Hiatus Until Exam Ends

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the comments, it makes me happy when I see that people are enjoying the translations. I will be translating very slowly for the next 2 weeks until my exam ends -- 2 weeks later (keeping fingers crossed that I'll pass). Just a heads up. :)

As an alternative to checking back often, you may choose to subscribe to the story on NovelUpdates.

See you again in 2 weeks!

Sincerely,
Star'sWish

Thoughts 02

1. I am not going to be a consistent translator.
I will translate whenever I feel like it, if I want to post random pictures on this site or some random thoughts that annoy you, don't read. It's my blog, not a translation site for people to bash, I can do whatever I like.

2. I am not going to replace or compete with Thyaeria.
I don't care what you think, I got tired of trying to sooth your fears. Anyone with brains will deduce that I have zero dedication to this since the only thing I gain from this is thanks which makes me happy and does motivate me. Furthermore, I started at 200 so as to not coincide with Thyaeria to begin with.

3. I am not looking to stir some pot as evident from 1 and 2. I have better things to do in life than to be embroiled in a nonsensical drama I had no intention of starting.

I don't have an obligation to take non-constructive comments.
I will delete negative comments that I don't like.

To those with gave me encouragement and thanks, THANK YOU, it made me learn that not everyone here was mean after all. All your comments made a huge difference to me.

To those who have fears, I can't help you, you wouldn't believe me anyway.

To rude commentators, just go away, I don't want to have to wallow in your negativity.

Sincerely,
Star'sWish.

Thoughts 01

Oh wow... I didn't expect there to be so many comments on how there is already an active translator for TDG. My apologies. I was not aware that there is some sort of translation etiquette. I just like the story and I figured since it is now being translated around ~110, I could provide something like a spoiler for those who would like to jump ahead.

UPDATE 01: I talked to Thyaeria, and he would like to keep TDG as a personal project so there will be no collaboration on TDG.

Update Schedule

Since this is new to me, I do not have an update schedule. I will translate quickly if lots of people enjoy reading. So please tell me if you do. :)

Otherwise, I will do this leisurely, which is fine too considering I am starting quite far back. If you would like to request any other chapters, please let me know too.

Reason why I am translating: Sudden whim + I have been a leech for a long time.

__________________________________________

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.
