This translation of "Tales of Demons and Gods" = all rough and unedited first-pass-translations. My goal here is to simply help the reader understand the story, and not to excel in translating.

I am trying a hand a translating this novel because I really enjoy this story.  Please refrain from non-constructive comments. With speed over smoothness, there will invariably be times where the grammar is off because direct translations are easier. Since this is unpaid, please don't expect too much.
