          v1p1:

          • 9% - “Large Halogen Collider” - Is this intentional? I was wondering if it was an autocorrect screwup of “Large Hadron Collider” or if it’s a similar-but-not-the-same name. :)

                  • [Generic] Based on the part's content the numers at the start should be 1~72 rather than 10~720? Translator already mentioned it.
                  • [Generic] The Super Recovery orb is missing 2 times the drop value at the start: 1 / 1,000,000,000 part. Already reported.
                  • [Generic] The Storage orb is missing 2 times a 0 at the end of the drop value 1 / 7,000,000,000 part. Already reported.
                  • [27%] the polyethylene tank Miyoshi had been using ► Missing period.
                  • [30%] The “nium” had already turned into “beam”, but ► Move the comma inside the quote.
                  • [71%] Even if there is a ’magic number’, will the skill ► The starting single quote is a closing one. Also, move the comma inside the quote.

                    This might be due to me being on mobile right now, but is probably still worth looking into.
                    The numbers miyoshi presents make no sense in their current format

                    10.020
                    20.010
                    Etc.
                    lets break it down. The 1 in 10.020 denotes that it is the first slime killed, and the 0.020 is the amount of sp gained from it. If there were a hyphen or colon in between that would make it much more clear(i think being on mobile removed whatever space was supposed to be there)

                            If you’re going to keep the accent on the “e” in café, put one on the “e” in olé, too, otherwise it’s likely to be mispronounced! :)

                            I just got there, and noticed the still-missing zero. Isn’t cut’n’paste wonderful? It lets the errors remain. :)

                              @ingraman Agreed. I took great care to type it exactly as it appeared in the text at the time I read it. Also, I'd've preferred the French spelling, au lait.

                                It’s much funnier as “olé” than “au lait”.

                                Maybe it’s the name of a café in the Pyrenees? :p

                                      Hi everyone, translator here. I just finished correcting the typos and single quotation marks. As for keeping commas inside non-dialogue quotations, I'll consult the style guide and ask the editor soon. Personally, I always kept them outside in my writing, but I could be mistaken.

                                      I've also fixed the missing "1 /" on Super Recovery and the missing "0" on Storage. This book has a lot of numbers in the millions and billions, and I am double and triple checking all of them, especially those written in kanji. Interestingly, Japanese counts larger numbers by the ten thousands and one hundred millions. I'm absolutely paranoid about causing a number related misunderstanding or plot hole, but like anyone else, I make mistakes. So thanks for pointing these out.

                                      "Large Halogen Collider" was written in the original novel. As I'm sure you're all aware, light novel authors tend to censor or rename a lot of things in the real world. This author goes back and forth between obfuscating some things and leaving others intact. I know this might cause some confusion, but that's just how the book is written.

                                      Lastly, I've fixed "Sumitomo" and "au lait".

                                        That was my guess in this instance, rather than autocorrect, but I wasn’t completely sure.
