  I'm not really sure what happens to the tl for this novel but I feel like it would be ashame to see this story just die out like that.

• All these people out here throwing out suggestions but you know what the real story we'd like to hear is?
  How regiokai can constantly churn out such an abundant amount of decent translations ever 3/4 days! Please tell us how you do it! I'd love to hear how you go about your translation process too, if you're okay with sharing your "trade secrets."

  • Well, it is a pretty simple story.

    I liked anime and noticed that I absorbed japanese pretty well, so I challenged myself in learning it. Then, I dug deeper into it, transitioning to mangas, light novels, and lastly, web novels. That's where I saw room for myself and said 'hey, I want to try practicing my japanese and english here'. And so, I went blind.
    I didn't read tsuki beforehand or anything, I went blindfolded on my first endeavour as a translator.
    I just wanted to try my hand at being in the translator side together with those people I respect.

    There, I bonded with the readers and felt true joy from simply sharing a story with others as I read their comments as the story went on.

    So, how I manage to translate at my pace? Enjoy it.

    I may come out of the job tired, but I sit in front of the computer and translate, and I have fun doing it.
    As I have said before, I began translation as a whim. What truly maintained me into translation for these 3 or so years has been the support from the readers and the joy I have found in it.
    That’s why, I am thankful for it.

    Also, a trade secret? Hmm, none.

    The speed comes naturally with the time. The first time I began translating, I pushed myself real hard to translate unbelievable amounts of chapters and it eventually burned me out for a bit.
    But now, whenever I watch anime or read a novel, my brain has gotten so used to translating japanese, it just automatically does it. So that’s part of it.

    In summary, it is fun :D

    • so... you push yourself to the extreme..... did you get bald ? :3

    • You decided to start something as an interest, pushed yourself to the extreme, and then got so into it that you eventually started treating the harsh workload as just a hobby.

      Well...that would certainly explain your extraordinary luck for grabbing a decent long-running story like TsukiMichi on your first try.

    • Thanks for the response!

      I was expecting a more technical explanation but it's good to see the amount of passion behind each and every one of your releases. As cliche as it is, passion and drive really are just about the biggest factors for these kind of things and the sheer quantity of your translations is testament to that fact. I don't think I can recall any others that even comes close.
      Keep up the good work, we all appreciate what you do!

      Also, face reveal when??! 😀

  • Ah, I'd like to hear that too. Reigokai is one of the fast and consistent translator I've read.

• ...anybody else start thinking about the Hero Freeter from Hero BBS, when Reigo described this new MC?

  • Here here!

    Man. I miss Hero BBS. There's so much fun you could have with that sort of setting. Heck, it might as well be it's own narrative universe that random people on a real message board could collaborate on.

    A Hero, an Isekai, and...that's about it. Even demon lords are optional. There is so much more to mess around with using those materials.

  • Isn't the second the infamous novel where the protagonist gets skills by sucking milk breast? From the link seems that someone continues to translate it.
