anyone want to share their 誰が勇者を殺したか epub?

>WNs I eagerly await updates for die or go on hiatus not long after I start following them

What a pain

>character has "mixed blood"

why is this?

>>45163782
pretty sure that's just the normal curve for any WN, keeping up with daily updates forever is not something everyone can do and most die in less than 100 chapters anyway

>>45163983
because it's escapist fiction

why is this?

>>45164083
dude calm down I asked a question. Been reading a lot of LNs lately and every time this came up I noticed it's almost always the mom that's the gaijin and wanted to know if there was a reason for it.

To be fair, "Just ignore the problem bro" is exactly why big boards went to shit, to stop colonization efforts you have to actively fight it back and calling it out is the bare minimum.
It's not like it's some covert secret conspiracy either, glowies and similar bad actors infiltrating groups like that is well documented to the point of comedy.

Mothers in anime/manga/LN are just big boobs version their daughters. So if the daughter is a blonde hair blue eyes mixed blood, the mother should be blond hair blue eyes pure blood

>>45165356
It's really cool to read the story unfold like a documentary. It show the "hero" in lots of different ways, like from different viewpoints. But as the story goes on, we start to learn what the hero really looked like and how he died. The mystery was interesting, but what I loved the most were the characters The grandpa's story, the one they called the hero of the borderlands is my favorite

anyone ever tried the Lucky Star LNs?

How do you format your shit for an e-reader? Most of the books I have seem to default to having way too much of a margin, which I just thought was Amazon being shit, but there's the odd book with no shitty margins at all, at least left and right. Do you really have to go through and add negative margins to everything you want to read?

>>45187126
Gonna need more info than that, chief.
What device/software are you reading on?
Did you convert the file at any point?
I exclusively read Calibre converted books on my Paperwhite and it just werks

>>45187259
Oasis. I have to convert through Calibre to azw3 because for some reason the default mobi fucks up vertical formatting and made something horizontal once so I never used it again.

It "werks", but on books that are properly formatted, I get an extra 3-4 lines a page thanks to the lack of margins. The other 99% of the time? It's just blank space, wasting my time and forcing an extra 30 odd page turns a book.

>>45187330
Yeah, that is an issue with converted azw files. I think there's an option somewhere to add an overwriting css rule while converting. Either do that, or convert to kfx instead. This too wastes a little bit of space in margins but I personally find it satisfying

>>45187660
I mean, it works on some epub>azw converts, and I don't know why, I can't see any negative margins. I don't think the file type is the issue, just how the book was originally formatted.

>>45187126
are you using windows
download kindlegen.exe
drag your epub on kindlegen.exe
it should produce a mobi with good margins
if you like to tinker look at this https://github.com/kevinhendricks/KindleUnpack
you can use it to create azw3 instead

>>45187694
What's your output profile set to? That might be messing with the layout

calibre is a bloated piece of shit that can't deal with a lot of vertically formatted books
if you absolutely have to use it because kindlegen doesn't work standalone, here is the extra css you have to add during conversion

body {
writing-mode: vertical-rl;
-epub-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
-webkit-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
line-break: normal;
-epub-line-break: normal;
-webkit-line-break: normal;
}

for some books this still won't be enough, in which case you have to edit the azw3 file. go to metadata and add this line

metadata xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
<meta name="primary-writing-mode" content="vertical-rl"/>
</metadata>

save the book and it will finally look good
you can test it with kindlepreviewer

>>45187906
I thought kindlepreviewer would help, but when I put in a book I know has good margins as an azw3 as the original epub, it gives me the dogshit default margins. Either the azw3 fixed the margins, or the preview tool is shit. Either way, I can't use it, because it only takes epubs.

>>45187974
>Either way, I can't use it, because it only takes epubs.
download version 3.48 which can take azw3

Finished listening to vol. 19 of Honzuki, my first audiobook series, might need subscribe to audible to get vol 20 since no one uploaded it yet. I really liked having anime Main as the narrator and the acting was surprisingly good not only for Main but also for the supporting characters.
Can I expect this level of narration/acting for other audiobooks? Any recommendations?

>>45189616
Can you upload the audiobooks anon? first time I heard the main seiyuu is doing the narration for more than 3 volumes, so I'm interested

Anyone have Evil Lord spin off epub?

>>45187330
KOReader has an option to ignore publisher css so any formatting, including margins, can be standardized on any file. You won't have to cenvert or edit the files permanently. Works on Kindle Oasis and azw/3 files

>>45193606
Yeah, I've been considering koreader too. There's a new JB that finally supports my FW so I might try it out.

>oral history song in tearmoon vol 10
This author is a fucking hack, lol. Adding -ん to the end of every sentence doesn't make it a ballad just like adding -わ doesn't make it ojousama slang. It's vexing seeing the nice premise and the emotional contrasts with flashbacks getting wasted by the author's half-assedness

Any idiot-proof tutorial to remove kindle DRM and keep the high res image?

>>45195195
If you use calibre, install dedrm and azwimagemerge(to merge the hd images) extensions. Drag and drop the azw file from the kindle downloads folder and you are set. Reconvert the azw file to remove any remaining ownership data.

Tried out KOreader, seems far better than Kindle stock for margin options, but it defaults to horizontal text for some reason and I can't find a way to make it vertical.

>>45195014

Tearmoon is lewd? maybe I should read it

I wish I was tech savvy enough to convert audiobook narration into whatever seiyuu voice I wanted. I'm pretty sure that should be possible with AI right now, even if costly.

>>45200450
if you run the AI model locally or through your own cloud hosting you can do it with no upkeep cost
setting up the AI voice cloning is just a pain in the ass and only really works out of the box with the filthy gaijin language, you will have to do some severe wrangling to get it working with japanese and have it flow well

>>45152375
How often is the transition from webnovel to light novel harmful to a series? I know Rebuild World is still popular, but I feel like the pacing and the way it sets up Akira in the LN is so much more generic and less interesting than the WN. I worry that it'll make people who start the series with the anime think the whole franchise is overrated next year, like how the Tower of God anime ended up.

Does anyone have loli to JK range romance/SoL LN recommendations? I'm reading 1LDK 2 JK right now and it's okay.

>>45201530
does otonari tenshi count?

>>45201554
Forgot to mention, ideally I'd like the MC to be an older male in the relationship, same-age isn't as interesting. I have watched the anime version of that and I thought it was meh, I might try the LN later.

>>45201530
There's that one fantasy one where the guy pics up the kid(demon race) and raised her but turns into an usagi drop situation. The kid also grew up though.

>>45201929

Is there any reason not to delete downloaded epubs after importing to calibre? I read something about calibre saving junk in the epub files so for now I'm not deleting anything

>>45209273
>Is there any reason not to delete downloaded epubs after importing to calibre
None. I am hearing it first time as for the junk data but calibre doesn't modify the file itself while importing so that shouldn't be an issue.

Anyone got tearmoon vol 12-14?

>>45200639
>Akira in the LN is so much more generic and less interesting than the WN
Every time i hear this complaint, it almost always boils down to "he doesn't stay a full blown schizo murderhobo willing to drop anyone at the drop of a hat"

>>45204671
I looked before to no avail.

>>45209393
I searched and the problem apparently isn't with calibre imports but rather with the calibre reader because of this option that is on by default, I never used calibre to read anyway and turned the setting off now so it's ok. I guess I'll stop keeping duplicates.

>>45209925
Which funnily enough always seems to come from newfags that don't read much because murderhobos being so common in the early 10s made me think of that as generic and the LN version as having actual depth.

>>45209996
That's a shame, I'll probably just get them from Buyee or something.

>>45209273
what is this calibre junk files meme

>>45218424
calibre reader saves bookmarks into the epub by default, you can just turn it off and it doesn't matter if you use calibre just to organize and convert your books.

>>45209925
>>45210236
Nah, not that anon but Akira(and Katsuya)'s portrayal did got fucked in the LN. Sure Akira's a murderhobo in the web, but the narrative doesn't really portray him in a good light nor was he justified in his acts of violence, since he's still developing his cognitive and mental faculties. Katsuya on the other hand got dumbed down way too hard, he's much more ignorant and provocative when compared to his WN counterpart. The narrative in the LN also overplays Akira and Katsuya's "rivalry" heavily, with Akira basically one-upping whatever Katsuya brags about everytime.
Not to say the LN is an unsalvageable trash however, since some changes and developments (mainly Yumina's mini-arc) were great for the story. Still doesn't justify Rebuild World getting into KonoRano ranking more than once though.
>>45200639
Like most things, it depends. Most adapted series is an exact 1:1 copy of its original counterpart (at least for the first ~5 volumes, because they're dead after that), but there are some rare ones that's basically a different series altogether in the get go. Realistically speaking, the most harm that can be done due to an adaptation occurring would probably be the original being canned (Faraway Paladin, Log Horizon, Rebuild World), though narrative/story-wise it may range from a simple retcon (Sevens, Danmachi, MT) to an outright severe character assassination (LDM, RW, Overlord (both figuratively and literally in this case)).
>With the anime
Secondaries' "opinions" doesn't matter, no matter what others say. You can only trust the primary work's consumer, biased it may be when talking to them fags and shitposters. Muramasa will always be a Kamige no matter what, Horizon will always be autistic no matter what, and Moyashimon will always need a college degree (to read) no matter what.
>Tower of God

>A whole volume to poke fun at Brits
But anon, that's not the Not!Brexit arc of Not!England. Gosh, the existence of Legendaria itself is an affront to UK.

>new trpg chapter
In which system can a level 5 fighter one turn kill an incarnation, lol

>>45220020
katsuya was always trash. the wn version is better simply because he appears less, and even in the pickpocket arc he was still a little shit. yumina punching him in the ln was an outright improvement.
The LN doesn’t portray akira in a positive light until he is allowed to come to terms with his trauma, something the wn never manages to pull off in a believable way.
calling the ln version of akira character assassination makes me lean towards >>45210236 ‘s assessment

so... when's arifureta after?

>>45227308
if i had to guess the author is going to take a vacation after the WN ends, then it will be a possibility

Can't help you with the finding it though.

i don't think anyone really cares about what the goblin slayer author writes after so many volumes of nothing
then there's somehow a third red flag with the wizardry logo on it, and a fourth one in it being so pointlessly edgy at first glance it would make even teens in the 00s think it's going too far and thus there's no point
not to say everyone thinks this, but more like i wouldn't be surprised if the reason the usual uploaders don't care about this one if one of those reasons

>>45220020
>Realistically speaking, the most harm that can be done due to an adaptation occurring would probably be the original being canned
>Faraway Paladin
The WN for that got canned?

>>45227308
SoonTM

>>45227308
It's been over an year since the main series ended and there isn't even a squeak about after's publication, so probably never

Konosuba might not be very well written but there is something comforting about it. I often find myself rereading random volumes. It's easy to get back in because of the funny characters dynamic.

>>45236089
>Konosuba might not be very well written
Can you elaborate on this? In my eyes, Konosuba achieved exactly what it set out to do; I can't quite see how it'd be not well written unless you intentionally constrain your definition of well written to be something that Konosuba isn't.

>>45237990
nta but even in a vacuum of it doing what it's setting out to do it still relies on repeating the exact same 1-2 jokes for each character into perpetuity, and the story itself tries to have a sitcom-esque status quo which doesn't really work in a novel that long

>what is rokujouma no shinryakusha

>>45239272
Series that I lost interest because it still continues despite it already reached the true end

>MC about to fuck beautiful virgin
>author starts releasing the weekly chapters from other perspectives
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Although knowing this author it'll either get interrupted or just a quick 朝チュン..

Does anyone know where I can download ブラザーズ コンフリクト? I tried the links in the OP but I couldn't find anything

Can someone explain rokujouma to me? From the content I watched in the anime I don't get how the LN could last so long and I don't even see any characters I know in the later volume covers.
I'm not closed to the idea of reading it but I want to know if it's the same series all the way throughout or if the later volumes are too detached from the early volumes.

>>45240373
>how the LN could last so long
9 harem members each got multiple volumes for themselves. Then 9 of them fusion into one goddess then split again, and said goddess became separate harem member. Then I stopped reading at volume 30 something

Reading youjo senki in japanese for the first time from vol 13 and I feel like the prose itself isn't as difficult as some people make it out to be. But there are a shitton of references I have no clue about which wasn't the case for the tled vols. They haven't straight up deleted unknown or difficult references, did they?

just listened to 15 min of Adachi going mental on a phone with Shimamura

>>45242510
If you don't know your military vocabulary, that series will wreck you. That's probably where most people get lost. That and being historically illiterate.

They don't need to recognize it themselves for their MTL solution to delete it for them.

>>45253344
Me_____

listened to vol.1 and quite liked it
had a bit of a ggo vibe which is my favorite sao arc

>>45255241
I heard that the manga, WN, and light novel all has different story approach, is that true?

>>45256086
Manga and LN make you attached to a character then unceremoniously killed her

Any opinions on Kagejitsu Vol. 6?
I think I liked it better than 5, felt like a lot more of the jokes landed. Kanade best girl and I'm glad the Akane sideplot is finally being picked up again.

>>45256146
I liked it, my only complaint was the usual shit of 5 and 6 were a single volume split up, but the expanded stuff lessens the blow, but doesn't justify the long wait.
Between this and the gacha expanded lore it feels like the status quo is over and the story is leaving it's prelude stage, which gives me high expectations for vol 7 which will just make the wait a pain again.
Especially because it feels the author is finally actually using the characters he already set up without it getting stale by adding just enough new characters, Christina was based, Kanade was cute, glad the Akane subplot wasn't abandoned like half the other subplots in the story (like Yukime and to an extent Rose), mixed feelings about the volume not ending with an atomic but after volume 4 shoehorning it in maybe that's for the best.
This will probably be controversial but I do like half the girls being sociopaths or at least off in the head in some way, there's no other way to add more characters to the dynamic Cid has when all the softy doormat seats were already taken by Gamma, Epsilon, Rose, etc, and Alexia already took the pissy tsundere seat.
Another complaint will be the story has been in Midgar for far too long and the place is just not that interesting, if there's yet another volume in Midgar without it being the civil war in full it will actually feel stale.

>>45256146
christina sex

>>45256146
it has 5 full stars on amazon more than any other volume so i guess people enjoyed it

>>45258563
that's actually impressive, especially after the wait would make judgement on it harsher

>>45256146
It was alright. I didn't enjoy the general setup, Cid running around killing a bunch of mooks wasn't interesting and the pay-off wasn't worth it. Ultimately, I liked 5 more even though it missed the mark too, the Christina/Suzuki dynamic was generic but fun. I think the main problem is that JTR didn't really interact with anyone, he's just a creepy killer from start to finish and Christina just takes up his mantle of her own accord. All the other alternate Cids were seemingly weak at first, tying into the fantasy and the comedy.

>>45256146
Not bad but probably the worst in the series. Kagejitsu is incompatible with vol long breathers imo

>>45248096
i don't really blame him, it's difficult and boring to dedicate your life to pissing off people who wronged you

Will try those, feels like I will land a mine for each one but tho
>>45256146
I liked it better than 5, mostly for the kaede dynamic, but as an anon said, kagejitsu isn't compatible with long volume plot, I liked it much more when it was 2 arcs/1 vol, kind of feels like the author is padding to get a full volume worth of content, and I do guess, him being out of ideas is what's causing the long delay between each vol after vol3, which followed the wn at that time

>>45256146
My enjoyment of it was diminished by the wait, having said that I did like it, after 6 I feared the gimmick would get stale but looks like the author knows what he's doing.

Any LN where the oyakodon is the main romance?

Or at least where the main girl is a milf.

>>45256146
i liked it
looking forward to volume 7 in 2025

>>45258846
>Not bad but probably the worst in the series.
Funny, I thought it was the best in the series.

Not relevant but don't know where else to ask: I'm want a tablet for LNs but also that's the right size/resolution for manga so I don't have to zoom and there's little to no whitespace on any of the margins, got any recs?

>>45264247
i'm still using my ipad air2 for manga
shit's kino

>>45264437
I'm so averse to getting yet another Apple product but everyone says the same thing so maybe I will, thanks

>>45264437
How do you read manga on iOS?

>>45264247
i use the amazon fire 10, readera for LNs and tachiyomi for manga. it was like 70 dollars I think and I have no complaints.

>>45264247
Any tablet that's 10 inches has 2k resolution and preferably 6 to 8 gig ram would work. Although the only reputable cheap tablet I can think of is the redmipad se, which should be around 200 to 250 usd. I bought a cheap one and had to refund it because the digitizer broke down. The color is shit too, which is why I wanted to buy the redmipad one since at least that brand pass the minimun quality compared to a cheap chink tablet. There's also the regular redmipad but that's a mediatek cpu compared to the qualcomm one im the SE but much cheaper.

>>45265143
app is called panels

>>45264247
I use a Samsung Fold 2 (there are newer ones now). I find it great that I always have it with me as a phone but can easily read on it on the go. It's a bit smaller than a standard e-reader but it's big enough for me.

>>45264247
Best tablets for manga and LNs are by default apple's one because they are the only one with A4 paper size screen ratio

I got scammed into reading LV999の村人. Why does the web novel have a メイド tag if there is no maid character in it?

>>45275011
what are your favorite maid characters bro

>>45256146
It was, as the kids these days say, "kino".
I liked it, I can relate to Cid's paradoxical loner autism of knowing people but not really connecting with them in any meaningful way.

Just finished volume 14 of Youjo Senki. It's nice to have Tanya and Zettour back in action again after all of these years and the plan this time was pretty wild. And let's face it, Tanya blowing up communists never gets old. Anyway, I really feel like the series is going to end soon with the direction it seems to be headed.

>>45289856
just an old book I'm reading

>>45291180
I felt like it was going to end "soon tm" by volume 12 so you never know.

Is "The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt" Light Novel on hiatus?
The last JP volume (V12) came out in September of 2022, but the last officially translated volume is V11 and that comes out tomorrow.

Is it normal for this series for volumes to come out so slowly? Have there been any news? Is anyone following it?

I got really interested in the story after watching the anime.

>>45236089
It was my first LN series, I read the whole thing straight and loved it

>>45274361
LITERALLY me. When I really enjoy a series I procrastinate reading it because I don't want it to end and end up ruining the feeling of reading something awesome...

for what in the absolute fuck's purpose reason

>>45296979
who knows, maybe they didn't want to bother with multiple actors
but death march, tate no yuusha, fairy tail chronicle and countless others solved this "problem" by just using a female narrator voicing everything, which is way easier to stomach than the other way round especially for a fucking harem with a million different girls lol

>>45293516
Yeah true. This time though a lot lines were dropped about ending the war and such. I could totally see the next arc being the last one. Of course, the author could stretch it out some more anyway.

>>45297039
female MC
no loli heroine
lack of bro characters

>>45297650
>female MC
What's wrong with that?

>>45297681
NTA but it almost always results in one of two things.
It will either be by the JP equivalent of an ironic weeb, someone so spineless and cucked he can't imagine his ideal waifu getting dicked by "basically me" and will spend 5+ volumes meandering with "haha a girl's body amirite?" before simply forgetting the MC is supposed to be female.
Or it will be yas queen femoid writing like sexiled.

>>45297039
I honestly can't think of any, though one of the things that makes me consider dropping a story is slavefaggotry. I can't for the life of me understand why 90% of light novel fantasy settings need to include the institution of slavery and portray it in a positive light, when it seems like such a niche kink. The only exception to this is Mushoku Tensei, but only because I really like the rest of the novel and slaveshit is a small part of it. For anyone with a distaste for slavery in light novels, check out His Soul Marches on - the John Brown Isekai on royalroad

>>45297747
I can somewhat relate. Dropped meikyuu harem early because the MC becoming a bounty hunter and killing people just to get a sex slave was a bit too much for me, him immediately having sex with her and she enjoying it was the last straw.

VRMMO

NTR

>>45298497
I'm not as strongly against them, but I often find that VRMMO plots don't manage to make you feel like there's any stake to them. It's just an inferior version of an isekai setting unless you're doing something interesting with it

>>45299148
100% agree
i liked the bofuri anime as an sol but i couldn't get myself to pick up the ln
it's also the reason why i haven't started destiny unchain online yet

I'm reading Fate/Strange Fake. Currently on volume 5. It's been pretty good. I can't wait for it to conclude in 10 years.

異世界はスマートフォンとともに。 is the best kingdom builder/power fantasy/harem/mecha/crafting/sol story out there

Got any isekai slow life recs that are actually slow life and don't involve getting wrapped up in royal conspiracies or world threatening events after the first volume?

>>45297039

>>45300400

good morning i hate cuckold explorer

>>45303650
I already forgot it existed, it feels like something isekai would make up as a joke

>>45304152
It really does feel like a glorified shitpost that the author ended up getting emotionally invested in.

>>45303650
>>45304152
It's getting an anime adaption, you know.

>>45306317
everything but dendro gets an anime adaptation so it's not exactly a measurement of quality

How good is the comedy in this? Answer with: 1. Funny 2. Relative 3. Not funny

Currently in the middle of Dendro 19 and paused just to say what the HELL is Ainz doing in Dendro?

>>45302755
I don't want to be rude or anything but it feels like the era of (fan) translations has long passed.
Over the past year or so pretty much everyone either learned japanese by now or started to do so, with the few exceptions remaining being f/a/gs that are here for the seasonal FOTM like kagejitsu for example.
The next step after this is probably just raws sharing more than TLs.

Has there ever been an isekai with an inverted premise? A fantasy/historic character reincarnated as an average guy, losing access to special powers?

>>45309932
Reincarnation specifically? I can think of a few transported, but I personally don't know if there's any that specifically use reincarnation. They're bound to exist, I just don't know any.

>>45310015
What are these transported ones?

>>45309345
aah, that's saddening.
I really enjoyed doing TLing while I did it. But I too have noticed the uptick in people learning japanese.
I suppose only korean and chinese novels have some sort of future left since those aren't really appealing languages.

>>45310525
It's only really in this thread, in other place, most don't know japanese and will never bother to learn. Even if it's more than before, I doubt it's more than 1 anon out of 10 or something in my opinion
If you want to translate something, try with either something really new (since no one would pick it up) knowing it might be licensed down the line, something which was complete a while ago, and past his peak, or a webnovel

>>45310525
>I suppose only korean and chinese novels have some sort of future left since those aren't really appealing languages.
this is what i will never understand about KR/CN shills, none of them give a fuck about actually learning the language to read it as the author intended, they just mindlessly consoom
why even bother at that point? just go play grindy vidya instead

>>45310525
>>45309345
剣よ, かく語りき

>>45313075
interesting. I'll give it a read first.

>>45313039
i'm convinced they have dedicated shills on NU based on the ratings they get.
There's no way stock plot harem edgy cultivator#3014 gets a 4.2 star average. Even if the prose in Japanese novel is bad, at least they try to make it original in their own sense.

>>45313976
Shilling that sort of slop has been part of the anti-japan agenda since at least the mid 10s.
There's a reason relatively known JP LNs in NU never get updates, because all updates get removed under the guise of "no sniping" after the first TLer got DMCA'd, while even literal who korean novels get daily updates and bots giving 5 star reviews.

>>45314348
wonder if NU is still constantly deleting entries for "known-but-not-mainstream" novels like dendro or if going that far with the psyop was too obvious

>>45309345
>seasonal FOTM like kagejitsu for example.

>>45318071

>>45318071
>Quof is probably right on the whole--that MTL has come and will keep coming for translators' lunch money--but my hope is that the torch of human translation will be carried on by a small, niche audience of enthusiasts willing to pay extra money for good prose.
People who actually care about the prose/quality would just learn the language itself lmao

>>45318217
i get up at 5.30, leave the house by 6, work like a dog all day, get home at 7, I have 3 hours to myself before I have to go to bed and do it all again the next day, most of that has to go to studying for professional exams, if i have to choose between using my miniscule true free time studying japanese or reading translations I'll read the translations.

>>45318282
nice blog bro, but people have learned the language with less than 3 hours a day

>>45318282
You can study and read Japanese at the same time...
Just one or two hour a day is probably good enough

No one needs to learn Japanese and reading translations is fine if you're enjoying it. But if you're one of the types that keeps coming to 4chan to complain about localizations then yes learning Japanese would be a better use of your time

DESU fully ChatGPT generated original fics will probably be a threat long before MTL.

>>45318409
>ChatGPT
It loves to skip sentences/paragraph and refuse to translate anything violent/sexual.

>>45318071
Given the absurdly low quality of the average translation it's not surprising chatgpt powered MTL is a legitimate threat to their positions.
He also says they were "sneakily" using MTL already yet it's anything but, translations in the last 5-8 years have been full of errors only MTL would do like calling multiple types of entities "demons" and the likes.

>>45318429
to be fair the skipping already happens with deeptl and the solution is also to copypaste line by line instead of full slabs of text
translators already cut out anything violent/sexual if they can get away with it so it would just be automatic their job even further

>>45318429
Your comment was probably also GPT generated seeing as how you completely missed what I was saying and replied with a non sequitur.

>>45318474
nta but thought the joke was calling translations fanfics as usual

>>45318485
I said original fics bro

>>45318282
There's absolutely zero irony to be found in the fact that a poster in the "novel" thread has no reading comprehension whatsoever.
The anon you responded to said
>People who actually care about the prose/quality would just learn the language itself lmao
And a few posts later you agreed to being OK with "reading fanfics" meaning you don't care about the prose/quality and therefore had no reason to get all defensive and reply to that post.
Good luck with your six figures by the way, I'd be surprised if you can make five figures after tax

>>45319019
The irony compounds on it being a honzukifag of all things to be the one to do that.

the fact that you mention gpt4all showed that you don't know about this topic at all

>>45319094
They know the quality of what the put out is so low that literal AI easily obsoletes them.
It doesn't help people on JP chans seethed about gaijins butchering novels on the translations and this is starting to actually reach kadokawa from the looks of it.

>>45319103

because there are no absolutes. i care about quality and prefer good translations over mtl but on balance will opt for reading translation even if it's not perfect over learning japanese in my current life circumstance

Haven't read much, but my favorites are: Goumon Hime and Arifureta. If continuing series then: TRPGプレイヤー, and Kage no jitsuryokusha.
Also looking for recs, let me know if there's stuff like these. Would like some more mentally ill, Yandere heroines.

>>45319552
arifureta isn't over yet, there's still the afterstory left to adapt
trust the plan

Just started Rokujouma, this is foreboding

just finished it. Was awesome. I went back and rewatched the anime for a 3rd time and skimmed books 3-5 before starting to read it. Feels like I might have amnesia or some shit because I forgot a lot (and am a bit worried I might've missed some stuff during the skim-through). Might have to do a re-read of everything when Vol 7 comes out. Have a few questions about the books:
How does Shadow get through the barrier (when he was Jack.)? Did he get vampire powers at some point? Also, who has vampire powers- just some named members or all of shadow garden? (sorry I forgot this)
Was checking the wiki and noticed deeper info about Kai and Omega's background lore-- where is that info coming from? The web novels or the mobile game or something? Is ten thousand enough for Delta and Pai's plan? Surely Shadow (me) will have more offspring, right?

listen to the audiobooks man they're great

>How does Shadow get through the barrier (when he was Jack.)? Did he get vampire powers at some point?
He already learned it off Zeta in volume 5 and even went one step further and learned to only partially use mist form during combat by the fight with Fenrir.
>Also, who has vampire powers- just some named members or all of shadow garden?
So far only Alpha and Zeta have been shown to use them but the novel also all but says Beta also can now, other than that it's hard to say.
>Was checking the wiki and noticed deeper info about Kai and Omega's background lore-- where is that info coming from?
Most likely the gacha game which greatly expands on the lore, but fair warning I wouldn't trust the wiki due to being maintained by the EOP side of the fanbase and they aren't known for their reading comprehension.

thanks for the advice. tried listening to a sample, but the voice felt a bit monotone- made me feel a bit sleepy. Is the manga good? About to start the しゃどーがいでんseries, but might pick up the main manga.
>>45320558
thanks for the responses! makes sense. You think the gacha story will be picked up in the novels (or some anime fillers) or do I have to go and play it. Felt like the gacha was a bit too greedy for my wallet.

Thought I read somewhere that there was only one "winning heroine" and the rest lose. If you tell me he bangs the heroines and builds a family I'll order it rn

>>45325092
The spinoff is fine as a rando thing, but manga adaptations haven't been good in years and sadly this one isn't an exception, it feels like an abridged parody at times.

Excuse me? Did you mean the Overlord thingy in the EnTL? That was supposed to be Demon Lord/Maou in JP, probably got the same TL fuckery issue like Rance's whole Archfiend line but is not wrong in context since it's supposed to be read more as "Absolute Ruler of (X)" than an actual "Ruler of Demons." Now, why is that you asked? Because even Dendro has its own Satan, and I'm not talking about Theresia.

Chill anon, the character assassination part was always meant for Katsuya to be specific, him being a lil shit notwithstanding, though I suppose my statement should've been more clear about it. As for whether Akira's changes are good or not, let's just agree to disagree, it's not like our views/interpretations aren't laced with prejudice anyway. I'm a purist, so I would hate to see any changes made in a media I consume if it all leads to the same conclusion, feels like a waste of time if I may say so.
>Assessment
Ah, hell naw man. I've got enough of my share of 呼び出された殺戮者, 二度目の勇者, Gang of Yuusha, and Dungeon Seeker. Besides, although series with murderhobos/Coldsteel the Edgehog already exists from the get go, it's not like they have an actual story to tell. If they did, Goblin Slayer, Overlord (the general tone, not Ainz himself), and RW won't be able to get in the KonoRano rank due to the sheer amount of contender.
I really should stop using KonoRano as an excuse, it's getting repetitive.

It got the Log Horizon treatment to be exact. Derivative works (anime/manga/spinoffs/supplementary materials) are ongoing/to be released, everyone knows the author is alive and well through whatever platform they use, but the mainline story is pretty much dead even if fans would love to see its continuation. Not the first, won't be the last, but still hurts whenever it happens. IIRC the latest arc for Faraway Paladin was about Will getting comfy with a prostitute and turning into a dragon due to being "forged" in Not!Smaug's blood/dragonfire/pummeling, been a while so I could be wrong.

Not a bet per se, but Shu's statement of there won't be anyone going Superior due to Gloria. That went horribly wrong and he's probably gonna end up in the "destroy Ayyyyyyyssss" camp alongside the edgy prison shota.

Can anyone post an updated guide on how to buy digital stuff off of amazon.jp?
I'm trying to buy some nintendo eshop cards and some LNs, but the payment just doesn't get thru, no explanation given, and my bank says they haven't even received a transaction request so they can't do jack shit...

>>45328384
At which point does it happen?
I know only two way to deal with that, try with a vpn (bought) set in Japan, and use a local Japanese adress as your delivery place, even if you won't actually ever use it

>>45328450
I did use a random JP address for delivery, no vpn tho.
I do the order, everything seems okay, and then nothing happens.
On the order page it basically just tells me to check my payment info

>>45307625
It's written by Yomi Hirasaka so it must be good (huge of of A Sisters All You Need here)

>>45328491
Could be a problem with your credit card itself then, did you ever try to buy something with it on other jp website, like fantia, dmm or anything like that? if it doesn't work on those, the problem is your card

>Dendro AE updated. Gate of Six is now online, it's time to place your bets on who will fight them. Mine's on Fatoum.
Considering the SUBM's looks plus location and timing of its appearance, I think there's no way Sechs won't be involved. His group were going to Tenchi through the south of the continent, and if this takes place after the war, it would make chronological sense for the little dice to bump into the big dice.
I think it won't go unnoticed, either, and it's how people will find out that they well and truly broke out.

>>45329085
I had never tried before no.
But I finally managed to reach someone that wasn't a retard on the phone about my credit card, and turns out all those kinds of transactions are automatically blacklisted.
Every time I need to make this kind of purchase I need to call them to whitelist them for 24H, after which they'll be blocked again...
What a fucking pain

>>45328491
You using AmEx or something? I've done VISA, MC, and Discover on Amazon, CDJapan, DLsite, etc. and have never gotten it rejected. From what I've tried only Rakuten declines Discover if I remember correctly.

I see. That would have made Saint Sechs chapter-ending line more dramatic. Damn you JNC!
