Bad news guys,
As I expected, the publisher of LMS serialized version, Kakaopage sent me an email asking me to stop translating LMS after I made my last post. I tried to work something out but no go.
As I always aim to comply to the author/publisher’s wishes, I will be officially dropping LMS. Sorry for the bad news, especially so close to the end.
If anyone else wishes to write ‘fanfiction’ of LMS then I suggest you do so in a more low-key manner.
So we are officially back on this site as Rainbow Turtle Translations has died. So updates on what is going on with LMS.
I’ve mentioned it on other places, but I have found okay raws for vol 49. There are still lots of errors but better than the previous ones and I know people are impatient =(. I know some people are like ‘why don’t you translate from the pdf or actual ebook instead of a txt file?’ However, the program I use to help make my life easier only accepts txt file. Not only does the program have an inbuilt glossary, but a txt file also allows me to copy and paste things I don’t know more easily. So yeh, txt file= needed to translate.
Due to the errors in the txt file I have, I’ve bought the ebook and have been trying to translate while comparing the txt. file to the proper ebook. It is extremely slow going. Not only that, the two new series I am translating on Wuxiaworld, Praise the Orc! and the Book Eating Magician, became popular way faster than expected. Therefore, I have been busy trying to keep up and maintain the goals I set with Patreon and sponsored chapters, leaving less time for LMS.
I did aim to release chapter 1 by the end of the month, but I don’t know if that will be happening right now with how busy I am.
Now Volume 50 and 51 of LMS. Some people have been telling me about this and yes, I already know. To give a short explanation, previously the author only published ebooks. But recently, he has started serialization, similar to a web novel, on a site called Kakaopage. Then after all the chapters of a volume are released on Kakaopage, it will take a bit before they are published in ebook form. Volume 51 has just started serialization but I won’t be translating from the web chapters.
First of all, I have absolutely no access to Kakaopage. Second of all, they are extremely strict about translation. If you read this post by Ensj, you will see that he already had to drop two novels simply because of Kakaopage. Honestly, I’ve kinda been expecting an email from them telling me to drop it, simply because LMS is one of their bigsellers. Another reason is that ebooks do tend to be more polished and with less typos than serialized works.
Anyway, last thing I want to say. I am translating LMS, albeit really really slowly. However, I don’t want to hold onto a project when I know it isn’t my main focus. If anyone else wants to translate it then I am happy to give it over to them. But I will keep translating until that happens.
Thanks for reading my long post.
Since some people don’t seem to have realized, my new site has been back up for a few hours already…
Those looking to read the latest LMS while the site is down can read the cached version here.
I posted this on the previous site but it seems some people haven’t seen it. My new site will temporarily be down due to some changes and upgrades I am making.
Dungeon Hunter volume 1 chapter 3 is released. You can read it here.
Btw, this will be the last announcement post I will make about new releases on this website.
Please check out rainbowturtletranslation.com for all future releases. I will be leaving this site up for a while for the old links. However, all old chapters are on my new website so maybe try and get used to reading from there.
LMS volume 40 chapter 1 is released. You can read it here at my new site rainbowturtletranslation.com
If the website doesn’t work like last time then you can read it here.
But if it does work, please try to read it from my new site.
Thanks.
Here is the announcement post for the new project. As people seem to have noticed, there is a overload problem with my new website. Can you all stop trying to access it so I can attempt to fix it? Thank you. LMS volume 39 chapter 9 is posted on this site.
Please check the previous announcement or the table of contents.
Now for my new project. I’ve decided to pick up Dungeon Hunter. However, Demon King’s Game was more popular than I expected. As the chapters are quite short and I was originally planning to do 3 projects when adding in LMS and ATL, I’ve decided to pick it up as well.
Unfortunately, that means I will be dropping ATL. Anyone who wants to pick it up is welcome to.
Now for my schedule. It won’t be by days but by chapters.
2 LMS – 1 dungeon hunter – 1 LMS – 1 dungeon hunter- 1 LMS – However many DKG chapters can be completed in a day –start of cycle again.
Sorry i guess there are still some kinks to work out with the new site for those who can’t access it. I’ll also upload chapter 9 here. give me 5 minutes.
