Hi there guys, Reigokai here!
So, what you have been waiting…hopefully. The announcement of the new project! —But first! I would like to get some points cleared out before that.
Let me be honest here, I read A LOT of stories before deciding. I read the suggestions and swam on my own at syosetsu.
Let me talk about the latter first. The amount of trash was beyond belief. I am sorry about saying this of others’ creations, but that’s how I felt while I was wasting away reading them all. I felt like this was a futile expedition, and at the same time, felt renewed respect towards the translators that find gems. And I once again understood just how lucky I was when I blind-picked Tsuki ga Michibiku.
Now, I might have missed some gems there, since if I were given only 10 chapters of Tsuki and had to decide if to translate it, let me be honest, I wouldn’t have. So some of them might have become a lot deeper than I expected.
Now, onto the first one, and most likely, the one you cared about the most. Your suggestions.
There were an incredible amount of suggestions, and of that, I am truly grateful. I checked them out and bookmarked some even. But these are the points that made most of them hard to pick:
1. Only source is light novel. I want to steer clear from that area, mainly because of legal issues.
2. The web novel raw had at least 1 year of hiatus. Ironic, I know.
3. Some were already being translated? Uhmm…thanks for adding to my bookmarks.
4. Alphapolis changing their policies. Apparently, alphapolis has now implemented the ‘pay to read’. First few chapters are free, but the next ones, you have to pay. Also, you can’t copy+paste there anymore (and I don’t know how to get around that).
5. And the most important, personal preference 🙂
Now, with all that out of the way, I will announce the new project! *drum roll*
World Reformation activities of the Dark God — Loving humans so much, I reincarnated in one —
Synopsis:
At the genesis of the world, the ‘Dark God Entropy’ was defeated in the fight between the five other Gods, and was sealed.
And then, after 1,600 years, the seal of the God of Darkness was released and he is liberated. The God that was now free didn’t really have any special intent for revenge and didn’t have anything to do, so he decided to reincarnate as a human and enjoy the life of a human being.
The human that had obtained the soul of the Dark God and was born was ‘Kuromiya Haine’, a human that -while being human- possesses the powers and memories of the God of Darkness. The strongest existence.
While saving the heroes that fight monsters, and fighting against the other Gods that are trying to rule the humans, he acts in order to make the world a better place.
Yes, this is the new project! I have read 110 chapters of it, and I gotta say, the story has a lot of action, and the interactions between characters is one of my favorite parts of it.
Some may ask, ‘But Reigokai! He is not a Japanese person, and there’s no summoning or that kind of stuff! Aren’t you an Isekai translator? And what about Truck-sama?!’.
Yeah, there’s no Japanese person, and no summoning, but what I am looking for is not a transported MC to an Isekai, it is to transport you to an Isekai.
And whenever we read an Isekai story, Truck-sama runs over us and sends us to an Isekai. He is always by your side, waiting.
Also, special thanks to Raizu for recommending this and many other titles!
A close second was Sayonara Ryuusei Konnichiwa Jinsei.
But this fell in the points 4 and 5. Maybe in the future, when the point 4 is solved! (No, time machine is just a temporary one, and not one that actually solves it)
Estimated time of post will be starting next week.
I hope you guys stick along in this new journey to a new Isekai.

Hey Reigokai long time lurker here, just wanted to say thanks for all the chapters. Also I am really looking forward to this new web novel!
Is that mean from the start he is a good god and other 5 is wicked god?
If Satan says he's good, them definitely evil.
Ok might worth try reading since I'm not much into already God mc .
Also look forward for new chapter of Double Edge Hero since Tsuki ga is on the cliff might as well have something to look forward to.
Also at last finally could comment with wordpress account that using my fb user all the time commenting in some chapter
And finally get some update quick......
Despite being otherworlder I keeping jumping or get lost from one to another despite not getting hit by a truck and seeing some wild nepu as well (Kamusta fellow Filipino) .....
Haha awesome to see fellow filipinos here. Kamusta!
Looking forward to it
Typical cliche story TBH, for isekai genre there's no twist at all... and now it depend on the character, i just hope MC isn't trying to hiding his power or dense motherfucker..I mean, if you make your MC OP, why would you bother hide it? Take example of Makoto, Rudeus Greyrat or Ainz..
in mahouka koukou no rettousei, there was a serious and definitely legit reason for Tatsuya (the aforementioned ln's mc) to hide his power. more than one in fact. 1: he was a literal military secret himself. 2: he held power that could NOT be replicated to begin with. 3: he was still a student even though he was so op of a person, to name a few of those reasons.
Not to mention that his family also forbid him of going around been OP if its not for his sister sake.
oh and people still attempted to replicate his ability, even though it couldn't be done via magic, like his power was doing. he literally made a nuclear bomb blast with no fallout. The USA equivalent of mahouka koukou no rettousei's world tried, thinking it was a black hole type phenomena, and technically blew a hole in reality creating bodyless souls, it seems, which those took control of some of their magicians who were apparently high ranking. This is why you don't fuck with things you don't understand to put it simply lol.
wait, I just realized that I'm not sure about what you meant in your comment anymore. Do you mean that an OP mc should be like Ainz in the choice of power usage, or do you mean that Ainz is an example of an MC that hides his power?
Same question for Makoto(since he technically still hold back when fighting and still hide his magic power to the point where people who look at him think he he weak, I'm not sure about which you mean).
As for Rudeus, I just looked the name up, and I haven't read Mushoku Tensei yet, so I don't know.
I agree with Psychronia.
Also, about Ainz. He doesn't actually "hide" his power. When he does so, it's for a specific objective that makes sense(either infiltration or to give a false sense of security to a strong opponent(aka Shalltear). As for other situations, he's either challenging himself by giving himself restrictions in what he can use(ex: to get better with swords and close combat), or he does so in order to regulate himself. For example, while he wants to show his overwhelming power, he still wants to unite the world/nations around him. This is why he hid the fact that he could use "Ia Shub-Niggurath" repeatedly without consequence(though with intervals between uses) and quite easily. He doesn't want to rule only fear, and he doesn't want the nations to make a desperate stand to the death against him, so he just showed overwhelming power, with (fake) limitations that don't make him any weaker, but instead make it so that they don't think he can genocide entire countries in mere moments.
My last point would be how when he fights, he doesn't use his strongest spells because he instead use the minimum power needed to still absolutely win.
In short, it's not that he holds back or hide his power, but more so that he doesn't go "too" overkill. He only uses the right amount needed for his objectives. (and it lets him keep his numbers of "spell uses per day" for his best spells in case he ends up needing them)
...Huh. I never realized what an apt analogy Paper Mario:Sticker Star was for an OP character limiting themselves to only exerting the appropriate amount of force.
You're always using overly abundant items that are way too strong for ordinary encounters, causing you to perpetually feel like you're wasting power overkilling things and it's boring and awful.
Well from a writing perspective, having a single OP character do nothing but be strong would be boring.
From a personal perspective, being strong means you get roped into all sorts of trouble, so you'd want to avoid showing off unless you intend to take responsibility(or rather, have it thrust upon you) for some large world-affecting faction/event/etc.
Thanks 4 the new project.
"And whenever we read an Isekai story, Truck-sama runs over us and sends us to an Isekai. He is always by your side, waiting."
Oh my teats! I' m ALREADY DEAD! *Exploding fountain of blood*
A reincarnated dark god saving some heroes' asses? Sounds good! I'm hyped~
I hope this god is not like Makoto... I read all of your translated chapters because of Tomoe, Mio, and the other characters like Shiki and their interaction amongst themselves. Makoto is... not my favorite kind of character, honestly.
But the MC being a dark god gets my hopes up. More so if you say the interactions amongst characters' good! Hopefully, I'll be on a hell of a long ride again. Thanks Reigokai (〜￣▽￣)〜
Eh, Sayonara Ryussei was good? I remember going like 2-3 chapters in and I just couldn't take the horrible writing anymore...
Eh, are you sure you are talking the same novel?
Hmm...
Might be personal preference difference I guess....
Raizu'spoilers are coming jejeje and we love it.
That's Spoiler-san task, not me. :x
