Cooking with Wild Game [Licensed by J-Novel Club]

It's very unlikely that they will hire Sky for this since if they do hire Sky and they get caught up to the latest volume the translation for the series will still not continue even if JNC already received the Japanese manuscript since Sky can't translate from Japanese and he needs it to be translated to Chinese first which will take more time and JNC can't hire someone to translate it to Chinese since that's a waste of money.Lastly, another reason why it is unlikely is because recently Sky is making money out of his translation by giving the readers an option of paying to view the unedited translations at his Patreon. Even if he uploads the translations on his site so everybody can read it for free he is still making money out of it. If it's just simple donations from the readers there won't be any problem but giving the incentive of being the first to read is just tempting the readers to just pay him outright rather waiting for it to be uploaded on his site.
PS: I have nothing against skythewood and am very grateful for his contribution in the community but I rather wait for his translation to be uploaded than pay. Even now I read his translations on his site and I am a fan of his works.
PPS: IIRC Sky started the Patreon when he started translating Cooking with Wild Game.

The Japanese manga version is new, right?

I'd reccomend I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags…
Bakarina is such a great female lead, to the point I'm actually liking a reverse harem even though I usually abhor that setting.

@swhp man aren't you satisfied with the current Translator's speed and the quality,you would make everyone wait till j-novel club completes volume 8 mist probably taking 1 volume as 2.5 months to complete so 2.5x8=20 months and the we can read the next volume,😡 if J-novel club license it,think about the wait the readers have to go for reading it and the current Translator will be going on hiatus cuz of you if you can check his website
-
@manisha-dhiman Not everyone reads the fan TLs, I myself sure don’t, and I want nothing more then to read a good food related LN.
So you will have to excuse me cause i want JNC to license this series so I can read it.
-
@manisha-dhiman Perhaps he wants it licensed so that he can legally and financially support the author and also own official copies of the book.
-
@manisha-dhiman I am fan of this series on current site but on the other hand - if J-novel license this, maybe translator will come back to translation of Altina, what is my next favorite serie. (Yeah, I know, this is quite heretical idea :) )

@manisha-dhiman
I would rather love it if JNC can license this since it will only take 8 weeks plus 1 week break for every volume so around 2.25 x 8 = 18 months to translate up to volume 8 while if Yen Press gets it its a 1 book per 4 months and will take 4 x 8 = 32 months to translate up to volume 8.So, yeah I would definitely love it if JNC is the one that licenses this series and I'm sure you would come to love it as well since I know fully well you would be pissed off even more if Yen Press is the one who licenses it when your already pissed off at the prospect of an 18 months translation from JNC.
JNC LN Ranking:
1st - Rokujouma
2nd - Realist Hero
3rd - Bookworm -
@manisha-dhiman Well, @BartzBB already explained well why I hope J-Novel take this series, mainly because they're fast and have good quality in their translation.
I do read the fan TL and that is why I recommend this series to being officially picked up.I do respect the Sky team even I made an epub until their latest release, volume 7, from their translations material. My reason is simply to support the author and hope the book came with better quality and isn't Sky will continue Alderamin translation? Isn't that also a good news?
I also remember that many fan TL that their series licensed by J-Novel can only remove the volume that already out by J-Novel, you could see this example for How to not Summon Demon Lord, the translator keep translating until volume 9 if I'm not wrong and only take down volume 1 until the latest release by J-Novel.

The thing is though, Sky charges people via Patron for early releases, whereas Demon Lord's translator only takes donations.

This one always keeps you wondering what the protagonist is going to come up with next. I really like this one and hope it gets considered for an english translation.
