@n33k5 said in Shogakukan's Novelous to use AI translations:

they are seeming to also plan to change names to more westernized forms because "Japanese names are hard."

The MC is named Steve Jones, Yen to dollars, ramen to cheeseburgers. Back to the dark ages of over-localized translations :(

Some stories might survive this but part of why I read LNs is the different culture. It's the same reason why I watch "foreign" movies and TV shows.

Plus, AI LLMs have only short-term "memory" for their token set with no knowledge of anything outside of that small window into the story. No memory of past chapters, characters, or the overall plot to bring to the translation just predicting what an equivalent sentence would be in English.

@rmkelly said in About the Case of Destruction Flags Being Demolished After a Nichiasa Loving Otaku Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Student (Manga):

Follow the adventures of Yuugo a okusatsu otaku on his journey to become a true hero while breaking the flags of his destruction along the way.

Tokusatsu?

Gotta start binge-reading this one asap once it's out.

Ends in volume 6

@piisfun said in Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San?:

Having read a bit of the WN Fan translation, this story made me ask: *What if shojou protagonists actually created clouds of powdered sugar when they reached critical levels of romantic cuteness?

Seriously, though, I think this story consists of 30 times the recommended daily serving of sugar per chapter and nothing else.

Ngl, I'd be fine with this.

she looks a lot like Altair from Re:creators, lol

I honestly thought this series had already been licensed
...I wonder what I confused it with

There's apparently an anime adaptation airing this season. It's a shame the manga hasn't been licensed.

I love meta-humor and romcoms so I'm in, you have my support.

To be fair, those two are relatively unknown series whereas Expelled From Paradise, IIRC, had a bit of advertising when it was released a few years ago, has mecha and more importantly, fanservice.

@Micha Bumping to show support is fine (encouraged, in fact), as long as you don't spam the thread.

@Char663 22 if you include the short stories volume 4.5 (which in turn was comprised of a selection of the stories in the 3 Ex volumes which were released with the anime)

It's also finished. But then it has finished three times now so that doesn't mean anything.

Just hoping i live long enough to see this series get licensed and read in English format 🙏

I thought the show was ok, I didn't like what they did with the character Ana, I hope the books are better and would the opportunity to read them.
