v9 p1

~17% Not a correction per se, more of a suggestion:

No cameras would be present, and all who had contributed were invited, regardless of status. This was especially relevant to those who were very behind the scenes. I was sure there were many people involved who I had just never met.

I'd suggest you use the more traditionally grammatically correct whom here. Nia speaks in quite a formal, educated voice when wearing her "noble" mask, as she seems to be doing here. Also "Whom" is used later in the chapter:

These were all things I’d felt in the process of my journey. I was certain that I had reached the top. I couldn’t remember with whom I had fought or what manner of fight we’d had.

Volume 1 - Part 3

[53%] “There’s no mistaking it. That’s the Lightning Spear Demon Kamikiri.
→ “There’s no mistaking it. That’s the Lightning Spear Demon Kamikiri.” [Missing ”] [54%] That’s why the enemy’s lighting magic is even more effective.
→ That’s why the enemy’s lightning magic is even more effective. [76%] I was probably still within the bomb blast’s range.
[Sounds odd to me. Maybe grenade’s blast range.]

26% - empress’ ire -> I’d probably put the “s” there (empress’s), since empress is singular, but I’m not sure it’s required.

"...what if she though her death might bring Reina [around] eventually, leading her to accept the maid's final gift?"
Not sure, but I think there might be a word missing here.

It must be sacred ground—a true sanctuary—although no dragon appeared as they did in the city of water and the imperial capital.”

The only dragons (recently) in the Imperial Capital were the 3 skeletal dragons summoned during the attack on the Alverns, because this mentions the water dragon in the city of water being seen, is it maybe about the flower dragon in the republic's capital? the imperial capital->the city of craft (or the republic's capital)

~31%

“The flower dragon alighted in the city of water.

I think the dragon in the city of water is the water dragon (volume 12 epilogue)?; The flower dragon->The water dragon (unless it is talking about the Republic's capital city of water->city of craft)

V19P7

“I have always told you...that she died of an illness. But I had my doubts from the first, and I never stopped investigating in secret.

Sorry if I am wrong, I tried searching but could not see this as a phrase, so maybe wrong word?; first->start

@Charlie85 heads up...

Additionally, when mentioning any errors found in a published book, please send them to support@j-novel.club. -Welcome to the Corrections Sub-Forum!

I noticed there's a whole lot of italicizing of Ai's thoughts, especially at the start of chapter 1. I don't do a lot of (any) writing, but if the book is already first person, do Ai's thoughts really need to be italicized? Everything at the start of the chapter is already her thoughts if she's the one narrating the story.
Later it goes to third person, but the first person section at the beginning I don't think should have any italics for thoughts, right?

@Geezer-Weasalopes
In Japanese I don't believe there is a difference between the two. They would both be spelled the same using the same characters. It's only an English distinction, and basically only the United Kingdom uses Earl.
This seems more like a translation error. It was translated as Earl a single time and every other time it was translated as count.

Gack.
Idiot me, I didn't look at the story text you quoted.
Yes, TL error, given the context.

Excuse me while I go slam my head against a wall repeatedly.

V6P2, 53%: “He’ds probably been worried“ - He’d
82%: “bigger than the redboars” - redbears.

@Devon unsure if this is a correction or just an error from the author but in p2 the # after the / in "wooden sword mastery" jumped from 1000 to 1500 on the second appearance. Nothing big, but was noticed.

V1 P1 61% "fifth [frincess]" -> princess

V5 P1 (48% - 14th line down from top of page -beginning line of 3rd paragraph.
