!!!! Finally after a long wait its VOLUME 4 has been released. I will provide all 4 volumes after sometime  

@ goldvyrn - Many thanks for the extensive explanation. It certainly clears up a lot of the questions and reservations I had about your translation because, and from admittedly only reading select chapters and not reading it in full, on the surface it had a lot of signs of being just another mass produced AI translation. The like of which several groups are now whacking out endlessly every day to populate their paywall models, GalaxyTL being one of them. And tbh the comments your friend left didn't do much in providing reassurance. The opposite if anything.

But your post has definitely done the job of providing that reassurance, particularly the part about how you're checking it because that was probably my biggest concern due to having read enough of the mass produced AI translations floating around to know they can, and do, screw things up. Such as the problems we both noticed with that ChatGPT translation, where it screwed up badly. So they can't be trusted to translate to the extent of there being no needed to check their output. Your explanation for why/how you are releasing chapters so quickly is just as helpful as well, given that fast isn't synonymous with quality for a reason.

We can agree to disagree on choice of Omake/Extra, although it's good to know it was a decision you made after giving it some thought, rather than only using Extra because the AI did. And honorifics will always get a thumbs up from me. I never like seeing the translations that remove them.

And totally get you with the author's line spacing because "honestly thought it was some kind of website glitch" was one of my first thoughts as well when trying to come up with an explanation for it. But after trying to remain faithful to it when I made my source file I started to understand what the author was aiming for, and as I posted about earlier in this thread he often uses it to simulate a long pause for dramatic effect. Which I actually think works well, providing you scroll read it and not page flip. But it's a pain to reproduce it faithfully while also trying to use some judgement in terms of reining in some of the author's more excessive spacing, which can be well over the top. And from your perspective of posting the translations if you did retain it then readers, and unaware the source is the author, would start thinking the GalaxyTL website was glitched.


One question I do have about something I noticed in one of the select few chapters I read. Why did you go with Baron Sarar? I can't recall seeing any MTL or AI give Sarar, with most giving Salah and less so Salar. And the original editor went for Salah, and it being the translator who put the most effort in out of the original collection this novel had. As you know choosing between Rs and Ls when translating Japanese can be tough, and while Baron Sarar might be okay, Sara Sarar doesn't seem like a good outcome, and not when compared to Sara Salah or Sara Salar.

Anybody got from 389 to latest y*nder?
