Recruitment

To prevent the reocurrence of the prior fiasco of releases going on hiatus because the sole translator was killed by a never-ending workload and the changing tides of what is otherwise known as "life", this lowly revenant is now humbly seeking comrades in arms for translation and proofreading.

Previously that there had been some wonderful souls who had so graciously offered to help with proofreading, and another person has offered to become a translator in the blog chat as well. To them and anyone interested in contributing--Any help would be greatly appreciated! More people helping would make the translation much, much, much faster--and would also lower the possibility of another tragic incident of "Translator's Brain Explodes From Overwork" of repeating. Plus, translation gets pretty fun as well, and I have to say my Chinese (as well as my English) has improved many times over from the practice. 

TRANSLATORS

I'm willing to help train or provide suggestions on translation, but I'd like to make sure that there is at least a sufficient basic ability to start with. I will provide a sample text to translate for those interested in becoming a translator. No worries, it'll just be a short part, promise! ;) 

PROOFREADERS

Basic proficiency in English and English grammar is the only prerequisite for becoming a proofreader. To test this, I'll have a sample of a short passage to proofread for those interested in becoming a proofreader. You won't only be looking for errors though; if you see anything that can be rewritten in a better way you are free to make changes as well.

Unfortunately my old email (asmodeamarele@hotmail.com) seemed to have been overflooded with spam and inactivated for some reason or another....I really do not know why or how, but somehow my account seems to have been hacked. My new email address is dicho.asmodea@live.com, so please feel free to contact me if you're interested. 

P.S. Also, look forward to a surprise to mark the new years. :)

Happy holidays everyone~!

Return from hiatus

And from the dead, I have returned.

Sorry guys for the long hiatus. Let's just say that this year has just been way too hectic and leave it at that.

I didn't mean to leave this hanging for so long, but I've finally have some time to come back to this for now. Finally some time to get back to my favorite Charles and Dar! :)

Unfortunately, I'm still probably going to be very, extremely busy in the future, so this may be a bit difficult, but I'll try to keep releases relatively steady. No promises though! I'm doing this only on the side, so when life takes over unfortunately this will go on hiatus for however long that takes. On another note, the good news is that I now have all seven volumes of the novel that have come out so far, so I can (eventually/hopefully) translate them in the future. It gets a lot better, so I'll try to keep my patience with finishing up the first volume, I promise! 

Will be posting up another part of chapter 5 up shortly, but in the future I may have to break the chapters down into fourths or even fifths so that they're in manageable chunks. I posted a lot of chapters before in pretty big chunks, but it really takes too much time to do that much all at once....so to make releases faster I will be breaking it down into smaller pieces.

Happy holidays everyone!

Deadlines...

Me and deadlines don't go well with each other...


Sorry guys (again)! I really fail at keeping to deadlines, and I just started a new job so... :'D

I'll make no promises on a steady release schedule from now on, but I'll definitely do my best to keep to one update a week. The next updates will be this week for sure!

~Asmodea

Wah~! Apologies for the lateness. :'D

Aiyah! Sorry guys, this time's update was a few days late..... (A few days? More like four days late...) 


Anyhow, I've posted up this time's No Hero chapter 1-4 part 1 up, and I'll try to get part 2 up later tonight. I'll have to see though!


As for Eclipse Hunter, I'm applying to be a translator now, so for now I'll not be posting any EH chapters until I hear back from them.


Oh, and if Odd Squad really is going to pick up Eclipse Hunter again, I very well might pick up another series (since my workload would lessen considerably.......). So keep polling! I may put up the summary for another of Yu Wo's series, Gong Hua (公華) for polling as well. I have a feeling the release pace for EH will be slower, but then there won't be double work being done.  But this is all still just tentative, so feel free to leave your opinions! :>

Summaries of GOD and No Kill

A bit late, but as promised here are the summaries for [GOD] and [No Kill]:


:)

_________________________________________

[GOD] - Summary

What should a book's male main character be like?

Handsome and stylish?
Wrong! He looks cute and loves to act innocent!

Kind-hearted?
Wrong again! His attacks sting and he loves to gorge out people's hearts.

He doesn't use XXX holy sword (randomly insert holy sword name in XXX), and instead uses a bloody snake whip to SM people.

Battle fanatic?
I'm sorry, but would love to "eat" work?

Particularly enjoy saving princesses?
This is completely true--after saving them he'd make them his pets!

OH～MY GOD！
This, this is what kind of male main character?

This type of person as the main character~~A mess, this story is a mess from the beginning!
_________________________________________

[No Kill] - Summary

An assassin who has sworn not to kill--Legolas--has fallen into another world while being pursued. In this messy, undisciplined world, can Legolas continue following his oath?


The world's laziest person--Kyse--fortunately or unfortunately picked up an assassin who doesn't kill. What crazy script will a lazy person and a former assassin bring out? The world's last hero? A righteous fighter against evil Golden Mask? What kind of weird thing is this? Wasn't our main character the icy and handsome not killing assassin Legolas? Oh, oh, oh, heavens. Don't tell me that such a stereotypical righteous Golden Mask is.......In conclusion, this is a story of a jaded assassin + a lazy person who would not lift a finger so long as he could help it. The story is just on the first page.

Surprise! Eclipse Hunter (玄日狩) translations~

Hey all!

So, to those EH fans out there (which is most of you, I'd reckon) I'll be picking up Eclipse Hunter from where Odd Squad left off, which was at volume 2, chapter 4. 

Eclipse Hunter is the series about Daren's story that comes before No Hero. The chapters before this are on the Odd Squad's website.

The chapters were a bit longer than I had thought, so I'll have to split them into parts this time.

Enjoy! :)
