Here’s Chapter 175,

Had been hoping to push out an extra chapter this week but didn’t manage to.
Had relatives over for the past 4 days, which has been great but has also reduced the time I’ve had to work on things.

Also stayed up to watch the League Worlds Quarterfinals last night. IG 3-2 KT was surprising, but man G2 3-2 RNG, that was something to watch.

Here’s Chapter 174,

Thanks for all the well wishes these past two weeks.
My thesis is finally done and is ready for submission on Monday, mixed feelings of tiredness and relief ahaha.
Actually only started translating this chapter past midnight since I had to finalise a few things on my thesis document after proofreading, but I said that you would get a chapter this week so here it is.

After not translating for two weeks, it actually feels I take longer to translate a chapter, which is one of the reasons I’ve kept a steady release rate for so long.
I have heard though that there are some people who say that I will never finish this series at the rate I’m translating so I would like to reply to a few of their points.

Yes, I probably will never finish translating this series.
Unless I dedicate 5 years or so of doing nothing but translating, I will never finish this series.
That said, if you want to read the whole series, why not learn Japanese?
You will probably learn the language faster than I can translate and would have gained a valuable life skill at the end of it all.
For the people who want to read more but don’t want to learn the language and just leech off someone else’s translations, just remember your own position before you complain.

That said, most of you all a great people, so thanks again for all your support.
Pardon my rambling as it is nearly 2am as I’m writing this.
With my heavy workload recently, I actually almost forgot my own birthday last week, which was a bit awkward XD

Here’s Chapter 173,

On time this week ahaha.
The good news is that I had my thesis presentation last week and it went pretty well.
I’m also into my uni mid semester break so a bit more time to work on stuff.

The bad news is that I went over my net quota for the month so net is currently shaped and very slow.
Hurray for Australian internet!

In other news work comes crashing down over the next month so I’m buckling down for a rough ride.
To keep myself sane while partially procrastinating, I’ve also been looking into building myself a new desktop PC.
Which I reckon is about time considering my current desktop is still running a pentium CPU.
Lastly League Worlds starts in October, which is terrible timing for me honestly with how much work I have to do ahaha.

Here’s Chapter 172,

A bit later than usual, sorry about that.
I’ve had several late nights in a row and woke up after the usual release time this morning.
If there are any errors, drop a comment and I’ll fix them up.

Hopefully my schedule will get better after my presentation next Tuesday.
But after looking at the assignments I have due after that, maybe not ahaha.

Here’s Chapter 171,

I’m typing this up literally minutes before this posts because I’m ended up working late last night and waking up late this morning ahaha.

Stayed up late to watch the LCK League finals before starting to translate this chapter

After this chapter, you all will probably have a good idea what Rei will be hunting in specific.

Here’s Chapter 170,

I did mention what the Gamelion was a few chapters back but for those who missed it,

“Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit!
That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!
He’s got huge, sharp– eh– he can leap about– look at the bones!”

Here’s Chapter 169,

Rolling on with the weekly chapters.
We get a new character for this arcs hunting quest.

To be honest my thesis had hit some rough patches over the past few months but things are finally smoothing out.
Working on some image processing stuff right now……I just need to make my algorithm stop making triangles disappear.

And here is Chapter 168,

It’s the start of a new arc, but a few things have to be wrapped up first.

Not sure how many of you will read this since you might end up going straight to this chapter from the previous one, but university work is starting to get pretty heavy for me.

My Master’s thesis results presentation is in just about a month, so if it comes down to having limited time, I’ll have to prioritise that over translating.

But for now, enjoy the new arc.

Here’s Chapter 167,

This chapter was tled by Frozen, so send him your thanks.
Because of that, you also get two chapters today, second one will drop a bit later.

And with that so ends the Azoth Firm arc, it’s been a while but thanks to everyone who stuck through it.
The next arc is a short 13 chapter one called Gamelion, pronounced Gam-me-leon.
It’s hunting season, rabbit season to be exact.

Here’s Chapter 166,

It’s been a hectic week for me.
University workload increased a hefty bit and I’ve had to sit down and work through a lot of things.

Monster Hunter World for PC also launched last week.
I have now experienced rolling around everywhere, getting lost in the main headquarters area, getting carted in front of friends, getting lost in the mission map and missing out on drops because I couldn’t make it back to the Aganath to loot it before it despawned and getting lost because apparently the lance’s charge keeps going during cutscenes and you can’t control the direction.
