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.

  3. So what if it's being translated if the translator enjoys the story and is wanting to increase their skill with translating then I don't understand the issue. The translator is under no obligation to pick only projects that aren't actively being translated. If you don't want to read then don't come here simple as.

    1. She enjoys translating and decided to start at 200 because she enjoys it. What doesn't make sense about that? That's like me asking you why you would eat candy instead of something more nutritious. If you enjoy it, that's all the sense it needs to make. Get outta here with your negativity.

    2. She didn't want other translators to feel as if she was going to steal this novel from them. It's called being considerate of the other translator. Don't go being disrespectful to others who are willing to do translations of their own. Keep in mind that the translators are all working hard to get this novel translated for the READERS and not their own goal!

  5. Cant you collaborate with the guy doing TDG? we are nowhere near 200 and this is kind of like torture. unless that's your intentions the all i gotta say is good job.

  6. Then why the fuck are you complaining? It makes no sense that you are complaining when he has no obligation to you asshole. If he wants to start at chapter 200, 300 or 400 he can and it doesn't concern you one little bit. lol no one cares about your ideals and morality about how and when should a person translate.

    1. I don't believe he's the type of guy who will do that. I truly hope and believe he will continue to translate as he already has.

  10. Keep translating this novel! Your English is much better than the original translator's! Most importantly, if you enjoy it, you shouldn't let other people's horribly idiotic reasoning dictate your actions. There are so many people who's happiness you're contributing to by translating this novel (me, for example) and you shouldn't stop. Those who lash out at you are doing so under false and hypocritical notions of "translator etiquette." Bull shit. If you enjoy it, do it. If you enjoy it, and it makes other's happy, put even more effort toward it. Those who don't like can have the freedom to avoid coming to this blog to read it. You putting it on this page does not force anyone to read it. Keep up the good work Star's Wish.

  11. I really hope you do consider on continuing the translation for this novel. I truly think it's great that you are willing to take the time to translate this novel. I don't think you should pay attention to those who don't like it since they can easily make a choice to not read. Although they don't, they still read it anyhow. I believe if things are as is, the chapters won't be out till next year. And a note to all those impolite users, stop bashing people who are willing to spend their time to do something they want to do. If you don't like what you see, don't look at the content.

  12. Keep it going plz! You are awesome! I love this novel and you translators for using your time to do this novel. Any chapter is better than no chapter in my book. Please continue!

  13. I'm sorry to ask but when would we likely to see the next chapter? I don't want to rush anyone or burden them but if there's an estimate date, it would be GREAT news to us readers. TDG is truly a great light novel. If I could only read the original content to satisfy my eagerness but I can't =/ so I'll just wait for you godly translators. In Translators do we TRUST! =P

  14. I thought it was etiquette to contact the person/group doing a translation before you start. If you dont know this, you must be new to this side of the internet [When in Rome, live as the Romans do]. If you asked Thyaeria if its fine to do some translation for your own satisfaction then post his agreement here, everybody will be happy since they wont feel threatened.

    You are right in your own way but at the same time it offensive. Its like saying the truth and being frank is right but its always not the best. You don't tell a person he is ugly even if he is because its etiquette. Similar thing here, its etiquette to get some permission from the person doing the translation, or else the community will feel bad.

    Word: Etiquette
