, maybe you'll be interested, spoilers alert as it include further chapters.

    ReplyDelete
  52. More translation suggestions:

    分体 = In this case refers to the Queen that's hanging out with Kumoko. "Fission" sounds weird, that really only refers to splitting atoms for nuclear power. I would suggest "spare body", "extra body".

    魔王の裏で - Once again, 裏 can mean a few different things. In this case, it's about the parallel will that's invading the Demon King. "Behind" isn't the right translation, "Inside the Demon King" would fit much better.

  74. With the current translation rate of three chapters per day and the writing rate of the author of a chapter a day, won't you lose content to translate in a week? When that happens, will you be picking up another work or just continue translating as the work is posted by the author?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I don't think that I will pick up another novel because my university life is going to start soon. Once I catch up with the raws, at least, I have time for my studies even if I translate it. If I have more time, I might pick up another novel.

      Delete
    2. Yeah, you should take it easy. You did a good job until now, don't need to stress yourself anymore. Btw, the release speed of the author in the past was somewhat quicker, what happened? Is it because summer vacation ended or is it a slump? Was there a message from the author explaining this? Will we be ever able to expect 2-3 chapters a day like it was in the past (talking about the raws)?

      Delete
    3. Maybe the author is busy with the light novel. It's usually like this

    4. I seriously hope this gets a light novel adaptation. Want some pics with Shiro and Ariel-chan! Are you just guessing or have you read anything about a light novel adaptation coming? The WN is relatively new so I guess it might still take some time for a LN adaptation to be released. Though considering how awesome and addictive the story is it's just a matter of time.

  75. Was this always translated by the same person? Last few dozen chapters or so have been getting a bit hard to understand. Was fine at first, but last few I barely could understand what was going on.

    1. Um, yes, it's me, only me. Sorry for the quality.

      Delete
    2. I don't think so. The translation quality is as good as before. But the content of each chapter increases. Anyone jump reads will miss like this. Also one who thought Side Story is nothing getting this confusion too.

      Side story is really not side story, but main. Ignore it, and be prepared for wrath of Shun.

      Delete
    3. No Oly, it has nothing to do with jumping around. It is the actual content, the words written. I could read the first hundred and so chapters (side stories included) just fine, but the last dozen or so have become hard to understand. Its because the phrasing has gotten rough. Like this for example from I think chapter 208
      "He make sure that I'm not crushed even though he fell."
      It should read something like this instead:
      "He made sure that I wasn't crushed even though he fell."
      That's one of the easier ones to figure out, some of the others are too difficult for me to fix to use as an example here.

      And Joshua your doing better than I could since I only know English, I was just wondering because it was much better at the start. Maybe you are trying to do too much at once and rushing? Looking back, back at chapter 181 it wasn't that bad, I was still able to understand it fine then, not sure exactly when the real change happened.

      Delete
    4. I don't know. I always thought the early chapters are more rough. I just type like normal. Maybe it's because the contents going more different than the early chapters.
      Well, my tenses are not good. I don't know most of the times. I just take it from the translation and try to phrase it my way. Because English is not my mother language, or perhaps it is, but English is pretty limited in my country. So, my English became broken. But even with those words, I understand the sentence. Well this is only because I'm used to broken English.

      Delete
    5. Really, its understandable enough for me, even if it gets a tad incomprehensible at times. If its really an issue, all you need is to get an editor to double check your work and you're golden.

    6. getting a editor or a proofreader would make the pace slow down though~

  77. Hey since you're pretty close to catching up with the raws I was wondering if you might be willing to help out with this
    https://omegaharem.wordpress.com/demon-king-reincarnation/
    It's a fairly show series that is apparently done already if I understand correctly but translation is pretty slow so if you might be willing to try to help them with the remaining nine or so chapters that might be great.


    As for a more permanent project if you want to work on something else might I suggest Re:Monster translations over at the Wikia? http://re-monster.wikia.com/wiki/Novel. A lot of the "Chapters" somewhere past 200 up to 320 are damn near unreadable due to being rather choppy machine translate. So they could always use an extra hand to improve some of that.

    Or maybe you could just help with editing and cleaning up grammar or something.

    Although I guess you could also just take a long break or focus on cleaning and editing this series further. I'm just trying to provide some suggestions.
