Here’s Chapter 270,
It’s rough third wheeling as Ara.
On a related note, some people have been asking about the translation of Ara’s name, so I thought I’d ask, Ara or Arla? https://www.strawpoll.me/20662865
Unrelated to this chapter, I’ve seen a few comments recently regarding how long it will take me to catch up to the raws which I thought I’d address in a longer post.
tldr; I will never catch up to the raws and, short of Legend getting an official translation, even if I gave it to a group to do, they probably wouldn’t catch up to the raws in 5 years.
Doing some basic math, if I translated 30 chapters a week, it would take two years to catch up to the raws if the story doesn’t end before then. That is an insane amount of translation to do per week, close to 8,500 translated words per day.
Because of that, some people have suggested to get more people to help out. In all honesty, I’ve talked about this to other translators as well, and the general consensus is that having more people doesn’t necessarily speed up translations due to the additional coordination, editing and communication required.
If you would like me to translate more chapters per week, it might be something I can work out. But if you are thinking of catching up with the raws, the honest truth is that that will never happen.
This isn’t meant to be a rant, if anyone took this as such, but more of an FYI since I know some people might not want to read a series if they know the translations will probably never be completed.
