Improved Yen Press EPUBs: https://mega.nz/folder/VN5SCAzI#JbVdu6jp7nNviDSIggECBA


I cross-referenced the Yen Press volumes with their corresponding raws to:

1. Restore terms of address and honorifics

2. Restore Japanese name order (except for when the source used Western name order for Western and mixed names)

3. Correct typos, grammatical errors and obvious mistranslations (surprisingly a lot!); vol. 4–8 in particular received chapter-by-chapter sweeps for mistranslations rather than just whole-EPUB checks, this process takes noticeably longer though, so I did not bother for the rest.

4. Standardise technical terms and proper nouns between volumes
      - magic program/sequence → magic sequence
      - activation program/sequence → activation sequence
      - anti-object/physical/matter barrier → anti-material barrier
      - thought-activated/controlled/operated CAD → thought-controlled CAD

5. Change technical terms to match Mahouka's English Wiki when judged to be a more accurate translation of the Japanese than the official variant
      - anti-magic → counter magic when referring specifically to the magic classification
      - untyped/typeless magic → non-systematic magic
      - outer/outer-system magic → outer-systematic magic
      - magic calculation region → magic calculation area

The MTL for vol. SS received the most comprehensive translation revision due to its poor quality, while also being standardised against the terms above. In saying all this, there are definitely still a few missed honorifics, typos, old terms, etc. that will have survived across the volumes, as I have manually caught some and I am only up to V4 of my re-read.

The raws for V28–32 are provided below in case someone else wants to repeat this process for the final few volumes (V28+) once they officially release in English (I may be dead or disinterested by then, or maybe neither): https://mega.nz/file/QIgDxDZQ#PbXkHTjkSxbtQraNT2iwco3QLqPswWITgrOorDHrUhs
Kinugasa-sensei, please return to your roots and write the COTE university arc as a non-linear eroge 🙏
