My circumstances...

Hey. XCrossJ here.

Some of you might think I've gone and died. I'm still around. I've just come for an obligatory status update.

My Rage Post

For those of you who saw my (first ever) rage comment (sorta) on LoliQ's site, I'm sorry. I've just been stressed with Real Life and leechers hounding me (or the team for that matter) isn't helping me calm my nerves. I'll try and...refrain from that sort of post again...

Exam Period

Now then. First and foremost, for those who have not yet seen the status on the Progress Report, I am in my EXAM PERIOD. This will mean several things:

  • I will be less involved with the KnW project until exams are over
  • I will only be a TL for this period of time. I will not be taking editor/proofreader duties whatsoever
  • I will be slow to update KnW if at all
Now, this does not mean I'm abandoning KnW. It just means that I am prioritising RL for a little bit.

I have already completed translating Chapters 124 and 133. I'll probably finish 134 sometime during the weekend. I will refrain from releasing these chapters until I'm sure of their quality (basically, I'm waiting for 123 to be complete so I can reference it with 124). Still, I will still somewhat be involved in the project (or at least will try to be).

Ah, by the way, my Exam Period ends June 18 (roughly). I believe that ELYSION is also coming back from his hiatus at that time so we should be picking up speed again?

Side Project

Some of the members of our KnW team and I have decided to start a little 'side project'. I won't disclose too much yet but I think you might(?) like it when we unveil it.

Nidoume no Jinsei wo Isekai de

Yeah...I kinda just stopped paying attention to this one. I'm sorry, but I already got my hands full with RL. I'm pretty sure EL is still taking care of the project (I think?). Either way, I won't be focusing to much on this WN until my workload decreases...

    1. I know. I just haven't had the time to talk to both EL and them (YotsubaSilver I think?) about it yet. Don't know if I will, but I'm focusing on RL at the moment...

  3. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself, do whatever you need to to keep yourself well. I know that there are bad leechers out there, but there are plenty of us who will also try our best to support you without bothering you too much, but if you are feeling bothered by us please let us know so we can correct ourselves. Raging is fine as it let's people know when you are stressed out, and I'm sure everyone who is reasonable enough will understand and accept our errors.

  7. Everyone is entitled to rage out now and then, people whos exposed to the general asshattery of the world to the degree translators are even moreso. Just focus on your studies and translate when you can and want to and the non-douchebag part of the LN world will cheer you folks on

  8. Err. Hello. I was wondering if you could let me be an editor for KnW. I have been an editor for three other groups though all three focussed on chinese novels. I believe i am capable enough to be an editor and there by rerucr the pressure on you guys by helping you with the chapters.

    1. Sorry, but I'm currently a bit preoccupied with IRL. If you want to join, could you comment on NB's blog, Blazing Translations? He's the one that has to approve the applications in the end so it'd probably be easier on you then having to relay it through me.

  9. I found no rage post under your name at LoliQ's. Can you link it to me?

    Also, any news from CapsUsingShift? Is it test season for him too? I hope it's that and not something worse what's preventing him from giving life signals...

    Don't worry about showing a bit of a temper, there are people able to make even saints lose their cool, no one is going to get mad at you from that (except those people some more who don't know enough to judge properly, but try anyways). I hope you nail your exams (as I'm not sure of the system followed in your country, since I don't know which country you are from, I can't give a grade, but I wish you get the highest possible).

    2. If that's rage, most people are on the level of savage beasts. It's very rare to see a rage post so well written, well argumented and, above all, so polite.
      About the matter of CUS, it seems that in his case it was not exam season, but the weeks before a long holiday tend to call for IRL trouble. I still hope everything gets resolved without no one getting hurt.

    3. Thanks for pointing it out Ian Adrian, I have been looking for it for a while. I think most people would overlook it as an informative post, rather than a rage post, but either way, I appreciate that post because of how informative and well written it was.
