Genocide Reality Chapter 10

Becoming a Samurai

Translator: Rockgollem

Editors: Vysne, Gingery Klaus, Skythewood

Illustration: Shadowskyexe

Youjo Senki (幼女戦記) gets anime.

The title means 'Loli Battle Chronicles', if you are wondering.

Fans will be pleased to learn that the anime will probably be faster than the translations when it comes out. This project remain hard as nails to translate.

If I were to use analogies to describe the difficulty level of translating;

KonoSuba (Gifting) is like a middle school tier,

Overlord is akin to high school,

Youjo Senki would be like doing a graduation thesis in college.

Of course, that is just my opinion and my personal experience. Do try translating it and let us know your take on the difficulty level.

Translation for Chapter 2 should be ready in late February.

Gifting website server upkeep

Everyone should know by now that translation for Gifting the Wonderful World with Blessing (kono-subarashii-sekai-ni-shukufuku-o) is currently hosted off site at skythewoodtl.com

After being hit by DMCA bots, I set up a website in Netherlands and named the chapters as fanfiction as suggested by readers. Will probably drop the project if it is licensed and an official version is going to be released. But since there is no sign of that, will keep it going.

However, doing so cost money and the donations I got from gifting since its inception is all used up. All USD $20 that I got for it in the last 12 months. Server rental is USD$10 per month, domain name USD$10 per annum. Having to translate and pay money to entertain you guys is just depressing, and sap my motivation to continue to do so.

TL;DR: please donate to keep the alternate site up. Do include the words 'Gifting' so I know its for the site.

Thank you for your time.

*Edit (25 Jan, 7:00pm GMT +8) USD $411 so far, enough to keep the server up for three years.

Will stop with the updates. Thanks everyone!
