Update: About Isekai, and the future

And...here we are again.
Hey there. It's XCrossJ.
I'll make things quick.

First things first, I won't be joining Sky in his efforts to translate Isekai. Because they are deciding to translate the Light Novel, I have been rendered unable to assist them (due to my inability to read kanji without a machine).

Anyway, next up, what am I going to do now that I don't have Isekai?

For the time being, I'll basically be doing teaser translations.

First one on the list is:

Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan
神話伝説の英雄の異世界譚
The Otherworldly Tales of a Mythological, Legendary Hero

Well, the title translation is subject to change but, well, this one seemed to be requested once before during my poll.

So, I'm doing it.

For more information about this novel:

Request Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/noveltranslations/comments/3psrrk/requestjp_shinwa_densetsu_no_eiyuu_no_isekaitan/


P.S. If anyone else is gonna beat me to the punch on this one, I'm gonna cry. -_-

P.S.S If there are any recommended Web Novels that haven't been taken by another group, please let me know and I'll consider whether or not to do it.

    You have this one:
    http://ncode.syosetu.com/n1170bs/

    It's by the author of Grimgar and set in Grimgar. It seems to follow the adventures of one guy from the batch prior to Grimgar's MCs, which failed to enrol in any guild and still makes a living (and seems to have higher chances of scoring girls than Mr. Sleepyeyes).

      Haha we me too. It was left in a big cliffhanger... I kinda don't want to read it though since I fear he will end up with the spoiled oujou sama instead...

      It's true that there's a lot of it to translate, but the one who should pick it up is the author.
      It got a LN adaptation, but the adaptation was more of an spin-off centered on the character of Yoyo (but Souji is still an important character) that, to my knowledge, has gotten just a single volume out.
      The author has stated that "for the time being" he's put on hold the WN in favor of the LN.

      The WN is dead.There is a LN for it and I think the author put writing it much importance.

    This Novel about legendary hero sounds very good but I hope he remembers everything once he returns to that world...or then what's the point of starting over from scratch? The images look very badass too and my heart thump. I am very curious about it. I can only hope its not another polygamy marriage lol

    A boy, Youki, is reincarnated as a demon mini-boss in a fantasy world, but when the Hero Party comes to kill the Demon Lord, he falls in love with the cute cleric Cecilia. This love at first sight causes a problem as he is no longer a human, but part of the demon enemy she was sent to defeat. What on Earth will happen when he tries confessing to her?

    This is a fun story with short chapters. If you’re wanting a novel with depth…this isn’t what you need. But if you’re looking for a short pick-me-up fantasy romantic reincarnation comedy drama (probably) story, this is the one for you!

    this WB was being translated by haruparytranslation group, but i think they dropped it, since the last chapter was released out three months ago and seems that they will be taken another story for translate

      Solistia is translating several novels at a not-so-quick pace (RL matters are unavoidable), but while a couple of the have been dropped, that one has been not.

    Btw, have you tried to use ocr? If you haven't, maybe you can try it and widen your option with translating ln?

    Can you look into the one that oniichanyamete dropped. It's titled Yomigaeri no Maou. He dropped it like idk half a year ago or more? He stopped at chapter 23. No one has picked it up ever since. I think it's worth looking into it. :D just a suggestion :D

      I heard they dropped it for a good reason. Just what was the reason I wonder? I'm scared to find out

    Name: Sono Mugen no Saki e /Over The Infinite
    Raw Link: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n6811ck/
    Author: Gorin Futatsugi
    Illustrator: Tera Akai
    いつ、どんな形で死んだのかは分からない。
    前世の記憶を抱えたまま転生した先で待っていたのは、ゲーム的なシステムを持ちながら、あまりに現実的で過酷な日常だった。
    現代知識も意味を持たず、転生者という立場も有り触れている。生まれた村はすでに限界村落。食べる物も着る服も、将来への希望さえもない。
    現実という圧倒的重圧の伸し掛かる日常を前に、ただ生きる為の糧を求め、奴隷同然の日々を過ごす。
    かつて過ごした平成日本の記憶も、全て幻だったのではないかと諦めたその時、その街の噂話を耳にした。

    そこは、ありとあらゆる願いが叶う街。

    そんな胡散臭い噂話に最後の望みを賭け、「せめて人間らしい生活がしたい」と低い志を抱え、少年は迷宮都市へと向かう……。
    this is quite a rough translation of the synopsis so there might be mistakes, honestly it was quite hard to translate


    I don't know when and how i died.
    Reincarnating while bringing the memory of my past life what awaited me was a world with a game-like system and...a too much realistic cruel days.
    There was no use for the memories of my previous life, and the status of us, reincarnated ones is also common. The village i was born into was really out in the sticks. There wasn't any food to eat nor any clothes to wear, even the hope for the future does not exist.
    But then right before me the reality that was just an overwhelming pressure stretching upon me everyday, so that i could only live i spent days like that of a slave for food.
    Even the memories i had in japan too, made me think that everything was just a figment of my imagination but when i was about to give up, the rumours about that town reached my ears.

    On that suspicious rumour, i wager my last wish on it. 「I would at least want to live like a human」holding on the little will, I , the boy went towards the labyrinth city
