One-shots, future translation plans and How to use European style names in otherworld fantasy (One-shot)

So, this needs a bit of backstory.
I started translating Legend a bit over 3 years ago, which at the time I didn’t realise how big an undertaking I was getting into.
And at some point, the realisation hit me that realistically, I’m never going to finish translating it.

I didn’t want to be a translator that never finished anything, so about 2 years ago in 2017, I started working on a short webnovel series……that I still haven’t finished after 2 years despite it being the same length as 20 Legend chapters or so.

Hitting upon the realisation that I still procrastinated too much to get a short series translated, I decided to do a one-shot instead.
One which is about 2 Legend chapters long.
Which still took me 3 months to finish translating.

Either way, I would like to present a translation……of an essay……posted on Syosetu.

An extra menu tab for one-shots has been added next to Legend and random one-shots will be posted here sporadically.

In terms of future translation plans for now, I have told myself I will finish that short series I’ve been working on before the new year, so look forward to that.

There’s also another one-shot that Aurum from zirusmusings has been asking me to translate, so maybe you might see another one-shot about how to cook stir fried tomato and eggs in the near future.

In case, it isn’t obvious by now, all the one-shots I will translate are going to be the most random things I find on Syosetu that look interesting.

And for anyone wondering about Legend, same as usual for the near future.

Chapter Delay

Hey everyone,

Chapter delay this week again.
There’s still a few paragraphs I’ve got left to translate on the chapter and I slept past my alarm this morning to finish that up.
Chapter should be up in an hour or so.

No chapter this week

Hey Everyone,

As some of you might have read a few chapter posts ago, I’m currently on holiday in Sydney visiting relatives and friends.
I’m also attending the SMASH convention, today and tomorrow, which has left me with pretty much no time to translate this week.
As a result, I’ll won’t be able to post a chapter tomorrow, but have no fear, I’ll make sure to get two out next week, hopefully.
For any readers attending SMASH, I’d say the convention has been pretty good so far, maybe I’ve even walked past some of you XD.

Chapter Delay

Hey everyone,

Chapter will be a bit late today.
Working on it at the moment and it’s a bit over 70% done, should be another hour or so until I can post it.
More info in the actual chapter post.

No chapter this week

Hey everyone,

Apologies but I won’t be able to get a chapter out this week.
I though I would manage the time to squeeze one out but it seems I was sorely mistaken.
Today was spent visiting uncles and aunts living at the furthest ends of HK while the next two days will be spent visiting all my other relatives.
Those with large extended families will know that one does not simply see all your relatives ahaha.

tldr;
No chapter this week.
Chapter next week.
Maybe double chapter next week.
Thanks.

No Chapter Tomorrow

Apologies everyone, it completely slipped my mind to post that I have an exam tomorrow and won’t be able to put out a chapter because of it.

Fortunately, the exam is the last thing I have left for university this year, so I should be able get a chapter out by Monday instead of the next week as it usually has been.

Chapter Delay

Hey everyone,

I have currently lost internet at home, posting this from the limited data I have on my phone, so the chapter post will be delayed.

I will post the chapter as soon as I have net back.
