Visual Novel Translation Status (12/13/20)

Welcome to the Fuwanovel VNTS, where we shamelessly copy the work of one illustrious 4chan /jp/ member in collating translation progress and add minor dabs of value through corrections and additions. Entries with updates this week in bold. This week’s picture is from Re;Lord 2 which finally had an update this week. Yeah, there isn’t a single release. I guess that happens too.

The Zakabox

「Well, I guess there isn’t much happening this week, so uhh have some random stuff I picked up for mention…

There’s this messily-formatted and clearly ESL Kickstarter page for a VN called “A Case of RanK” that seems to be written by the Japanese side. Why is it interesting? The draft writer seems to be the writer of hakomari/The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria, a decently well received light novel from what I know. It also mentions hiring a translator at 10 yen per word, which is an interesting metric though I’m not sure how it translates to Japanese characters. Japanese word? English word? Whatever. I hope they’re not getting taken by a ride like mikandi clearly was for libra, though if we assume 5 yen per character (2 moji per word???) it’s nice to see a decent rate being paid, I guess.

What’s it like being a translator? Basically this thread.

Sharin no Kuni has an actual release date. It’s a few years too late, and I heard the translation ended up less than ideal, but whatever. Here’s to them delaying it again!

SP actually updating for several projects that seemed dead-ish like leyline 2, amatsutsumi, relord 2 etc huh.

…And some nukige were announced I guess or something.」

Writer of irreverent VNTS commentaries, shadowy Fuwanovel string puller, Swedish, ambivalent toward meatballs. Brave Fuwanovel Skype Group memeber (rip), technically a reviewer, chronic everything staller. I am all these things and more, but mostly I'm really lazy. Loves yuri, reading, chocolate, and quality sugar-free colas. Hates VNs with too many choices and long walks on the beach.

Oh gosh I remember reading some of Zenoth Maria in high school. I liked it cuz it was edgy and the first couple of volumes were pretty good but it got a little too edgy to the point of chuni and the death games were a bit uninspired.

I did think Re;Lord 2 was dead – and was very close to buying the original version.

I think taking 2.5 years for Sekai to announce the game and Esc:de to finally get started on upgrading their engine is a bit much.

Sekai said that Esc:de were busy all this time, but I suspect that something else happened

This week VNTS Review from mine, and I hope that you’ll enjoy it.

https://forums.fuwanovel.net/blogs/entry/3229-double-zombie-review/

Honestly I can’t comment much in regard of ReLord because to me it’s already a bit outdated and not to mention that there’s many more interesting VNs that didn’t need three short length VNs. Also if you need episodic short VNs, I would say that Nine is better seeing that it didn’t took much time for Sekai to release it. That said, I still look forward to the eventual release of Daybreak (Toeijikake 2) in that apparently they already almost finished with the work on the UI, although it’s not like I expect them to release it quickly anymore.

Well, Re;Lord 2 is 5 years old already, but it does have a very interesting story, especially as it’ll be interesting to see (assuming Re;Lord 3 is translated as well) how the vile protagonist comes unstuck (to put it mildly)

The last episode in Re;Lord is supposed to be very long, by the way
