It's been a while!

A really long while. Yeah.

So, what to start with... I guess the overall situation? Basically I've been REALLY busy with work for entire months and had no time to translate at all, it's gotten better now - much better, but I still haven't been able to pick up my interest in translating stuff. Is it age getting to me, is it burnout, or is it other stuff that steals my attention (games)? Who knows.

Of course I don't intend to quit translating, I plan to continue translating novels until at least OSO is complete (including future releases), also AMA short stories - I didn't forget about that, folks.

In any case, translations are continuing. Knowing myself, sooner or later I'll get mysterious motivation and catch up in no time, especially that I've upped language skills by a lot in the meantime. Also, I've been thinking of doing something different to motivate myself, but it's still at concept stage.

Oh yes, what you're here for is a chapter, and a chapter you'll get. Here you can move onto cuddly Yun adventures chapter 2.

    I was reading the Manga adaptation of OSO... then got impatient and looked for the novel. A week and many, many hours of reading later, I'm caught up. Thank you for translating and I can't wait for more. :D

    I have a question for everyone here, including you Master. If you have been watching Boku no Hero Academia, then many of you will understand that Uraraka is titled by many as "best girl". However, we of this site know that the best girl to previously be Haunted. And so now I ask all of you, are you believers in despair, or does cuteness actually win?

    Now, I understand that you might be busy with things in your personal life. but, if you are still alive, would it be too much trouble for you to take like 3 minutes and give us a few words to let us know you are still here?

      Yes that would be nice, with such a long pause I'm more concerned by your well being than by the progress of the various translation, and I'm probably not the only one.

        Well, basically: busy with work now. Although, I have restarted working on translations (did some Monster Girl Quest: Paradox part 2 translations), so as long as I have time I'll deliver on OSO as well.

      ur waisting ur time, killed translating when the volume is released will translated to lets skip that and go daybreak instead...would give up and look for other translators althought kyr is busy, daybreak and false promises with oso will continue so go that route since daybreak is more important but less wanted

        You do know that Day break isn't a translation the release of OSO has no correlation at all

    thanks for the hard-work especially how busy and that "burn-out" feeling yet keep continue to translating especially for AntiMagic :)

    1. Hakurei06

      Antimagic is done. All that's left are a few Side Stories.
      And well, his policy is that main volumes (like those of OSO) take precedence over SSes.

      I've been playing visual novels. A lot of them. I think I finished about a hundred while working, either in background or - more recently, watching on separate monitor on the side.

    It's not a dream! I'm not dreaming! OSO is really released!
    I though my eyes tricked me and my vision became blur for the moment.
    The tear I believe long dried from the 7-days and 7-nights after you went missing is coming but this time due to joy.
    I'm so glad to see you return.

      I've grown out of one-hand playing, but you have a point about motivation. Now, how do I stop playing games...

            NTR isn't really speciality (I avoid NTR, in fact) as I prefer comedies, but you could go for Blue series. I happened to try a little of Dearest Blue. That is probably what you're looking for.

            *I'm not sure if it's translated, I play everything in Japanese.

        If it doesn't interfere with what you need to do why should you stop playing games? Right?

    Yun is love~ Yun is life~

    On the subject of interest, I've found my interest in everything has faded as I've got older.
    I lost the childish sense of curiosity and wonder and never managed to replace it with the adult version.

    Good to hear you're still alive!

    I've rather have you take months to adjust your life (catching up with work and gaming to have fun) while still giving us the quality to the translation of this series that i've love to read, than just pump out translated work that can barely be called a translation.

    I'm truly happy that you posted a new chapter of OSO. Thanks again, and have fun with new games everyday! /o/
