Chivalry of a Failed Knight is finally here!
-
First of all, I'd like to profusely thank everyone involved with rescuing the license to my favourite series. For a good while there, I thought we'd never see it happen.
I understand that a big concern was having a brand new translation since the old version from Sol Press is in limbo. Although it's difficult to avoid comparing the two versions, I'm not going to mark down the JNC version for phrasing things differently.
That said, overall I do think this version doesn't flow quite as nicely. I don't know if extra care had to be taken to avoid similarities to the old version and so we've got something slightly more awkward, or if this is just the standard we have to expect. Some specific awkward lines that jumped out at me were Kurono referring to Ikki as "Worst One the failed knight", which is a rather contrived way to have both the kanji meaning and the furigana for Ikki's epithet, and her calling Ikki "cringe" just a little later on (ugh...)
Overall though, it's perfectly readable and still enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to future releases, especially once we get beyond where Sol Press stranded us.

@Windsagio Sorry, I'm not too familiar with these forums so I didn't realize I could post in a place labeled "members only" without a subscription ^.^;
