Sorry, but no updates this week. There’s been frequent power cuts in the past week and because of that my PC crashed so I lost all my files. I really have to buy a laptop. I’ve finished 18 but it is unedited. I’ll finish volume 1 this week. Really sorry. And worse than not having Internet during power cuts, which are like for 2 hours every 2 hours, THE HEAT IS KILLING ME.
dammit thats really disappointing, but at least we’ll get the rest of volume 1 at once i guess

I don’t mind a week or two of no chapters, especially if it’s not your fault. All I’m asking is that you survive the heat (so that you might translate another day)

Getting a laptop isn’t a bad choice, but how about getting an UPS? Those should be cheaper than a new laptop, and almost a mandatory buy for those using their PC in unstable electric grid anyway.

“Where is global warming?” ~Donald Trump
LikeLike
Um, on the globe? Pfft. XD But seriously I think they changed the name to climate change because certain simple simple minded people couldn’t wrap their minds around the concept that even though global temperatures are measurably on the rise winter still exists. I remember a certain politician even brought a snowball into the senate to prove global warming wrong. WTF?I know Americans are struggling with their education in comparison to the rest of the world but I didn’t think it was THAT bad.

That politician still ain’t as bad as Trump in my opinion, sadly, idiots are everywhere these days.

Have you considered doing your translating in a google doc or something similar? That way even if your power fails your progress will still be saved. Although I know if it were me then the interruption would be more of a problem than the lost progress, I hate it when I settle down intending to focus on one thing and then have to stop.

That IS the main problem. I come back from college and am about to translate and poof. Comes back in 2 hours while I’m trying to sleep or doing some shit since I’m bored, and then I’m too lazy to sit and start. I start after an hour and a half and there it goes again. That was the exact routine I repeated the whole of last week. Got sick of translating chapter 18 and 19.

That does sound very frustrating. I hope your situation improves in the future.

i understand you
but and easy solution of this problem is using google doc its automatically save every change you applied so if the power god cut you dont have to translate it again

Here is a frustrated reader! Why oh why are you leaving such incomplete story (granted, each chapter is interesting and to satisfy me ya need to translate everything, that’s a detail though.)

Madeo does a really good job translating this. I’m glad this wasn’t picked up by a MTL group. Might take awhile but it’s quality. Plus side this novel isn’t something like Coiled Dragon with over 1000+ chapters. Cheers!

I’ve lost my fair share of documents to HDDs. I finally threw HDD writing storage out the window and all my writing documents are on Google Docs now. It works for me because I don’t have limited upload/download per month, so YMMV. But you kinda also need to have access to the internet to do that, and blackouts are kinda…
