For this one month, I was happy, I was sad, I had hard times and I also became rewarded! I think that I improved a lot.
I’m very happy with the current results, Thank you guys. You made the launch of my website a success! I want to keep going like this. You’ve made translating more and more funnier for me! Although I made many mistakes, you kept supporting me. Thank you very much!
Now, I will talk about the future directions I will take.
- I added a Patreon and a Coffee button! Two new ways to support me.
- I will keep translating HDUH
- I consider dropping KYNE
- If I drop KYNE, I will take on another series.
- I’m also considering on recruiting an Editor, to bring you better quality work! Although it’s MTL, I take time and try to understand the meaning of every sentence (I’m pretty sure I progressed well with that).
So I want you to answer this poll about what you’d like me to do :

Also, I’m waiting for your different review! Tell me what is on your mind. I know that my projects are big but If I don’t try, I will never get anything!
Did the stats interest you? Do you want me to display them more often? With that much clarity? (I don’t know for example if displaying my AdSense stat is a good idea. Probably not).
Regardless of the quality of my translation that is not always accurate and not always written with the best quality, I think that I improved a lot, and I always held my schedule.
I hope that you will keep to support me and read my translations here if you like them!

thanks 🙂
Congrats dude, well you are doing a good job so no wonder and i don1t think you need to drop the series but if you want go for it it is already proven that you can pick good series AND do a good translation, my best regards from now on
Thank you, I’m glad that you supported me until now. The only thing is that it’s sometimes hard for me regarding all those negative comments! I know perfectly that “Unhappy people” are the first one to comment and the”Happy people” usually don’t say much.
Today I had read what my “reputation” is on animesuki on the HDUH tread. (See here http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=132468&page=22 )
it’s funny that those people don’t take upon themselves to translate since you’re is “so horrible” it’s annoying but sadly these people will always be a part of society just ignore them, if you a happy with it keep doing, keep in mind there are people like me that even though use MLT to read it and it’s already finished waiting for a new release from the author still takes the time to read translations like yours(you already know that MTL isn’t 100%) and give a supportive feedback
That straw poll is kinda confusing, kinda makes all three answers say don’t translate KYNE anymore.
Oups I did a mistake. The title is wrong… now I don’t know how can I do it xD well I’ll remake it wait a few minutes please.
Well at least you’ve noticed, before alot of people vote for it and ends up irreversible, maybe just make a new post announcing the change with the new poll and change the link in this post?
Yeah thank you, I edited it. I’ll make a new post right away.
No problem, didn’t want others to get the wrong idea, it’s a full blue circle for now in the straw poll hehehe.
(Well I changed it once again, did a typo… can you look through it again ? x))
It seems about right now, I think it was probably how the question was worded that made it weird along with the answers that didn’t match up. also can’t reply to the lower post as it seem to hit the limit for me, so heres the response.
I preferred the previous way. At least that way, we could guarantee you would drop that rubbish KYNE. 😛
I assumed that the second part of the answers, that explained what would happen, were correct. Dunno why the answers didn’t fit the question though
Yay congratulations on you suscessful 1 month website 😀
I don’t think you should drop KYNE yet… because we haven’t even gotten to the point where the mc meets the 3 goddesses (which I’m expecting) BUT if you still consider on dropping it, then do you like harem, romance, overpowered, etc. related WN’s?
There are good jap novels that have been dropped but I can’t remember them :/
I can recommend one, which is https://watdameow.wordpress.com/ryuu-hou-no-fumoto-ni-bokura-wa-sun-de-i-masu/ which has been dropped lol.
Check his website out! Also, Idk if [Master’s Smile] is dropped in his website.
I was thinking that If at all possible could you make individual links for each chapter (1-8+3prologue) in HDUH, because I think it would hurt you more having people have to navigate that train wreck of a website to then get to your chapters afterwards?!?
Alright alright, I did it, is it better now? 🙂
Extremely so!!! Thank you very much!!!
New to this site and the novels translated here, however I just wanted to say a few things.
1) Thanks for the work you put into translating these for us.
2) Sorry I’m not capable of donating, really do hope for the best and wish I had the money to do so (and would/will if I ever have spare money to put towards it)
3) I really enjoy reading HDUH, so thanks for picking it up/translating it- it’s hard to find novels that I enjoy like HDUH (that are trasnlated).
Anyways, good luck with everything and sorry for not giving feedback throughout the time I’ve spent on the site (not a very social person, but I felt like commenting to show some support this once).
Take care,
Teargos
Hello Teargos!
Thank you very much for the time you took writing this comment!
I love when one of my dear readers take some of his time to show how he appreciate this novel, it’s a warm feel.
