Yay! Milestone reached! All 420 chapters are officially translated. Wow! It only took me.. 10 years… lol. Well, only 3-4 months of actual work, but it just got stretched out a bit over a period of time… oops!
I’m tired now…. excuse me while I nap…
I promise I will work on the Epilogue and Afterword soon :3
Edit: Now that I’m awake, I think after this, I am thinking about making a PDF version with clickable links to the mini chapters within it. Idk if anyone is interested in that though? The wordpress one is cooler IMO but it’s also neat to have a PDF.
Actually, I began making a PDF version a long time ago when I first started this project, Idk if anyone remembers. I only did the beginning sections (prologue, introductory stuff, etc), the first 6 mini chapters, and then back cover, but it’s neat nonetheless. After I made some mini chapters I realized I would need to do a different format and went with the WordPress idea.
But if anyone is curious, I still have that PDF actually, in all of its short pitifulness. Here is the old PDF with the first 30 pages in English.

Congrats on the milestone! Now that it’s all there I’ll have to sit down and play this for reals sometime instead of just reading things out of order like the biggest weirdo. >_>
A PDF version would be neat, just so that it can be a download and doesn’t have to ‘live’ on the internet, so to speak. But I could sure imagine if you’d rather focus on something else for a bit after this huge undertaking! The fact that this now exists in English at all is great, thank you!

Thank you for the kind words!! I hope you enjoy reading through it when/if you do! I read this out of order too, it was a very surreal experience, sometimes I would have to back track the chapters to establish context for what I was translating, haha! It was definitely an interesting process, like putting together pieces of a puzzle.
I like your point about the PDF version being something that can be accessed offline; its not as if wordpress is forever sadly (god help me if it ever gets corrupted again, but I’ve backed it up this time!!), so yeah I think I will definitely do the PDF thing. TY for the feedback!
